ROSCOMMON
A big crowd was present for the 2025 Drive-in at Roscommon Golf Club last Sunday as President Johnny Walker, Lady Captain Una Gleeson and Men’s Captain Robbie McConn began the golfing year in cold but perfect weather conditions.
Winners of the 10-hole scramble on a day that was kindly sponsored by Gleeson’s Townhouse were Carmel Walker, Simon Walker and Laura Griffith. In second place were Noreen O’Grady, Jackie Somers and Seamie Byrne.
COURSE WORK: It is hoped that more holes will be open for members this week as work on the course continues. Keep an eye on the WhatsApp group and BRS for more information. Once again the club are indebted to our volunteers who continued their clean-up operations (after the recent storm) last weekend.
COMPETITION: There will be a ladies 9-hole re-entry competition again this week. There will be a men’s competition this coming Saturday and Sunday. Details from the men’s committee later in the week.
OLIVIA: We wish Olivia Costello the best of luck as she represents Ireland in the Octagonal Tournament in Spain this week. The matches start on Wednesday, February 12th and continue for four days.
SYMPATHIES: There was deep sadness throughout the club at news last weekend of the passing of Teresa Browne who served as Lady Captain of Roscommon Golf Club in 1989. Teresa was a very popular member and officer over many years.
The club extends deepest sympathy to Teresa’s husband Richard, sons Neil, Richie, and Daragh and daughter Carol, her brother and sisters, and all her extended family and many friends. May she rest in peace.
