A host of Past Club Captains and Presidents of the Rosapenna Golf Club spanning more than 50 years attended a special gathering recently. They played in our first men’s Past Captains & Presidents competition before attending a formal dinner and presentation in the Rosapenna Hotel. A total of 30 Past Captains turned out including Columba Boyce who wore the club blazer in 1974 and his brother Patrick – a two time Club Captain.
But it was another Boyce who claimed the top prize, young Louis Boyce with a fine score of 40pts on a blowy autumn day. Full results as follows –
1st Louis Boyce 40pts BOT
2nd Johnny Dowds 40 pts
3rd Michael Bradley 38pts
4th PJ Gallagher
Front 9 Garvin Toye 19pts
Back 9 Kieran Gallagher 21pts
Last three holes Tony Diver 9pts
Closest to the pin Fr Charlie Byrne
Thanks to all those who played and attended the dinner on what was an enjoyable night of nostalgia.
