COMMUNITY NOTES: ERRIS - WESTERN PEOPLE (JULY 8 EDITION)
Carne Golf Links are heartbroken to learn of the recent passing of James Lacey.
Paying tribute, the golf course said, "His booming laugh, quick wit, and natural ability to connect with people made him a standout presence on and off the course. James had a way of making everyone feel instantly welcome. Whether you were a regular or a first-time visitor, he found common ground, shared a story or a joke, and made you feel like you’d known him for years. That was his magic.
"To Aishling, Hugo, his mother Olive, and all of James’s loved ones - extend our deepest condolences. Please know that James made a lasting impact here, and we will remember him with great affection and gratitude always. James turned strangers into friends and a round of golf into something truly special.
"James was a valued and active part of Belmullet Golf Club, where he brought light and warmth to every gathering. His sharp wit, easy charm, and boundless charisma left a lasting impression on all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
"James had a unique ability to make everyone feel welcome, always ready with a clever remark or a kind word. His presence was a constant source of joy and laughter, and his absence will be profoundly felt by all at Carne Golf Club.
"Heartfelt condolences are extended to Aishling, Hugo, and the entire extended Lacey family during this difficult time."
