MEMBERS SHOCKED AT DEATH OF EUGENE HALION
There was shock and sadness around Tuam Golf Club today (Tuesday) when news broke that Eugene Halion had passed away suddenly.
Eugene (or Stal to his friends) was one of the most dedicated members of the club and played golf at every available opportunity.
Once he finished his postal deliveries for An Post, he was invariably on the course and was an accomplished golfer. Although he was quiet and unassuming, he possessed a great ability and passion for the game.
He represented Tuam Golf Club at Pierce Purcell Shield level as well as figuring on other teams but he always loved to compete and improve his golf.
He was a regular in the Saturday Club where he featured regularly while playing alongside his regular fourball of John Bodkin, Ja Kelly and Pete Fahy.
Indeed, he had fully intended to travel to the Saturday Club's annual away outing in Donegal on this coming Saturday and was looking forward to the occasion.
In fact he featured in last weekend's Good Friday open day with a terrific score of 43 points and was playing again on Bank Holiday Monday and was in great form.
Of course his first love was soccer and played with Tuam Celtic, Mervue United but also had 29 first team appearances with Galway United.
He will be sadly missed by all those who knew him and played with him in Tuam Golf Club. He is an awful loss at such a young age.
