Winter League Jan Update

We have just completed the first half of the fixture list and every team has played each other once.  
Panthers (Jimmy Graham and Co) continue to lead the table. But their amazing run of 7 wins out of 7 came to an end last week when their nearest rivals Eagles (Brian Cruise & Co) beat them in the top of the table clash!
 Patriots (James Nolan & Co) and Saints (Kevin Behan & Co) have started a late charge, winning their last two matches.
 This week the Saints take on league leaders Panthers and the Patriots take on Eagles.  Will the Panthers stumble? Can the Saints and Patriots continue their recent form? The Bears (Eoin Boggins & Co) take on the Broncos (Noel Murphy & Co), and win for the Bears could move them into second place.

With nine matches to be settled over the next 8 weeks it is still a wide open competition.

Course Update Fri 15 Jan

 Course will be open for play this weekend Sat 16th / Sun 17th on Temp greens
The competition will be a 14hole Stableford skipping the wettest parts of the course around the 13th,17th & 18th holes. Full details of course Route and indexing posted on Completion Wall in starters room. and here
Course Report:
January looks set to be a difficult month for Golf at DMGC, with December rainfall amounts the highest for over 100 years. The cattle hoof damage on the 17th hole has not recovered yet and combined with the heavy saturation it may be out of play for week or two. Another example is on the 13th, I wanted to move the flag onto the Temporary green before Christmas, but the Temp 13th green and surrounds were wetter than the main green.
Hopefully conditions will improve for next weeks competitions.

2016 insurance increase

We have been informed that our current AIG Golfers insurance will rise to €27 this year.
Brian McNamara has contacted AON insurance and it is proposed that we switch to their package @ €25, which will cover us from April 2016 to April 2017.
Apologies for any inconvenience caused as this increase was not reflected in the renewal forms sent out before Christmas. The new breakdown is :

Full €452 + VAT@45€  = €497
Committee & Gui fees@€35 +AON insurance@€25 = €60
Total: €557

The committee is requesting members who have not already renewed their annual subscription, to add the €5 increase to the clubs portion of the subscription which now rises from €55 to €60. For those who have already paid their subscription for the year the committee requests  that you place the €5 in a sealed envelope marked INSURANCE PREMIUM INCREASE with your name and GUI number and give it to any committee member or leave it with Fiona or Deborah at the office.
