Mountrath Golf Club has lost one of its longest serving members following the death of Tom Lalor after a long illness.

Tom joined the club in 1968 at a time when it was on its knees and on the verge of closure. Captain of that year Tom Donlon, who worked with the ESB in Portlaoise and knew many people there, went on a recruitment drive. Tom was one of the first recruited followed by many more and the trend of Portlaoise members has continued to this day and has been of great benefit to Mountrath Golf Club.

Over the next 50+ years Tom was a loyal and dedicated member. He was also a fine golfer winning many of the top prizes including Golfer of the Year on two occasions. In 1973 he partnered Cecil Carter in the great Barton Cup victory and together they were unbeaten through each round culminating in a final win over Killiney.

In recent years his main focus was playing with the Seniors each Wednesday and whatever the weather, Tom rarely missed the golf and enjoyed the chat and banter afterwards. He served as captain of the seniors some years ago.

The club extends sincere sympathy to Tom’s wife Bernie, his daughter Ann Marie, son in law Blaine and grandchildren and to his brothers and sisters.

May his gentle soul Rest in Peace and he will have great chats with his many hurling and golfing friends in the great golf course in the skies.
