Where do you start? A truly momentous day of celebration with our members and friends. I guess we should set the stage; The weather was perfect for golf with little to no wind and mild temperatures. The course presented a very difficult challenge, particularly the fast 12 greens on the stympometer combined with tricky pin positions.
Congratulations Miguel and your team, the course is an absolute credit to all of you. Our competition president Camillus, Terry and Philip once again made everything run smoothly and efficiently. Wow raibh maith agaut. At the Golf Shop Jean, Karolina and Michael, thank you for taking care of our members and visitors.
Fina was on duty today and we want to thank her and her companions for always having a kind word.
At our dinner dance we had 100 members and guests who enjoyed a night of joy. At the bar we had Gloria, Brian and Vanessa providing us with our libations. What can we say about Marijose and the kitchen staff, they surpassed themselves in variety of food and quality.
Praise flowed from all sides. Many thanks to all. The night was completed by our entertainers, a fantastic trio hosted by our very own Jackie, thank you all for making the night so memorable. We all danced all night to your musical arrangements. Last but not least, to Bruno the coach, thank you for everything you do for our club, it is greatly appreciated by everyone.
