Goldcoast Golf Club Notes 3rd December 2023

MENS CLUB AGM

Our AGM for 2023 took place last night Sunday 3rd of December attended by a large number of members.  Our outgoing President Rafael got things under way.  Out going Captain Michael gave a wonderful speech on how his year went.  He thanked his fellow committee members and officers and all who helped make his year so special.  He wished the incoming officers all the best for 2024.

 

COMMITTEE 2024

Captain: David (Doc) O’Connor

President: John Hallinan

Vice-Captain: Brian Dunbar

Vice President: Roy Ware

Secretary: Johnny Hughes

Treasurer: Maurice Fennell

Competition Secretary: John White

Handicap Secretary: Martin Morris

PRO: Nicholas Power

Communications Officer: Brian Fahey

Committee: Bob O’Brien, Mark Lenihan, Seamus O’Connell, Frank Mulvihill.

Ex Officio: Micheal Wall

Ex Officio: Rafael Alvarez.

 

At the AGM there was a change to our Constitution i.e. Article 16.4.

16.4 If after making such further enquiries as it considers necessary into the conduct of the Member and hearing such explanation, if any, as he or she may offer, the committee decides that his or her conduct has not been explained or accounted for to its satisfaction but was not such as to warrant the expulsion of the Member, the committee may instead, by simple majority, suspend the Member for a period not exceeding three months.  Should a majority of the committee not be satisfied that the charges of misconduct have been proved, no further action shall be taken.

 

It was proposed to amend this article of the constitution at the AGM 2023 by replacing the phrase “suspend the Member for a period not exceeding three months” with “suspend the Member for a period not exceeding 12 months”.

 

CONGRATULATIONS MARTIN

We send a huge congratulations to our Handicap Secretary Martin Morris who takes up a voluntary role on the Finance Committee of Golf Ireland.  This is a great achievement for a very popular member of the Goldcoast.  I am confident that he will give 100% to his new role as he has done here in the Club for many years. Well done again Martin

Goldcoast Golf Club Notes 26th November 2023

LIONS CLUB CHRISTMAS APPEAL 2023
Our Christmas appeal kicks off next weekend.  We have a beautiful addition to our appeal this year thanks to a very talented young man namely James Lynch who produced some lovely charity Christmas cards.  When I say produced, I mean he did everything himself from start to finish. He took the photo last December of the ninth green covered in frost, designed the cards, arranged printing and packaged them to the high standard that are on display in the kiosk.  We have to remember this young man is a fourth-year secondary student and has a bright future ahead of him.  Well done again James and well done to parents Tom and Irene on all your support to this young man. The cards are now on sale in the golf club priced at €5 for a pack of 3 with all proceeds going to the Lions Club.

The Goldcoast Golf Club are delighted again to be associated with the Lions Club Christmas Appeal and our Lions Club week will run from Mon. 4th December to Sunday 10th December. All members will be encouraged to come along and play and contribute by entering competitions or buying raffle tickets.
