Following July’s committee meeting I wish to send members an update from the committee in relation to forthcoming events, Inter club match play competitions, internal match play competitions, Facility improvements etc. Our job is to work on behalf of the members and to make your Butter Mountain Golf Club experience a very positive one.
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)
Saturday August 31st is President’s day (Paddy Horan)
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
David O’ Driscoll
Committee Member.
