| Members Achievements |
Glasson Golf Hotel & Country Club trio, of Lady Captain Pauline Smith, Captain Tony McCarthy and Vice-Captain John Parker, were 3rd in the regional qualifiers of the Mercedes Benz-Irish Independent Executive Golf Trophy Tournament at Galway Bay Golf & Country Club in May 2001. Pauline playing off 26, Tony off 14 and John off 9 returned 77 points. They went on to compete in the National Finals at the K Club on the 13th of August. Local knowledge played its part when husband and wife Claire and Joe Kenny had 58 points in the Regional Qualifiers of the Spar-Irish Independent National Mixed Pairs, and booked their place in the final at St. Margaret's. This is a unique competition where the first six holes are played as a scramble, the next six as foursomes, and finishes with singles.
Moira Grogan is the only Lady Member to have had a hole-in-one and she did it on the 15th, the year she was Captain in 1996.
