Lisburn can boast two presidents
Ivor was Chairman of the Ulster Branch from 2008 to 2011. Ivor and his wife Audrey can now looking forward to a busy schedule attending amateur golf tournaments in Ireland and abroad. The Irish Amateur Open Championship will be held at Royal Dublin in May followed by the Irish Close at Connemara in June. The Irish Boys Championships will be held on the President’s home course at the end of June.
Overseas travel will include the Walker Cup at The National Links on Long Island in September. Hopefully Ireland will have some representatives on the team.

The US Open will be played at Merion Golf Club, Philadelphia in mid June followed by the Open at Muirfield in July. Ulster’s Rory McIlroy will be trying to retain the PGA Championships at Oak Hill, Rochester in August.
In his term of office Bobby had the privilege of presenting the Irish Senior Cup to the Lisnagarvey captain Ivan Morris. Ivor hopes he can emulate his close friend with a Lisburn victory at the all-Ireland inter-club finals this year.
Lisburn members wish Ivor an enjoyable and memorable year.
