Dear Members,

Our season is going very well so far and there have been excellent scores returned.  The qualifying round of the Ping Competition will take place on April, 23rd and there will be prizes for 1st to 4th place (including Ping Rhapsody umbrellas and towels) .  During the week commencing 18th April, the Rhapsody product series from Ping, exclusively engineered for women, will be available by request to demo from the golf shop throughout the week.

The top two placed ladies will then advance to the Grand Final event that will take place on Tuesday, 17th May.  Each finalist will receive a small Ping gift and there will also be individual Ping prizes and trophies for 1st,  2nd and 3rd place.  The winner will receive prizes to the approximate retail value of €400,  2nd placed player to the value of  €300 and 3rd placed player €150.  Good luck to everyone!

Our next big event will be our  CHARITY DAY  on May 14th.  The chosen charity this year is the long established and well loved  “IRISH GUIDE DOGS FOR THE BLIND”.  Please do you best to take part and support on the day.  If you can gain sponsorship or donate a prize for the raffle it would be greatly appreciated.

The new handicap system is now in place and I’m happy to say,  it is working very well.  We will be reviewing the categories when all our new members have been awarded handicaps. Currently, the categories are as follows:                                                                                                   Category A   0 – 29.4,   Category B   29.5 – 34.4                                                                                                   Category C     34.5 – 36.

Kind regards,

Dolores
