Sympathy
The members of Portsalon golf club were shocked and saddened to hear that their former member and colleague Danny Clinton had passed away at his residence recently. Danny for many years graced his beloved Portsalon ‘’Banks’’, where he displayed his natural golfing ability. It was indeed our pleasure to have known him and to have such a local talent play on the ‘’Banks’’.
Danny during his golfing career represented Portsalon Golf club throughout Donegal and Ulster in the various competitions. Over the past number of years we were deprived of his golfing talents as he had sustained an injury which prevented him from participating in the game he so loved. However, Danny always kept in close contact with his golfing friends at Portsalon and was always willing to share his opinion and to pass on his extensive knowledge of the golfing game to those in need of advice. The Portsalon Captain D P Logue, President Wm Mc Cleary and the members of Portsalon Golf Club would like to extend their deepest sympathy to Mary, Seamus, Dana and Pamela his brother and sisters on this sad occasion of Danny’s death. May Danny be reaping his eternal rewards on the fairways of heaven. May he rest in peace.
