Ladies enjoy prize giving

Ladies enjoy prize giving

13 December 2023

SOME 50 lady golfers ignored the recent poor weather and enjoyed their Christmas dinner and prize giving at Ardglass Golf Club.

After a sumptuous meal, Ardglass lady captain Teresa McAteer presented the trophies to this year’s lucky winners.

She congratulated vice-captain Anne Conaty, whose team won the Drumlin Shield in 2023. This is an annual friendly competition played between Ardglass, St Patrick’s and Spa Golf Club. 

Vice-captain Anne Conaty announced that her vice captain for next year would be Una Kelly.

Anne Marie Perry organised a quiz which provided more laughs than correct answers.

The lady captain congratulated the winners and runners-up and thanked all those who had contributed to a very successful and enjoyable evening. 

She wished all a Merry Christmas and good golf next year.

The ladies fondly remembered past lady captain and past club president Margaret Mulhall, who had passed away recently. 

She had been a member since 1937 and played her last competition in 2015 when she won the Joan McAlister Trophy with her daughter Catherine Kelly.
