Today is the 30th anniversary of the first day of play in the club and we should have been gathered to celebrate this great day. However the COVID-19 crisis has overtaken all the best laid plans and in the context of world events our disappointment is a small matter.
The management committee wish you all good health at this time and hope that today in your own way you can celebrate our clubs birthday. We continue to manage the course and administer the club through these strange times. So much effort had been required to adapt to the current situation not least of all the irony that so much effort is going into having no golf played whilst the course is in fantastic condition and the weather had never been so favourable. Strange times indeed.
We will be in good shape to return to normal business once we get the all clear to do so. We all look forward to meeting up and getting back to the trials and tribulations of our golf game. Please look after each other in the meantime and we will continue to update you as the situation evolves.
President
Bob Campbell

Spring is on the way and its time to tidy things up in preparation for the upcoming season. There are lots of things happening this year and we would like to have our club looking spectacular. With this in mind we are looking for volunteers to help. If you have a few hours to spare, are willing to help and wish to have a great sense of involvement in your club, we would like to hear from you. The tasks in hand are light in nature so yes it’s not just for men, we would like to see the ladies involved too. We are hoping to give attention to the overall appearance such as tidying flower beds, picking up leaves along the driveway, a little bit of painting etc. The list is not exhaustive so if you have any other ideas for improvement please let us know. If you wish to become involved please contact Noel Brennan on 0871202484. Noel will be delighted to hear from you.
This is your chance to give back to our great club.
