What a beautiful morning we had in Cruit Island as Captains Cathal Doherty and Celine Markey together with President Joseph Gillespie hit 3 fantastic drives to officially launch our golfing season at Cruit Island Golf Club. We wish them all the best for their year ahead and look forward to many days like today with a great atmosphere and big numbers in the clubhouse. A superb day had by all and the weather really played its part.-1773827760676.jpg)
