The round 1 deadline is set for May 29th.The guys will update the membership by WhatsApp, blog& the notice board

·         There is a new Club website developed by the owners on the horizon which is likely to go live in May which will also assist us in centralising the messaging in time.

·         The Committee are continuously reviewing with the course how we best manage Sunday Morning Golf.We remind you to book well inadvance to secure your booking on Sundays and we are really committed to getting increased activity on Sunday’s. The more activity we get on Sundays will increase our capacity for change. Your feedback and suggestions are welcome.

·         The committee are also working on developing a clubcode of conduct for both on and off the course

·         FundraiserThe committee plan to have a singular fundraiser this year.It will take the form of a raffle and we will be asking all members to try and sell 4 tickets. The raffle will be on presidents night (our only social of the year).More details to follow and tickets will go on sale in June

·         The Committee have adopted Golf Irelands directives in that a member is not entitled to win the top prize on the captains and presidents day if they have not submitted 20 qualifying cards and have a full GUI Golf Handicap.The good news is however, that you will qualify to win one of the up to 20 other prizes on each day.
