Clonmel Golf Club – Notes
Mens Notes
Condolences
It is with sadness that we note the passing of our member Trevor Gough of Rathcoole/Coolmore, Fethard. Trevor was a long-standing member of the club and had only joined the club again earlier this year. He participated in many events but in particular the mixed competitions on a Friday evening and the many Mixed Teams over the years. He will be sadly missed by his many friends here at Clonmel Golf Club.
We extend our condolences to Trevor’s wife Joan who was Lady Captain in 2000, sons Anthony and Ian and daughter Louise, grandchildren and extended family in England along with his golfing friends.
May Trevor rest in peace.
