The Corboys’ lakeside home was the setting for the annual “Welcome Irish Party” which signals the kick off for the Dallas four-day golf marathon. The setting, the company, the food, and even the weather co-operated as we all dined outside by the water.

Kingsley Aikins, President of The Ireland Funds, noted that the first Welcome Irish party was held at the Corboys’ home ten years ago and so it was only fitting that the 10th should be as well.

Lou Ann and Mike, as befitting the Tournament Royalty that they are, were presented with a King Waterford bowl. The Tierney family made a presentation to the AIF of a marketing photo display, which is badly needed for all future events. Mike Corboy made a special presentation to Tommy and Sarah Gallagher of dress cufflinks in gold and a gold drop for Sarah both with the great seal of the State of Texas to commemorate the 10th anniversary. Kevin Curley presented all the visiting Irish with Black Stetsons.

Boy did all those Paddies make good Cowboys. Watch out Clint Eastwood! As always with a Corboy party, “it was a night to remember.”
