CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL GIFT FROM GRANGE

The Grange once again showed their generosity when they presented David Doran of Crumlin Children's Hospital with a cheque for €57,521. The money was raised by Percy Vince and his team when they ran a golf outing and auction. This was a tremendous achievement in the present economic climate by Percy Vince, and all concerned are to be congratulated.

Our New Caddymasters

The Grange two new caddymasters (Shane and Dave) are settling in well to their new role at the club. They were appointed after the retirement of Jeff Hackett who had been at the club for 15 years.
What is not known perhaps, is that they are no mean golfers either. They are both members of the Grange artisans. Shane has only being playing golf for two years, but in 2007 his achievements read like this: The artisans  Captain's Prize; the President's Prize; Golfer of the Year; Intermediate Cup. Not to be laft out, Dave partnered Shane to win the Hazellett Cup with a score of 8 up (which is the envy of his fellow artisans) in the IAGA Festival.
Shane started with a handicap of 14 and lost 2 for his efforts. He is now down around 11.

Golfing Greats

Members of Grange were entertained by Shane O'Donoghue, author of "Legends in Their Spare Time", a book on the exploits of some of Ireland's golfing greats on Saturday night, May 10. Among this distinguished group of course we have our own David Sheahan, who is the only Irish amateur to win a professional golf tournament in this country. In the 60s he won the Jayes Irish Open in Royal Dublin.
Shane presented a slide show of some of Ireland's past golfing greats such as Jimmy Bruen, Joe Car, Noel Fogarty, Arthur Pierse, David Sheahan, Philomena Garvey, Mary McKenna and others.  Shane, in conversation with David Sheahan, Noel Fogarty and Arthur Pierse got an amusing account of some of their magic and funny moments in golf. The night was a great success.

What Are Seniors Worth

Remember, old folks are worth a fortune with silver in their hair, gold in their teeth, stones in their kidneys, lead in their feet and gas in their stomachs.

I have become a little older since I saw you last and a few changes have come into my life; frankly I have become a frivolous old gal!

I am seeing six gentlemen every day.  As soon as I wake up, Will Power helps me out of bed.

Then I go to see Johnny Loo.

Next Charlie Cramp comes along and when he's here he takes up a lot of my attention.

When he leaves Arthur Ritis shows up and stays around all day.  He doesn't like to stay in one place very long so he takes me from joint to joint.

After such a busy day I'm really tired and glad to go to bed with Johnny Walker.

What a  life! Oh yes! I'm also fighting with Al Zymer.

P.S. The minister came to call the other day.  He said that I should be thinking about the hereafter. I told him "Oh, I do! All the time. On my way home, in the parlour, upstairs, in the kitchen or down in the basement, I say to myself "Now, what am I here after!
