CONDOLENCES

Our condolences are offered to the Cronin family on the sudden passing of Mick Cronin of Knockaderry Kilmeaden.

We offer our heartfelt sympathy to his wife Anne, his son Peter, his daughters Noreen, Mairead and Sinead and his brother Tim, extended family and many friends. Mick will be reposing at his residence on Monday 11th of October from 4pm to 8pm at eircode X91T2F9.  Removal on Tuesday the 12th of October to Faha Church for Mass at 11am. The Goldcoast Golf Club is doing a Guard of Honour for Mick, members are asked to assemble in Gold Coast attire in Faha at 10 30am, past and present Officers are asked to wear their club blazers. May God have mercy on his gentle soul. R.I.P.

PRESIDENTS PRIZE.

Our President Brian Dunbar held his prize last weekend with qualifying on Friday and Saturday last, the format was blue stakes and stableford and some great scoring was brought in on both days. The final took place bright and early on Sunday morning with a shot gun start; the course as always was in perfect condition due to the hard work of Rob and his ground keeping staff.  The scoring was tight once again with some great scores recorded.  Congratulations to the winner Michael Kavanagh on a great score, second was Jack Kiely a name to watch for in the future and third was David O’ Connor (see full list below).

 

The presentation took place in the Gold Coast Hotel where a fantastic meal was laid on, with everyone fed and watered.  We had our presentation of prizes and we must compliment Brian on his array of beautiful crystal.  Our Captain John White got things up and running and he spoke highly of Brian and the way he had fulfilled his role as President over the last two years.  He spoke of his commitment to the club, always there to give a hand whenever needed.  Brian then made his speech which went down well with all in attendance.  He then presented his prize to the ladies, the winner on the day was a very popular lady namely Irene Lynch our excellent Director of Golf.  Brian then presented beautiful flowers to his daughter Labhaoise.   He was joined on the day by his wife Mary to whom the Men’s club presented with flowers and by one of his sons Tomas, his other son Brain is working in faraway Canada.

 

We as a club would like thank Brian for all his hard work over the last two years and hope he gets a chance to enjoy some relaxing golf from now on.

To avoid disqualification you must record your h/cap index, playing h/cap and most importantly the course h/cap, all of these are available on the Golf Ireland app and also on screen when you log in for competitions. It is also important not to enter a zero for stableford competitions as it interferes with standard scratch, if you blank a hole just record the shots as the computer will adjust accordingly. All scores must be recorded by the marker and signed in agreement with the player before being returned no later than 30mins after you finish your round.

 

COVID 19

The guidelines for now are members with no restriction on households permitted per booking for social or club competitions.
