Ed's Blog From The Bog
Just a very brief message to wish you all well. 2019 has finally arrived and with it comes the hopes and aspirations of so many people here in Ireland. The last year brought its difficulties and challenges for Irish Blind Golf, but life would surely be boring without its challenges. I firmly believe that the next year will be pivotal and will see us scale heights that will make us an even stronger organization.
Jimmy Murray RIP
The loss our founder and spiritual leader, the legendary Jimmy Murray came as a monumental shock to all of us but Jimmy's beloved wife Maureen insisted that the continuing growth and expansion of IBG would have been Jimmy's greatest wish and would be his legacy. This is one of the many reasons why we must try to make 2019 a year to be remembered. Ar dheis lamh De go raibh a anam uasal.
AGM and Other Matters
It is expected that our AGM will be around the same time as last year but this will be confirmed in the very near future. We are also delighted that Darragh Stakelum is on the road to recovery and that our esteemed captain Philip Bond is also in great shape again. Rumours that the Ardrahan hurling team want him to make a comeback could not be confirmed but I know they're looking for a big strong full forward.
My Mole Near The Hole
Yes indeed my mole near the hole is as busy as usual and tells me that our charming secretary Carol Brill has returned from a very revealing golfing trip to Portugal. Aided and abetted by her equally charming guide Michelle Hughes. I'm reliably informed that the Dundrum dynamo tore up the fairways and won her category.
Have a Happy and Healthy 2019
Joan and myself would like to wish you all a very happy and an even healthier new year and may all of your dreams come true. I'm finishing off this little blog with a small poem that I wrote today. It's about friendship and Inniskee Island which I mention in the poem, is just of the coast of Mayo and has a special place in my heart.
My Friend
As I listen to the haunting sound,
Of the waves near Inniskee;
I'd like to be the kind of friend,
That you have been to me.
That faithful friend that you may find,
If you look inside your heart;
And realize that this new year,
Brings the chance of a brand new start.
I'd like to be that kind of friend,
Who never questions why;
But loves you just the way you are,
With a love that money can't buy.
