SPRING LEAGUE - Our revamped Spring League has generated great interest with an increased number of entries compared to previous years. Teams of 2 play a different format each of the 3 weeks- Scramble, Shambles, Betterball.

The club is always keen to get new names among the prizewinners and especially those of players who are relatively new to the game, thus it was great to see Bernie Kemple and Mary Queenan top of the league after round 1. In second place are another ladies team Liz Dwyer and Moira Egan, with Lochlainn Conboy and Michael McHale the highest placed Mens' team in 3rd place overall. Results of round 2 will be published during the week.

CHANGES TO MONTHLY DRAW - The format of the Club Draw is changing to a  50/50 draw with the next one to be held on the Friday of Open Week (July) - so current direct debit subscribers will get 6 entries in that draw (Feb- July subs).

CLUB DRAW APPEAL - Our monthly club draw has been an important source of funding on a monthly basis for the club, and has been very capably managed by Liam Mullaney in recent years. However, the numbers of subscribers in the draw has declined considerably. We may have to stop the draw in early 2023 if we do not get some new subscribers, which would be a financial loss to the club. Please consider signing up if you have not done so already, either for monthly debit of 10 euro or a single annual debit for 120. We understand this will not be within everyone's means, so if you want to take part on an occasional basis, there are envelopes in the foyer of the clubhouse for cash payments. The bank account number for debits is IBAN : IE59  BOFI 905328 22439700.
