Well eventually we got out for a decent
eleven holes today. It was our first
Tuesday and there was an exceptional
turnout. Almost 30 played with some
not returning cards.
There was a little confusion at the start
as some members arrived at 9.30
to find some players gone out.
To explain when I arrived there were
at least ten cards on the table.
Rather than have delays on the TEE-Box
I decided to commence the draws and to
send the relevant players out. It was also
decided to start some groups on the 13th
to speed up the play. Matters will resolve
themselves over the next few weeks.
However the practice of drawing cards
will not change.
We welcome our new members
and hope they enjoy the experience.
Our summer season commences on
April 5th. We are planning two away
days and a number of 18-hole
competitions at home with a meal.
More information later.
Our Club is very active in the Inter-Club arena each year, with GUI competitions and
various other competitions run by a selection of other Golf Clubs.
As you might expect, there is a core of enthusiastic Club Members who love representing
our Club in these matches, but fresh faces, from both existing Members and New Club
Members are both necessary and actively encouraged.
These matches are a great way of integrating into all aspects of YOUR CLUB, but, more
than that, there is no comparison in the game of Golf, than representing YOUR CLUB at
the Annual All Ireland Finals, and maybe culminating in bringing home to YOUR CLUB,
one of those elusive Pennants and Silverware.
Not only will it enhance your own Golf Skills to a higher level, but most of all they are
great fun to play in.
There is a range of competitions to cater for all Handicaps within our Club, so
Please do consider putting yourself forward for selection, on one of the Panel Sheets that
is displayed in the club's Locker Rooms, or alternately contact the respective Team Manager
