Brendan Helped me plan mu trip to Ireland many years ago and spent countless hours going over every little detail with me. It was a fantastic trip and his input was the key. Playing golf with Brendan was like stepping back in time. His kind gentle words of encouragement and subtle needling made the game so much more interesting and enjoyable. He always told me he hadn't played in weeks as he stroked it straight down the middle of the fairway. He will be missed but not forgotten.
