SHAMROCK SPECIAL

SATURDAY 16TH MARCH 16th 2019

THERE WILL BE 3 PRIZES IN EACH CATEGORY

BUT YOU MUST WEAR GREEN!!!

Dear Ladies,

Thank you ever so much to everyone for a wonderful day at my Drive In.

Despite the terrible weather which started soon after I teed off,  it was great that everyone decided to go out and play golf. The weather didn’t  stop the loyal Saturday Strollers members and off they went and soldiered on to the bitter end. There was a fantastic turnout  and the meal was lovely and enough for seconds for those who wanted to try both dishes !!! The cake was delicious also.

Congratulations to all the winners of the day  including, “Birdies” for January and February and Player of the Month,  in categories B and A.

Linda Corrigan achieved “An Eagle ” in February, so a big congratulation to her also.

It was a very enjoyable afternoon and we all brought our own “Sunshine” to the day.

Thank you to everyone for all your support, kindness, good wished and gifts, which I really appreciate and to all the committee members  for their hard work in making my Drive In a success.

 

Kind regards,

Joyce

 

 

 

 

Rules Night

On Tuesday February 26th we held a Rules night  with the other 3 Saturday societies and it proved to be a very informative and successful night.

Yvonne Cassiday  who is a member of the PGA , Professional Golfers Association and a member of Dundalk Golf Club guided us through the new rules for 2019 with great slides to make it very clear to us, what to do in any of the different situations we might find ourselves in. Yvonne also brought a few books, which some of the members have including myself,  with the visuals to keep us on track and can refer to at any time.

 

The Shamrock Special

the Shamrock Special will be held on Saturday 16th March 2019 with 3 prizes in each category. I would love to see lots of Green that day.

19th January 2019

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome all our members back and wishing you a very Happy New Year and a wonderful year of golfing.

You have all received the list of events that will be taking place during the year, but keep an eye on the website too, for updates.

Our first day back on January 5th was a glorious day and all were delighted to get out in the sunshine and hit a few balls after Christmas. Indeed we had Dympna Mc Cabe scoring the first “Birdie” of the year that day followed by Aideen O’Leary the following week. Well done ladies.

Here are a few events to get us started.

GOLFER OF THE YEAR

This competition starts on January 19th and will be played over 10 dates throughout the year.  The winner will be the person who scores the best eight out of ten games. Good Luck to all.

SPRING LAMB

This competition starts on January 26th and will be played over 5 selected weeks .The winner will be the person who  scores the best  four out of five games.  Again, Good Luck to all.

PLAYER OF THE MONTH

As usual we have this popular competition for each category, starting with category (B) for January, category (A) for February and category( C) for March. The player with the most points  in that month, will be Player of the Month.  Good Luck again.

CAPTAIN’S DRIVE-IN

My Drive-In will take place on March 2nd. This will be a team event. I encourage everybody to play as this is a great opportunity to meet and greet our new members. The sheet will go up in the locker room in the next couple of weeks.

AWAY DAY

The committee are organizing the away day on April 6th as Leopardstown will  be closed due to racing. We have decided to go to Charlesland in Greystones this year. We will keep you posted on this event later.

Happy golfing,

As our mobile supplier, three.ie is under maintanance at the moment, it will be difficult to contact each member if the course will be closed due to bad weather. Please contact Leopardstown directly @2895341 for up to date information. I will inform you when it is back in service
