There is only one President of Portsalon Golf Club.
It’s not just the welcome smile you get when you enter the shop in Portsalon Golf Club, it’s the reassurance with a twinkle in his eye, that the chocolate bar for the 10th tee box won’t add an extra pound, the gorgeous size 10 top for sale would be far too big for me, and that there will be loads of shelter on the 3rd fairway from the brisk breeze whooping in from the sea.
Our club President Donal Callaghan’s role can’t be matched by any other, and I always leave the shop with a smile of expectation of many pars and the odd birdie.
So, as his President’s Day approaches on Saturday, Lady Captain Noreen and the ladies branch all wish Donal a wonderful day, and regardless of the weather, a sunny one with his family and friends.
