| From Handicap Cards to Library Cards |
|
Over the last 50 years, Alistair Johnston – vice chairman of IMG and long-time confidante of Arnold Palmer – has amassed a collection of over 30,000 books dedicated to the game of golf. Soon his collection will find a new home at the R&A and a library built in his honor. |
| Remembering Noel Cronin |
|
Noel Cronin, General Manager at Waterville Links for over 30 years, passed away unexpectedly last week at the age of 75. Earlier this month, Noel sat down with Irish Examiner to reflect on his career and retirement after three decades at the helm of Waterville. A timely tribute for a man who will be sorely missed. |
| New Par-3 Course at Ballyliffin |

Our friends at Ballyliffin, host of the 2018 Irish Open, recently announced the addition of a par-3 course at their club. Designed by Pat Ruddy, architect of the club’s Glashedy Links and the famed European Club, the new short course is set to debut this summer. Stay tuned. |
