Flannery new manager of Killarney Golf Club

Dingle man Cormac Flannery is the new general manager of Killarney Golf and Fishing Club — but it’s been a circuitous route back to O’Mahony’s Point.

Flannery is returning to Kerry from Bahrain, where he was golf operations manager at the world renowned Royal Golf Club.

He replaces Maurice O’Meara, who steered the club through two very successful hostings of the Irish Open in 2010 and 2011.
