It is a huge honour to be appointed as the men’s Captain of Lurgan Golf Club for 2025. I promise to do my best to justify the trust that you, the members have placed in me.
I would like to thank Past Captain Brian Mathews for inviting me to be his Vice Captain & for helping to prepare me for the year ahead. Brian will be stepping back from club duties & concentrating on trying to get his handicap into single figures!
​
I have a long personal connection with the club. My father was a Past Captain & President, my mother was a Past Lady President, my uncle was a Past Captain & my lovely wife Julie was Ladies' Captain in 2020.
​
As Captain I extend an open welcome to all members & visitors to come & enjoy all that our club can offer. Our members know we have a parkland course that is the envy of others all over Ireland, thanks to Niel our fantastic greenskeeper & his team. All are welcome in our clubhouse for a bite to eat & perhaps a social drink where Stevie, our Bar Manager & Mickey & Colleen of Bunker 43 will look after you.
​
I am really looking forward to 2025, especially following all our teams as they compete in the various competitions. I wish new Ladies' Captain, Alison Dowey, a great year & hopefully we can both celebrate winning a lot of silverware this coming Autumn. I know Alison & I will make a great team as we work together to maintain the high standards of Lurgan Golf Club in every way.
​
Alison & I have chosen Cancer Focus as our charity for 2025. It is a local cancer charity that helps cancer suffers & their families all over Northern Ireland & I know I can rely on your support throughout the year.
As you all know, clubs don`t run themselves, so many thanks to our hard-working management committee for all the work they do.
The club would not run as smoothly without our superb manager Joanne & her assistant Nicola. We are very lucky to have them all & together we have a fantastic team running Lurgan Golf Club.
​
Finally, I hope you all have a very enjoyable season, with high hopes & low scores.
Men's Captain
Henry Jordan
