Members gear up for Waterford’s centenary festivities

ANY visitors to Waterford Golf Club on New Year’s Day would have been forgiven for thinking that they had stepped through a time portal to 1912.

The club is celebrating its centenary this year and last Sunday week, the day of the captains’ and president’s drive-in, members posed in period dress.

“It was optional to do so,” says club secretary Michael Foley. “A lot of people did dress up. Blaithnaid McCann, the wife of a former captain, runs a company that sells vintage clothing so it wasn’t difficult to source!”
