The 2015 Row Golf Society Season came to a conclusion at Foxrock Golf Club on Friday October 9th. 39 members and visitors graced this lovely old course in great weather conditions. The Pat McGrath Memorial Trophy was won by Alan O’Connor Snr. with a great score of 40 points. He just piped your scribe (Jim Conway) who scored 39 points. The best score of the day, however, was recorded by Frank Whelan who brought in 41 points but he had to settle for a minor place as he had been “docked” 4 points after he won the President’s (Des Donnelly) prize earlier in the year. Frank did, however, win the Des Stirrat Cup for Golfer of the Year for the best total over 2 out of 3 rounds during the season.

President – Des Donnelly
Captain – Alan O’Connor Jnr.
Hon. Sec. – Tony Kenny
Hon. Treasurer – Brian Donnelly
