AGMs – The dates for the various AGMs have now been set. First up is the Men’s AGM on 10/11, the Ladies AGM is the following week of 17/11 with the overall Club “Management” AGM on 8/12. All the AGM take place in the clubhouse at 5 pm on the relevant Sunday. Please have any motions posted on the board or submitted to the relevant secretary at least 7 days prior to an AGM. If anyone is interested in serving on the committees for next year, please get in touch with any committee member.
GOLFER OF THE YEAR – Lochlann Conboy received his Golfer of the Year Trophy in a presentation at the clubhouse. He paid tribute to the many volunteers who have the club in good shape at present and singled out Men’s Captain Mark Whelan for his particular efforts this year.
KING HARMON – Keith Dowling won a very tightly contested King Harmon Final against Liam Whyte this week. The 2 men could not be separated after 18 holes and so the match went to the always nerve-wracking “sudden death” playoff. They proceeded to tie the 19th and 20th holes before Keith emerged victorious on their 21st hole. He received the King Harmon Cup at a presentation in the clubhouse on Sunday evening. Keith paid tribute in particular to his opponent in the final Liam Whyte.
