Our Captain's Drive-in took place Sunday 27th March getting the golf season underway. Captain's Adrian Usher, Jill McCormack Junior Ewan McLoughlin were joined by our president Bertie Quirke in front of a large gathering of club members and to see the 2022 season get off to a good start, all drives split the 1st fairway.

The drive-in was followed by a club scramble with winners: 1st Martin Dineen Hazel Thompson Orla Donovan Cora Buckley 2nd James Keane Philip Ryan Claire Ryan PJ Carey 3rd John Hoare Bill Hanley Eamon Ryan Olive Quinlan. Thank you to all who supported the raffle held after our Drive-In for the Red Cross Ukrainian appeal, €1600 was raised.
​
We had a great turnout by members last Friday to do some fairway divot seeding. Members male, female, seniors, juniors, proshop staff and green keeping staff on their day-off turned out, so a big thank you to all from our management committee and greenkeeping staff.
