Eamon, from Lawrencetown, was one of the golf club's best-known and most respected members.
He was a lifelong member of the club and he made his mark both as a player and as an administrator.
He was a key member of many teams during his playing career but he is best remembered for his matches in the Ulster Cup. Eamon loved the one-on-one battles in this competition and he won a lot more times than he lost. He was a fierce competitor but also a true sportsman.
In later years, Eamon accepted the captaincy of the Senior Cowdy Cup team, a position his son Paul currently holds. He led this team to victory on two occasions and he was the proudest man in the club.
Eamon served on the club council for many years and he was elevated to the position of Club Captain in the year 1989.
He was still a very good player at that time. He had won the Ballyvalley Filling Station Competition in May '88 with 41 points off a handicap of 14.
But it was other players' achievements, not his own, which brought him most pleasure in his captaincy year.
Young Raymond Burns won all four Provincial Boys titles in 1989, a unique achievement never likely to be equalled. Eamon hosted a celebratory dinner for Raymond in October of that year.
season
Eamon's son Paul won the TB Wallace Cup in 1989, shooting a gross 69 in what was only his third round of the season. And, I wonder does Eamon's daughter, Sinead, remember playing in the Ladies Winter League that year.
PJ Johnston won Eamon's Captain's Day with a new course record score of 68 gross. That was another proud day for Eamon.
Eamon loved the golf club and the competitions. He was delighted when his nephew, the late Darren Weir, captained the Mahaffy Shield juvenile team to victory in 1989. John Russell Jnr. was the juvenile captain alongside Eamon and they made a great team.
The list of memories goes on and on and everyone has their favourite tale to tell about Eamon.
Eamon worked tirelessly for the club while he was on council. Just remember the next time you go into the trees at the right of the second hole, that most of these trees were planted by Eamon. That was only one of the many tasks undertaken by Eamon.
Our sympathies go to Eamon's wife, Mairead, to his son, Paul, and to his two daughters, Siobhan and Sinead.
There was a very large crowd at Eamon's funeral last Thursday and the golf club was well represented.
A verse from the reflection read at the end of the service by Eamon's neighbour, Plunkett Campbell, is very appropriate when we think of Eamon.
"Miss me a little – but not too long
"And not with your head bowed low.
"Remember the love that once we shared,
"Miss me – but let me go."
May he rest in peace.
