SOLICITORS' GOLFING SOCIETY

THE Autumn Meeting of the Society was held at

Grange on Monday, yth October, when the entry

was small only 23 members

taking out cards.

The Incorporated Law Society's Challenge Cup and

the President's Prize were won by L. K. Branigan

and the Ryan Cup by A. Marshall.

There was a

tie between D. F. Walsh and J. F. Donovan for the

best gross score, and the prize was divided between

them. There was also a tie for the best first nine

holes, Miss Corrigan and W. A. O'Reilly being equal.

The Dinner at the Clubhouse was presided over

by Mr. Dan O'Connell, the President of the Incor–

porated Law Society, who also distributed the prizes.

The toast of the Council and President of the Law

Society was proposed by Mr. J. J. Hickey (the

Captain) who paid tribute to the interest which the

President had shown in the Golfing Society during

his year of office and to the fact that he had come all

the way from Dundalk to preside at the Dinner.

He also thanked the President for the very hand–

some prize (a leather week-end case) which he had

presented with the Law Society's Cup. In replying

the President referred to the small entry for the

competitions and said he could not understand why

solicitors were so loath to take a day away from their

musty title deeds for the purpose of meeting their

brother professionals in an outing of this kind. He

expressed the view that one outing each year should

be held at a country venue.

The toast of " the Captain " was proposed by Mr.

W. Hayes, who referred to his lengthy association

with the Society, and reminded the members that

whilst he no longer took part in the competitions,

he had a certain reputation as a golfer having won

a cup at Pitlochry, Scotland, which was played for

under rules not to be found in any existing book of

rules either ancient or modern. He quoted one of

the rules, which gave the player liberty to place the

ball anywhere on the course except nearer the hole !

In replying, the Captain referred to Mr. Hayes as the

doyen of the profession and said that he had set a

standard of professional conduct which would for

ever be an example to younger members.

This was the first occasion on which a lady

solicitor took part in the competition, and the

Captain welcomed Miss Corrigan as the first lady

member of the Society.

The

toast of the Hon. Treasurer and Hon.

Secretary was proposed by Mr. M. Dwyer (County

Registrar for Wicklow), who said that the smooth

running of the competitions and

the excellent

arrangements for the dinner were due entirely to

the hard work put in by these two officers.

Master Kennedy referred to the small number

present, and urged solicitors to mention the Society

to

their brother professionals with a view

to

increasing the membership of the Society.

A vote of thanks to the Captain, Committee and

Secretary of Grange Golf Club was proposed by

Mr. W. Corrigan (Chief State Solicitor), who also

thanked the members for the reception they had

given his daughter as the first lady member of the

Society.

The membership of the Society this year is 67,

against 41 last year, but the Officers of the Society

are anxious that all solicitors who play golf should

become members.

Solicitors who are interested and wish for infor–

mation should communicate with the Hon. Secretary;

A. Marshall, 119 St. Stephen's Green W., Dublin.
