A large crowd was in attendance in the Dundalk Golf Club Clubhouse on Saturday evening as the Club formally marked Caolan Rafferty’s historic achievement in becoming the first player to win all four Men’s provincial championships.
Tributes were paid to Caolan by the President of Golf Ireland, Michael Evans, and the Captain of Dundalk Golf Club, Michael O’Sullivan, while others, including fellow Irish internationals Colm Campbell and Tiarnan McLarnon, recounted moments from his career during a series of entertaining interviews.
Captain Michael O’Sullivan and Lady Captain Leonie Baillie presented Caolan with a framed montage of photographs of him and various members of his family with the four provincial trophies.
They also presented him with the specially commissioned Caolan Rafferty Cup, which will be played for among the men as a Golfer of the Year competition at the end of May.
In response, Caolan thanked the Club and its members for their support over the years, as well as his family and friends.
The Captain’s Drive In takes place this Sunday at 3.45pm, and all are welcome to attend. There will be a buffet meal afterwards at 4,30pm in the Clubhouse, and tables can be booked through the Bar.
The Drive-In will be preceded by a men’s team competition, which will have a shotgun start at 9am and a Mixed Foursomes competition at 1.30pm. Teetimes can be booked through the BRS system.
