The only thing missing on the night was a fish taster!In his speech to the members Colin clearly showed his passion for Knightsbrook Golf Club, good friends, golf and good honest fun….he even spoke in Irish! Both captains thanked their committees for their work, the Cusack family, the hotel staff and the Golf course and golf shop staff for all their work to ensure that the club runs smoothly all year round.
