Welcome to the first Breaking Points of our 125 th year at County Sligo Golf Club
Captains Drive in 2019 Thanks to the 125 committee, chaired by Lady Vice Captain Edel McDermott for organising the day. Nothing was left to chance including the weather. The car was kindly provided by Keith English and was arranged by Michael McNamara. The car dates from 1927 and has never been painted. Did anyone spot the rifle?
The drone footage taken on the day was compliments of Emmanuel McCormack. Thankfully, the drone was unable to pick up the high flight of the tee-shots. The live music was organised by Ian Hodgson and was led by Don Swain. A special thanks to the Male Voice Choir and their Suspicious Minds!
Thanks to our MC on the day Joe Keyes and our very grand marshal Gerry McManus. Thanks to the Sligo Drama Society and in particular Fintan Whelan for supplying the mens outfits on the day. The clubs came down from the rafters in the members bar for one last swing. The maxfli warwick was gifted by TJ Ford.
Both balls dispatched safely from the tee and the race began to retrieve them. Luckily there were no divots to repair!
