Ticket Draw         30.7.2024

 

Dear Member,

 

We began the ticket distribution on Captains day last week and we have left many tickets to be collected @reception where you can pick them up and sign the sheet. I outlined the reasons for the fund raiser in the recent Whatsapp and in short, we have to make this a success so we don’t have to revisit the membership with a 2^nd fund raising activity. Thank you to those who have bought and paid for tickets already.

 

In terms of Payment you have the following options as agreed with our Treasurer and Captain

1.      Our preferred method is by cash as we have always done. Please use notes only as the bank charge us for coinage. The Master sheet @ reception will be marked as paid

2.      If you can’t do cash you can do a bank transfer to the BMG account referencing your name and tickets. The account details are IE41PBS99062000330881. The Master Sheet @reception will be updated on a weekly basis if you have paid by Bank Transfer

 

All ticket stubs to be left @ reception. The committee are obviously trying to reduce the amount of Administration involved to the above (Hence please use cash if at all possible) but equally we want to be totally transparent in relation to ticket activity and report back to the membership on the success of this fund raising activity accurately.

Some Notices for upcoming events include. July/August are a busy period and we have both our own internal major competitions

• Saturday July 27th is Captain’s Day (George Moloney)

• Next Monthly Medal is scheduled for Sat August 10th

• This year we are having a social and a presentation for Captain’s and Presidents days plus other internal club competitions on the night of August 31st .We really hope you save the date & support the evening. The venue is upstairs at The Old Mill Tallaght, finger food / entertainment on the night, prize presentations approx 8.30pm, more details to follow. 

• Wednesday opens are on going and it is a great opportunity to invite visitors to play for €15 and showcase the course. Ladies are most welcome.

• The fixture list + Results and latest news for the year are on our public facing website link http://www.bmgc.ie

• Inter Club competitions 

Congratulations to everyone who represented the club in the various competitions. The results have been well documented on the whatsapp forum and website. The hope is in time that we will get members who are prepared to play in the competitions they are eligible for and represent the club as it is a great experience and will strengthen the teams.

Our Super Senior Team having progressed from their round robin group and now face their next challenge against Arklow and I’m sure every member will wish them the best of luck.

• BMGC’s own internal club singles and Scotch Foursomes continue at pace and well done to all those still remaining. The plan is to present the winners with their prizes at the social evening on Saturday August 31st

• There is a new Club website www.buttermountingolf.ie developed by the owners which will also assist us in centralising the messaging in time. If you have any suggestions for improvements the Ladies would love to hear from you

• The Committee are continuously reviewing with the course how we best manage Sunday Morning Golf. We remind you to book well in advance to secure your booking on Sundays on both Howdidido and the BRS System. 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.

• Fundraiser The 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 or indeed more. The raffle will be on presidents night (our only social of the year) . You will be hearing a lot about this event in the coming weeks and it is really important we get your support. I will be taking responsibility for coordinating this event and will begin distribution of tickets on Captains day

• 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. To win a medal you must have 10 qualifying cards submitted and you still qualify to win all other prizes available on the day.

• Communication with Committee 

If you have an issue or recommendation, we respectfully ask that you send a mail to buttermountaingolf@gmail.com and it will be addressed at or prior to the next committee meeting and responded to. We welcome feedback through this medium. The Whatsapp forum was never designed to tackle any issues with sensitivities attached so please use it for messaging, receiving club info and securing playing partners as required.

Keeping you informed.

Yours Sincerely
