The Dr Crokes GAA Club Golf Society outing at Waterville Golf Club was in memory of the late Denis Coffey, a former member, player, officer and supporter who was a loyal dedicated clubman.

The winner of the memorial shootout at Waterville was James Jones and he received his prize from Catherine and Noreen Coffey in the company of Dr Crokes Golf Society President Liam Hartnett and Captain Joey Sheehan.
