Ballybofey and Stranorlar Golf Club was the picturesque setting for Donegal ETB Golf Society’s Annual Memorial outing.
Thanks to Jim McGlynn for compiling the beautiful display on show in the clubhouse of the various photographs and momentos collected throughout the years.
We were delighted to be joined on the day by Pat, Mary, Anthony and Darragh McGrath. Pat presented the prizes, including the Memorial Trophy which the McGrath family had kindly sponsored in 2022 in memory of theirs and our dearly departed Michael and all deceased members of our Society.
