The Annual Christmas charity competition and presentation dinner took place on Saturday December 15 th. A very enjoyable scramble competition netted €600 for the local St. Vincent de Paul Society. The Captain presented a cheque on behalf of the members to incoming Lady Captain, Mary Higgins. Well done to all and thank you. A cheque for €500 was presented to Mr Tom Staunton, representing the Irish Hospice Foundation, proceeds of the Captain’s Bunker for 2012. Mr. Staunton outlined the great work of the Hospice Foundation and the importance of the service to ensuring that terminally ill patients can spend their final days surrounded by family and friends.

A spectacular array of prizes were presented on the night, including the matchplay competition winners’ prizes, golfer of the year, hampers and the most coveted prize, the John Cusack Memorial Trophy.
