Irish Golfer’s Blue Book 1939-40

“Having had some experience of what is entailed by the production of various “Irish Golfing Directories”. I opened the new Irish Golfing Directory with some curiosity. It was late in its arrival and well I knew why (the author had continuously delayed his own earlier directories and cancelled his last attempt). The responses of club secretaries to appeals for information are slow and too often fail to come at all. The editor is to be congratulated on the general result, and all being well, future editions would see improvements. The series of articles by various golfers are most interesting. To Lionel Munn one accords the palm, for it is sound and provides plenty of food for thought, as one reads it, one can hear him talking, so to speak, and who has listened to his slow drolleries without amusement”
