An Offaly golf club volunteer won the volunteer of the year award at the 2024 Golf Ireland AGM this weekend.
The fourth annual Golf Ireland AGM took place on Saturday at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Blanchardstown, in Dublin.
Mary Farrell was announced as the winner of the second Golf Ireland Club Volunteer of the Year at the AGM.
The Edenderry Golf Club member, who has volunteered at the club since she retired from her role as a secondary school teacher, was preparing herself for Easter Camps for their junior members this week.
“I am truly honoured to win the Golf Ireland Club Volunteer of the Year,” said Farrell.
“The recognition that you can get from your club, first of all, and then from your governing body is unbelievable and very welcome for all volunteers and particularly the volunteers that work with me in Edenderry.
“I am very honoured and proud to bring that award home, it’s still so very new and not too many other sports bodies do that.”
