THE meticulous planning and exceptional generosity of Lady Captain, Anne Burns, resulted in an exceptional day at Dungannon Golf Club on Saturday.
Anne extended a warm welcome to members and visitors. The clubhouse was beautifully decorated with flowers by Pat Hughes and her team, and a magnificent array of prizes was tastefully displayed.
While there were beautiful prizes for golfers the real winners were the Lady Captain’s charities, the Niamh Louise Foundation and the Southern Area Hospice. The donations from players and guests will be doubled by the Burns family.
The Lady Captain thanked everyone who had helped to make her day so special. The work of our bar staff led by Denis and Muriel and the delicious meal prepared and served by Prince and his team was acknowledged. The competition secretaries Derek and Sarah ensured that the scores were recorded and prizes awarded and the hard work of the greenkeeping team was commended.
The Lady Captain, ably assisted by her daughter, Katie, presented prizes to the winners and Briege McQuaid presented the Lady Captain’s Cup to Vicki McCausland.
