COUNTY TIPPERARY
CELEBRATION: 30th anniversary celebration of Co Tipperary Golf and Country Club in Dundrum a most enjoyable occasion. It was very impressive to see so many of our past Captains & Presidents in Dundrum House for a wonderful day. Our first Captain Jim Kinsella speaking in the Venue complemented all who organised the event especially Lady Captain Mary O’Donnell and her team of ladies. He paid tribute to those who are no longer with us. He paid special tribute to the late Austin Crowe who was our first President and creator of our wonderful Golf Course. Unfortunately, Mary Crowe was unable to attend due to illness.
He said we owe Austin Crowe and the Crowe family a serious thank you. He went on to remember the Captains and Presidents who are no longer with us; Presidents Jack Crowe and Peter Magner, Captains Seamus Moore and Pat Flynn, Lady Captain and President Mary Slattery. He also mentioned two of the original committee Pat Carroll and Jack Ryan and the winner of the first Captains Prize Denis Fogarty, may they all rest in peace, a minutes silent prayer observed.
Lady Captain Mary O’Donnell thanked everyone for coming, playing the golf and enjoying hospitality the venue. She complemented the management and first committee for making Co Tipperary Golf & Country Club the first in the country to be an equal rights club with membership for ladies. She noted the first Lady Captain was Vera Heffernan and first secretary was Kay Crosse.
Lady Captain Mary complemented Captain Daniel Kennedy and the men’s club for their help. She especially thanked her ladies committee for all their help organising the event, Sheena Ryan for work on the paper cuttings. She thanked Winneanna’s parents Anna and Sean for helping to decorate the venue.
Captain Danial Kennedy welcomed all the members and former Captains & Presidents that were able to come and celebrate the past 30 years. He particularly thanked Lady Captain Mary O’Donnell for all the work she put into organising the day and the very many photographs that were on display. He thanked all the staff in Dundrum for the work they do to make playing golf in Dundrum such an enjoyable experience.
He went on to say that on a day like today it so important to remember all those who have gone before us and no longer play golf.
