Update 19th January

Mother Nature has remained against us in recent times with no on course action to report. Realistically, it may be another two weeks at least before the course is fit for play. 

Letters regarding membership subscriptions for the year will be issued via post or email in the coming week. The club encourages members to submit their fees as early as possible although we realise it can be a busy time of year financially for people. To aid with this there are flexible payment plans in place to ease any strain. Contact Michael at info@boylegolfclub.com for more details.

An application has been submitted to the CGI, the national body responsible for promoting golf participation, in relation to assistance in holding a Get into Golf Programme for 2016. This includes a 5 week school’s programme and also golf classes for adults. Subject to its acceptance, we will be seeking a number of members to help in various ways.

The club wishes to extend its sympathies to the Lavin families on the recent passing of Florence. Ar dheis dé go raibh a hanam.

Update 28th December

Yesterday’s Christmas Scramble was postponed due to a waterlogged course. It has been provisionally rescheduled for New Year’s Day if the conditions allow. The times remain the same: draw at 12.30pm & tee off 1pm

The levels of precipitation experienced during the past month has made it very difficult to fulfil all competitions on the fixture calendar. However, it is hoped that a regular schedule will be resumed in early January. This includes a nine hole stableford set to be held next Sunday, January 3rd.

Finally, may all members, visitors & friends of the club have a happy and peaceful new year.
