One of the biggest events in the La Siesta golfing calendar is St. Patrick’s Day, keenly contested by our Irish contingent but also extremely well supported by all.

It’s the one event of the year in which the Captain gets a rest from the headache of organisation as the stress is taken away by our very own Rory McIlroy – Michael O’Reagan.

For over 25 years now Michael has stepped up to the plate and organised both the day and the evening event and what a great job he makes of it.

Michael is the consummate golf society member and is very popular with all other members. Generous to a fault, supportive of all activities both on and off the course, past Captain and a pretty good golfer to boot, Michael’s contribution for over two decades is immeasurable.

This year was no exception and despite some logistical difficulties the event was organised from afar with his usual quiet efficiency. And what a day it was too, both on the course where the turnout was superb and at the evening St.Patrick’s Dinner in the Campoamor clubhouse.

True to his Irish roots, Michael certainly knows how to throw a party.
