CONDOLENCES – The late John Cryan was an active playing member of the club for many decades and was well regarded for his sociability and wit. He participated in many outings of both the club and the Shepherds Crook Golf Society and indeed was often the central character and protagonist of some of the most frequently repeated anecdotes from those trips. He will be hugely missed by the wide circle of friends he made throughout his golfing career. The club wishes to express its condolences to our former Lady Captain and Lady President Claire Cryan on the death of her husband John and also to John’s sons, daughters and sisters.
