Condolences
Athlone Golf Club extends its deepest sympathy to member Maura Kelly on the recent death of her father, Michael. Ar dheis De go raibh a anam dilis.
Senior members of the club will be saddened to hear of the sudden passing of Fr John Condon of Ferrybank in Waterford. Fr John was actually the Golf Professional in Athlone in the early sixties and was succeeded by Martin Quinn, still hale and hearty, in 1967. John resigned from his position in Athlone and went on to study for the priesthood. He returned many times over the years to enjoy a round of golf and visit with his good friends, Martin and Madeleine Quinn. Ar dheis De go raibh a anam dilis.
The members of Athlone Golf Club extend their sympathy to the relatives and friends of PJ (Poncho ) Murray. PJ was the chief photographer for many many years in the club and was renowned for his professionalism, great patience and wit on presentation nights. His attention to detail was legendary. One of his favourite sayings as he prepared a photo shoot was ‘the camera never lies’. Rest well PJ.
