Skerries
Golf Club ("SGC") 1905-2005 Production team;
Tom English, Stephen Hope, Paul McCarthy, Michael Branagan
and Charlie O'Leary. The story of the SGC is that of a small
fishing village on the G.N.R. line who decided to have a golf
course to wake interest in the location as a place to visit
and settle. W.C.Pickeman of Portmarnock and Cecil Barcroft
from Royal Dublin (Dollymount at the time) respectively created
and improved upon the nine hole layout. It was not until 1971
that it was extended to 18 holes following swift action to
purchase to parcels of adjoining land which had come up for
sale. As with many clubs family dynasties were the catalyst
for the clubs success with the O'Hares who proved both successful
locally and in the United States where Paddy won the North
and South Championship at Pinehurst and Peter had Walter Hagen's
scalp from the USPGA championship and recorded a 7th place
finish in the 1924 US Open championships where Cyril Walker
had pipped Bobby Jones for the title. Another renowned family
would be the Kinsella's and Dermot Gilleece does a biopic
of Jimmy Kinsella the most successful of these. Dr. Gerry
H. Owens and his father J.F. Owens were also successful amateurs
with the former winning the 1939 Irish Close championship
in County Sligo after a blistering seven 3s he later became
president of the GUI and a member of the Royal and Ancient
Golf Club. Sean Lemass was probably their most famous member
as Taoiseach of Ireland and an active participant in the Easter
Rising of 1916, one member recounts a tale of a 'high stakes'
fourball match he was roped into and the shenagins that ensued.
