PRESIDENT GERRY HOPES TO EMULATE OLD FRIEND WALTER

County Armagh Golf Club's new President, Gerry McCreesh, has spoken of his honour at taking up the position for 2018-19.

Gerry told assembled members and guests at the New Year's Day inauguration ceremony, “This is a very proud day for me and for my family.

“When I came into the clubhouse this evening, I looked up at the board showing the names of all the previous Presidents. When I think of all the things those people have done for this club, I realise I've a lot to live up to. It's a daunting task but one I look forward to."

County Armagh Golf Club's new President, Gerry McCreesh, is presented with his new club blazer by his predecessor, Walter Neville.

McCreesh paid particular tribute to outgoing President, Walter Neville, who undertook the role with such enthusiasm and dignity in 2016-17.
