I hope everyone is joining their golf so far this year and fingers crossed the weather picks up ahead of the weekend.

Drive In

Thank you so much for making my Captain’s Drive In such an enjoyable event. It was great to have a chance to catch up with so many of the society and I enjoyed chatting with the pavilion members over lunch.  I really appreciated your kind words, generosity and support. Although the weather wasn’t particularly warm, I felt we were lucky to have a sunny and dry day in February. I would also like to thank the committee for their work organising the golf, lunch, cake and the score cards.

New Members

I am delighted to welcome our new members to the society. I know everyone will be looking out for new names on the timesheet and will help them integrate into the society.

Notice of Weather Cancellations 

In the event that the course is closed due to bad weather and golf is cancelled, a notice will be posted on the website. The intention is always to update the website as soon as Leopardstown have contacted me. If you have concerns about the weather and there is no word on a cancellation, please contact me or you can ring Leopardstown

Rules Night

The date of the Rules Night has been fixed for the evening of March 29th. The Green Room can accommodate 80 people which means 20 spaces for the Saturday Strollers. Any used seats will be distributed among the other societies.

If we have more than 20 responses, we will use a waiting list to ensure no spaces are unused.

Ahead of the Rules Night, please email me any questions you would like addressed in the session. 

Congratulations

The Golfer of the Month for February was Lorraine Culloty (category B).

I hope everyone is enjoying the first signs of spring and fingers crossed in February we have some great weather for our golf.

Captain’s Drive In

The Captain’s Drive In is on Feb 25th which is a scramble with Siren start, followed by lunch.

There are two sign in sheets on the notice board, one for golf and the other for lunch. If you have not had a chance to sign up yet please do so.

Our pavilion members are very welcome to join the group for lunch and I hope to see you all there.

New Members

There is a lot of interest from potential new members. The committee are currently reviewing the waiting list and available spaces. We will be offering membership during February.

Birdies

January got off to a flying start with three birdie winners. Congratulations to

Rosaleen Clancy

The Golfer of the Month – Category A is Niamh Quinn.

Rule’s Night

It is a number of years since our last rules night and there is some interest in a refresher course. With the other societies that play on a Saturday, we are arranging a rules night in March. This will be an in-person evening in The Green Room in Leopardstown. We will aim to accommodate as many people as possible.

Upcoming Events

On Feb 11th we are playing the back 9. The Signets are having their Captain’s Drive In on that date, so there will be limited access to the The Green Room.

The Spring Lamb competition starts on Feb 18th.
