President Oliver Curley, and Captains Sandra Mooney & Larry Bane officially opened the golfing season in Tuam GC with their drive in on Sunday. Despite damp weather conditions 150 golfers turned out to support the new officers and play in a 9 hole sociable scramble. More joined the celebrations in the clubhouse later where Jarlath & Mark cooked up a treat for everybody and Tom and his team kept the liquids flowing at the bar.
