Beaufort

While all the excitement of the final day of the Solheim Cup was being played out in Virginia on Sunday 15^th September, Beaufort Golf Club were also building up to what was going to be a very entertaining Presidents Day. History was being made at Beaufort GC as it was the first time in the history of the 29 year old club that there would be a female president presiding over the day. Irene McCarthy took up golf in 1995 and through work commitments took up a position with the Department of Justice in Killarney and joined Beaufort Golf Club. Having worn many hats through out the years from Lady Captain to many various roles on the committee, it was richly deserved that Irene should become the first female President of the Club. Irene described being chosen as President as a great honour and privilege. She is delighted to see the men’s and ladies’ clubs both thriving at Beaufort GC. The increase in membership and the good camaraderie that is at the heart of Beaufort GC makes it even more special to be the President in 2024. Irene also commented on the vast improvement in the course and club house facilities in the recent years by the current management. The course is in fantastic condition at the moment and Tadhg Clifford and his staff deserved every bit of credit for the tremendous work they to do have the course and the greens in particular in the superb condition they are at the moment. It was tremendous to see President Irene at the golf club early on Sunday morning welcoming her golfers and having a cuppa and chat with everyone before they teed off. President Irene would like to thank all the ladies for their support not only yesterday but in the previous couple of years where President Irene has fought a tough battle in overcoming cancer. She was so grateful for all the kind messages, cards and well wishes she received. She would also like to thank the ladies who showed up for her prizegiving, even the ladies that didn’t participate in the golf.

There was a great turn out for the 18 hole stroke play competition. All the ladies enjoyed some top-quality food in the clubhouse after the golf and then enjoyed Presidents Irene’s prizegiving.

And the worthy winner, with a 3-stroke lead of her nearest competitor was the very talented Grainne McShortall. Grainne has been playing golf for only a few years now and her handicap seems to be coming down all the time and this is due to the dedication and time that Grainne dedicates to her golf.

As the sun settled in Beaufort on Sunday evening its fair to say that the ladies of Beaufort had a wonderful Presidents day.
