Gold Coast Golf Club Notes 1st January 2018:
Happy New Year
Before we start the New Year we should reflect very briefly on 2017. It was a good year for the Gold Coast with a slight increase in membership and our teams performing well in GUI competitions. Our Officers and Committee did a good job looking after things for the year and we are grateful for all the help and dedication shown by our members during the past twelve months. Once again you showed how generous you are when contributing to the Lions Christmas Appeal for whom €3120 was raised.
On behalf of the Captain, President and Management here in the Gold Coast we extend warm wishes to all our Members and Friends for the coming year. We wish all health and happiness for the New Year and we hope it brings you all you wish for in 2018.
Annual Mass for Deceased Members:
Our Annual Mass will take place in the Gold Coast Golf Hotel on Friday 19th January. Time will be confirmed next week.

While most of the players involved have plenty of games played there are a few players struggling to get their rounds in and this could affect the overall performance of their team.
