CLUB FUNDRAISER: Our Annual Weekend Club Fundraiser takes place on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, August 19/20/21. Team of four €120 with two scores to count at each hole.
Members are asked to help in organising teams and with sponsorship of tee boxes and greens. Let’s all pull together to make the event a success.

JUNIOR CLUB: If anyone has any starter/beginner/small/medium sized clubs gathering dust in their garages, and would like to donate them to the junior club cache, the committee would be delighted to take them from you.

Whilst most of the juniors have their own clubs, some beginners very new to the game – with great potential – haven’t invested yet and it would be great to enable them to try out a variety before doing so. Thanks in advance.
