Miss Violet Tynte

Miss Violet Tynte, of Tynte Park, Dunlavin Co. Wicklow, with some of the trophies offered at the Irish Cocker Spaniel Club´s 1958 Championship Show. Also in the picture is the notice board she introduced which shows results at a first glance. |
Described in a recent article in the Irish times as "the indomitable Miss Violet Tynte, a fierce horsewoman and noted player in international women's golf", Miss Tynte was one of the original trustees of the Baltinglass Golf Club in 1927 and an active member of the Cocker Spaniel Club of Ireland.
It appears from the history of the Baltinglass Golf Club that Violet Tynte was the driving force behind the formation of the golf Club and served as its President.
Born in Kent in 1882, she learned her golf at City of Derry Golf Club, and grew up in the first golden age of Irish Ladies Golf.
The lady herself was no shrinking violet as she played on Irish Internationals teams in all but one of the years from 1905 to 1914. (Indo)
In 1903 the Gordon Bennett Cup motor race was hosted by the La Touche family at Harristown. The eccentric heiress of Tynte Park, Violet Tynte, was so impressed by the occasion that she went on to co-found the Royal Irish Automobile Club on Dawson Street. (Turtle Bunbury)
