Lough Erne Resort’s director of golf, Barry McCauley, has been awarded the ‘Ulster Golf Manager of the Year’ accolade at the Golfers Guide to Ireland Awards.
News follows his promotion to director at the resort, where he has served for a decade in a range of roles.
The awards aim to recognise the golf courses, clubs, and industry professionals “who have pushed the boundaries of excellence”.
As head of golf operations, McCauley has enhanced the resort’s golf facilities, incorporating the Faldo Course and Castle Hume Course, which are “highly regarded” by both seasoned professionals and golf enthusiasts.
McCauley said: “It is a great honour to win the ‘Ulster Golf Manager of the Year’ award, but it is very much a testament to the work, in particular of our Golf Courses’ Superintendent, Sean Reilly, the greenkeeping team and the wider golf operations staff for their supreme dedication over a busy golf season.
“Those who enjoy our courses see the evidence of this every day. The Faldo Course’s recent ranking in Golf World’s Top 100 Parkland courses in GB and Ireland is due in no small part to Sean and the team.”
Jeff Mahan, founding member of Tru Hotels and Resorts, which operates Lough Erne Resort, added: “Barry has been an integral part of the resort’s success in recent years and his promotion is well deserved.
“From the green keepers to the operational and services staff, our club professional Damian Mooney, and our golf courses superintendent Sean Reilly, each and every person plays a vital role in delivering the outstanding golf experience we are known for at Lough Erne Resort.”
