Captain’s News

 

Dear Members,

Our away day took place on the 6th February in the spectacular surroundings of Wicklow Golf Club.  The course was challenging, and was made even more so by some heavy rainfall. Nevertheless, our group of hardy ladies pressed on, negotiating hills and muddy conditions! Congratulations to all who took part.

I’m looking forward to seeing you at my Drive-In on Saturday and lets hope the weather will favour  us.  Please assemble at 11.45 am to collect your cards.  The format will be Scotch Foursomes.  The rules are as follows:                                                                                                   Players A + B  tee-off on every hole and the best drive is chosen.  If Player A’s drive is chosen, Player B takes the second shot.  Alternate shots are then taken until the ball is holed.

Lunch and Prize-giving will follow in the Green Room with a wine reception, chicken chasseur lunch and cake, tea/coffee.  If there are any special dietary requirements, please let me know in advance and catering will do their best to provide a suitable alternative.

If weather conditions prevent us from playing, lunch will go ahead at 1.30 pm and there will be a draw for prizes. Lets hope and pray that this does not happen!

Voting for the handicap system will close on Friday, 19th February  so please return your ballot sheet on or before this date.  Our Handicap Secretary, Joyce Mulligan will count the votes  and the result will be verified by another member of the committee.  An announcement will follow before the end of February.

Our society jumper may be ordered from:   Express Embroidery (Par 72 International)                                                                                                               Contact: Liam, 1800925722

Best wishes,
