Patricia Walsh, hosted her 2013 Lady President's Prize last Saturday and while the weather was very wet with pretty much constant rain throughout, this did little to dampen the enthusiasm in the club and in the competition as there was a fantastic turnout of ladies to play and keen interest in winning the beautiful prize Patricia had put up.
