WATCH: Lahinch Golf Club captains send video message to members

Lahinch Lady Captain Elect, Margaret Cooney, and Captain Elect, Limerick native Johnny O’Brien have taken to video to updated their members on what is normally the day for the Club's AGM - Good Friday. 

Founded on Good Friday in 1892, Lahinch Golf Club held its Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Good Friday until 1922 when it was moved to Saturday of the Whit weekend - the reason for the change of date is unknown.

To celebrate the Clubs Centenary Year in 1992, it was decided to change the date of the AGM back to its original date of Good Friday, to honour the founders of the Club including Alexander Shaw and Richard Plummer amongst others.

The club has informed the Limerick Leader that the incoming Officers for the year ahead are:
Presidents Elect: Yvonne Morrison & Eugene Gilligan
Captains Elect: Margaret Cooney & Johnny O’Brien
Vice-Captains Elect: Frances Wood & Jim Nolan
Ex-Officios Elect: Helena Tiernan & Eamon Foley
