Golf: Former golf union president to be remembered 

Ricky Jupp described as 'one of life's true gentlemen'

The Island's golf community will pay its respects to the former president of the Isle of Man Golf Union today.

Ricky Jupp's death was confirmed by the Isle of Man Golf Union earlier this month - his funeral will take place this morning (28 September).

The union described Mr Jupp as 'one of life's true gentlemen' and a 'great ambassador' for the sport on the Isle of Man.

The Comis Hotel Mount Murray Golf Resort - at which Mr Jupp was previously president and captain - also paid tribute describing him as the 'life and soul of golf at the club'.
