REMEMBERING SEAN SKEHAN

The Flying Golfer

We wanted to firstly acknowledge the life of Sean Skehan, as most of you know we lost Sean earlier this year. Sean first started to bring golfers abroad in 1974 and over the years he established a great community of hundreds of golfers that enjoyed trips all over the world. 

We received so many messages and well wishes from you all after Sean’s passing, so we’d like to say thank you, from the Killester Travel Team.
