DOWN TO EARTH - 25TH ANNIVERSARY
ALL - IRELAND MOTHER & SON FOURSOMES
This competition took place on Sunday 1st September 2017. The weather was very wet
and windy until about 10 o’clock, when the rain eased off.
144 people took part with over 100 visitors from 50 different clubs. The usual Malahide
contingent was reduced due to the Ladies playing in 2 Leinster finals in Charlesland GC
on the same day, with some success – well done.
The competition and the “goody bags” were sponsored by Down to Earth Health Food
store Jack Irwin and Jane Smith {Irwin}, for which we are very grateful. Teas/Coffees
under the arch was sponsored by Bliss Cuisine, with bars from Jim McNeill. Again, we
thank you.
Many members helped to make the day run smoothly. Shane O’Neill. Jed Tormey and
Ross Keogh were the stand-by markers, and all three were called upon to play in the
rain. Irene Tyrrell, Bunny O’Farrell, Nuala Flaherty, Judith Morris and Mary Kennedy were
the welcoming committee and noted entries. Paul Webb did starter, and Willie Rooney
and Diarmuid O Donnchadha took photographs.
Many of those who played were regular competitors in the M&S which is a compliment
to previous organisers of the competition.
Many players complimented Malahide on the course and on the welcome, they received
they received in the club.
