Dear Members,
Where has our short but sweet summer gone? Time to get the jackets out once again - Brrrrrr! As you are all aware our course works have commenced this week, looking forward to seeing the end result which promises to be worth the temporary disruption.
This week is International Course Superintendent Appreciation Week. Many thanks to Michael Browne and his team for their tireless work they put into the golf course on our behalf. Those who were fortunate enough to play last Sunday, including 27 PGA Professionals, raved about the condition of the course presented to them. What better way to finish off our playing season!

Our 2023 Pro-Am was once again generously sponsored by Valerie Charlton & Paul Phelan - Many thanks for your support which is greatly appreciated. The club also wish to thank Keith Bardon and Leo Hynes for organising such a wonderful event.
