Dear Members

Thank you for your support this past year. We will continue to rely on members support for 2010 as the current financial situation works itself out. Every single member is in a position to help by bringing guests as green fees or perhaps if you are involved in a society by considering us as fixture on your list for next year.

Sponsorship plays a huge part in the financial success of the club so if you are in a position to contribute in any way please keep us in mind.

 

Ladies News

A new golfing season has begun and may I wish you all good things on the golf course and in all aspects of your lives in 2010.

 We look forward to the season ahead and hope for success for our teams during the year but most importantly we look forward to the social side of the golf.  We do plan on arranging a number of fun competitions, the first one on Sunday, 14th February.  This will be a team event with the public sector battling the private sector (is that supposed to be fun!) – the non-aligned may support whichever sector most needs help or perhaps hindrance!

 As always, we are participating in the AA Championships, the Miele the Irish Mixed Foursomes and Cullen Cup competitions and our team managers are:

                        Junior Cup                                Catherine Quinn

                        Intermediate Cup                      Frances Corrigan

                        Minor Cup                               Deirdre Brennan

                        Challenge Cup                          Enda Corrigan

                        Senior Foursomes                     Anne Reville

                        Junior Foursomes                     Ann Coventry

                        Miele                                        Ann Chalkley

                        Mixed                                      Moira O’Connell

 The Ladies Club weekend away is arranged for Druid’s Glen on 25th-27th June – we will be playing Druid’s Heath on the Friday and Druid’s Glen on Saturday.  Get your name on the sheet and pay your deposit to Mary Kenny, our Social Secretary. Venue still to be decided for Ladies Day Away but it will probably be in August.

 

Dates to remember for those of you booking your summer holidays:  Lady President’s Prize – Sunday, 13th June; Lady Captain’s Prize – Saturday, 24th, and Sunday, 25th July.

 

Thank you all for your good wishes for the year.  Here’s hoping we have a bit of good weather with lots of fun and success on the golf course throughout 2010.

 Brigid Kennedy

Lady Captain

 

Men's News

It’s been a wonderful few months weather-wise and hopefully we all have taken full advantage of it to get out and play golf.

Congratulations and many thanks to all who participated in club teams over the summer and while we did not bring home any silverware many good days were had by the teams. A special word of appreciation to the managers who gave up a lot of time and effort to ensure the teams were well prepared. Our professional Felix was a very important part of this effort and I am sure all who attended his coaching clinics benefited greatly. Now is the time to start preparation for next year so get involved and sharpen up your game to make a team next season.

Many congratulations to Aidan McDonald who won the Captains Prize with a great score of 139.
Our Captain Gerry is now being referred to as Captain Sunshine such has been the weather on all the important club days so far this year. The only exception to this was the Sunday qualifiers for his prize who had some light showers to contend with.

The greenside bunkers on the front nine are being upgraded as was mentioned in the recent letter from the captains and whilst every effort will be made to minimise any disruption please show forbearance if any disruptions occur.

“Well done” to our juniors who had a great result in the Tilestyle Trophy and keep it up for the rest of the year. The Junior Liaison Officers Colette and Pat and the committee deserve our praise for all their work

With Autumn on the horizon and the Presidents Prize in the near future  keep on the fairways and support the club as much as possible.

Here’s to fine weather and good golf..
