AMBASSADOR VISIT
Goldcoast Golf Club was honoured to welcome Her Excellency Melitta Schubert, Austrian Ambassador to Ireland, for a special visit over the weekend. A keen golfer, Ambassador Schubert enjoyed a round on our beautiful course, joined by Lady Captain Elaine Nash, Captain Brian Dunbar and Director of Golf Irene Lynch. While the final scoreline remained a closely guarded secret, it was clear that all enjoyed a most memorable day.
Ambassador Schubert expressed her delight with the course and was especially impressed with the stunning coastal scenery. She warmly thanked the Club for the kind welcome and expressed her intention to return in the future.
Following the round, the Captains presented Ambassador Schubert with a club memento, which she received with great appreciation.

GOLD COASTERS OUTING TO MOUNT CONGREVE
Some of our ladies made a return visit to Mt. Congreve last week in beautiful sunshine to take in the splendour of the flowering plants, shrubs and trees. They were treated to a variety of Camelias, Azaleas and Magnolias in a stunning array of colours and hues amongst the immense variety of other trees and floral structures!! The variety of photographs taken by the women were spectacular and well done to those behind the cameras, absolutely incredible!!
After their walk and tour of the gardens, they had a fabulous lunch in the beautiful restaurant within the house. It was another great day out with 2 of our newest members on board, thanks a million again to Anne for another memorable day out. Looking forward to the next one already!!
