Captain’s Prize Winner

Noel Coomey was the winner of the captain’s prize at Bandon Golf Club last week-end. The former Argideen Rangers goalkeeping star is just as skilled with a golf ball as he was with the sliotar. Noel is a valued member of the Timoleague Golf Society. His great victory at Bandon is really upping the anti for the other members of the society. Noel was presented with his prize by Stephen Kelleher, captain of Bandon Golf Club in the presence of his proud wife and family at the conclusion of a great day’s golf.
