Golf NL is pleased to acknowledge Ms. Sue Hickey as the winner of the 2022 Volunteer of the Year

When you think of Bally Haly Ladies league, you think of Sue Hickey.  Sue has been a member of Bally Haly for about thirty (30) years, has served on the board of directors, and is presently a member of the Golf Committee.

Her positive attitude and friendly and humorous demeanor endears her to everyone she meets. Is trustworthy, approachable, and eager to help – she is often the “go-to” person for inquiries between members and staff.

With a background in teaching and Human Resources, her creativity and attention to detail have resulted in the successful revival of the Women’s League on Tuesdays, bringing it from nine (9) members a few years ago to its current complement of close to fifty (50) active participants.  

She works tirelessly to ensure all members are involved. – early morning golfers, regular Ladies’ Day golfers, and the late afternoon/evening group ensuring that all are included in the social activities of the Ladies League. 

She has been involved in other activities at Bally Haly in a volunteer capacity, such as the Men’s Invitational, Gzowsky Tournament, etc..She has served on the Women’s Invitational Committee, acquiring sponsorships and prizes.

Covid did not stop Sue. She still found ways to get the ladies engaged in the Ladies League for golf. She found creative ways to keep all the ladies feeling that they were part of the league, encouraging everyone to give a wave, a smile, or a shout-out as they passed each other in the course.  Her weekly emails were funny, upbeat, and positive, cheering everyone on and providing creative fun tournaments to keep us all engaged.
