The ladies branch of Portsalon Golf Club wish to congratulate, and send their best wishes to Roisin McCormack, who has been appointed as Lady Captain for 2025.
Roisin brings a lot of experience to the role having proudly served as Lady Captain previously.
Mae Blaney has been appointed President of Portsalon Golf Club, joining Lady Captain Roisin at the helm.
Mae, a long-time member, has served in various roles for many years, including Lady Captain, and she is wished well for her two-year term.
Cheers from the members for Captain Brendan Cullen, Lady Captain Roisin McCormack and President Mae Blaney as they opened the 2025 golf season in Portsalon Golf Club.
The Captain’s Drive-In
Bathed in typical glorious sunshine, calm seas, barely a gentle breeze, the members of Portsalon Golf Club gathered to watch the Captain, Lady Captain and President launch the 2025 golfing season.
Not a nerve was shattered as each in turn drove their balls straight up the fairway, probably requiring a gentle chip with a wedge to reach the green.
With much cheering and applause, the members began the annual scramble shotgun start.
Congratulations to the ladies team of Noreen McConigley, Mary Barrett, Claire Ferry and Deirdre O’Toole who scored an impressive net 54 to come runner-up.

Golfer of the Year 2024
There are not many weeks that I do not mention Deirdre Hensey in my notes, so it comes as no surprise she was announced as the winner of the Golfer of the Year 2024 at the AGM. Featuring in most, if not all of the qualifying competitions she was also the recipient of the Bronze Medal.
Winning the Silver Medal was Pamela Clinton McDermott who is an ever steady feature in competitions.
The Birdy Book was won by another consistent player who has already won the Ladies Matchplay in 2024. Deirdre O’Toole was top of the ladies for scoring birdies throughout 2024.
