The Irish Golfers Guide for 2004 is being prepared and once again its author Oliver Hilliard from Shannonbridge is as busy as a bee collecting data from golf clubs all over Ireland and presenting their Open Days in a diary form. It means that golfers will be able to see at a glance the best value for golf on the day. Last year we had four golfers from England based in the village and they told us that they had saved a fortune using Oliver's Golfers Diary. Should be hitting the fairways around April this year.
Spoke to a couple of people to fill in a Golf Advice bit on our web so that if you feel like a game you will get the best directions on where to play, hire clubs and so on. Will keep you posted.

Oliver Daly and I would suspect Mary have presented the Library with a wonderful box of books. So good that last evening Mick headed off to bed with a book on the musicals by Arthur J.

Oliver is a nephew of Joe Turley of Argus Car Rentals in Dublin and a son of the late Jimmy Daly Blackwater who was married to the late Annie Turley of Raghrabeg.
