Two Directors were re-elected to the Board, with Barry Lynch (Regional Director – Munster) and John Power (Nominated Director) earning four year terms.
Speaking after the AGM, the new Golf Ireland President Kay O’Loughlin said; “I am honoured to become the new President, following on from the work done by John last year.
“In my role as President-Elect in 2021, I saw the fantastic work done by clubs around the country, and I look forward to visiting many more this year.
“I would also like to congratulate Jim Long on his election as President-Elect, and it will be great to work closely with him in the months ahead.
“To be named the first female President is an honour of a lifetime, and one I am extremely proud of.”
