We had our first outing for 2025 last Saturday in Esker Hills, home club to Shane Lowry. With a great turnout of 30 golfers, it was lovely to see 3 or 4 new members. Our new Captain, Shane Loftus, got the new year under way with a booming drive. The weather improved from a wet start and most golfers got around three quarters way through their round before the rain returned for the last hour or so. Winner on the day with a great score of 41 points was the evergreen Tommy Aherne, edging out debutant Evelyn Cafferty by a single point.  The outing was very kindly sponsored by Vincent McMorrow and there was a great turnout for the presentation of prizes in Monica’s later that night.
