UK Golf Day - Re-Introduction
Plans have recently been finalised for the revival of this unique event.
The Background
Pat Mulcahy, London reunion dinner organiser, had often considered organising a UK Golf Day but, not being a golfer himself, found it difficult to put together. Then, just a few weeks before the London dinner of 2006 an event occurred which gave him the impetus to review the idea.
Dr. Mick Brosnan (leaving year '49) & his family were good supporters of the London dinner. Their son, Mike, a golf promoter was in the USA organising a golf event, when he died suddenly in his sleep, at the age of 46.
The shock of this occurrence prompted Pat to purchase a silver trophy which he dedicated to Mike's memory.
It was named the Brosnan Bowl and will be awarded, on an annual basis to the winner, who must have attended Rockwell. ( An alternative prize will be awarded to a guest winner, who did not attend the College) Book now
