Macreddin Misunderstanding

It was announced just before Christmas that Macreddin Club plc had been put into liquidation. This caused a flurry of concern over the future of Macreddin Golf Club, one of Ireland's most under-rated golf courses... however, there is a distinct difference between the two entities. Macreddin Club plc ceased to be involved with the club back in 2010, and the golf club itself has been thriving ever since.

A phone call to David Lee, who manages the course, resulted in him making the following statement on Boards.ie:

The company that operated the golf course up to and including receivership (Until Nov 2010), Macreddin Club Public Limited Company has been liquidated. We have been operated by a new entity since. This liquidation does not affect the Golf Course, the status of current members or our plans for growth going forward in any way. We would like to thank everybody who supported the club in 2011 and look forward to seeing you back on the fairways in 2012.
