The 2012 diaries have arrived and are available at the Pro shop. Members should read the diary carefully to familiarise themselves with the various competition rules and dates for major events. The golfing year commences in early March with the Captains’ Drive in on Saturday March 10th.

The Captain will officially receive 300 young trees from Green Belt on Monday. The trees have been donated to the club by Shane McEntee, Minister for Agriculture in association with Green Belt. The trees will be placed by Ronan Carey and his team in a nursery area to be planted out on the course over the coming years. Each member will be assigned a tree for planting on the course when appropriate. Members will be asked to make a donation to benefit a local charity and the tree planting will reduce the carbon footprint of the members. Thanks to Green Belt for its generosity and to Minister McEntee for facilitating the donation of the trees.

Members will notice a new pop-up on the home page of the website. These pop-ups will change each month in advance of the various sponsored open competitions. They are designed to give some extra exposure to our generous sponsors.

President, Liam has been busy working on our inter club teams for 2012. Kevin Raftery, John Tobin, Brian Lawless and Gerry Ryan will lead the various teams. Watch notice boards for details of the competitions and if eligible to play.
