‘Our Lord moves in mysterious ways’, we’re told – well he certainly guided the Beast that brought snow in mysterious ways last week.
Ballybofey and Stranorlar Golf Club was one of a very few golf courses that escaped free of the white stuff that made many many cities, towns and golf courses so picturesque.
As it turned out, B&S and some of the surrounding towns escaped completely snow free while others further down the island had indeed up to two meters. Some of these town rarely seen snow years.
This was to be an advantage, as both members and visitors did not miss out on their weekly passion, the banter, the craic, the four ball, the highs, the birdies, the lows, the bogeys, the camaraderie, all of which are important if you are a seasoned golfer.
The Irish Golf Expo was cancelled at the weekend and will now go ahead this weekend, 10th & 11th March. If you would like tickets to this fabulous event, please sent a private message to the Facebook page.
