Goldcoast Golf Club Notes 14th July 2024

JOHN MCGRATH MEMORIAL CLASSIC 2024

We had a great day last Wednesday for our Memorial Classic, in memory of the founder of the Goldcoast Resort John McGrath.  Conditions were pleasant and we had a packed time sheet for the event.  Eager teams lined up before 9 am for the marathon charity golf day. During the two rounds players were well catered for at food stations at the 12th and 1st holes followed by a beautiful meal in the Goldcoast Hotel.  Funds raised go to a very worthy cause, the Palliative Care Unit in Dungarvan Community Hospital and donations are still being received. A full report of prize winners and money raised will be in next weeks notes. Thank you to everyone who made the day possible.

 

HANDICAP REVIEW

A Handicap review is taking place now and will continue for several weeks.

JOHN MCGRATH MEMORIAL

Our memorial classic was a tremendous success with a packed course teeing off at 9am to play 32 holes of golf in different formats. There were food stations in the car park and a BBQ off the 12th fairway keeping us sustained on our way around the course.

Thanks to Bob and his team, the entire day went without a hitch and the weather played a huge part making it enjoyable for everyone!

After an enjoyable dinner, the presentation of prizes took place with some phenomenal scores from the men, well done to all in the winner’s enclosure. The proceeds of the day will go to the Palliative Care Ward in Dungarvan District Hospital and Paula French spoke about how the money will be used and how grateful they are to receive the funds.

Many thanks to all who helped in making the day a success, Bob and his team of Merry Men for organising the golf, to the ladies who catered in the car park, they were kept on their toes making fresh sandwiches, teas/coffees with some beautiful home baked desserts and cakes. To Sinead and Marie on the BBQ who produced delicious burgers and sausages which went down a treat, thank you everyone for all your hard work on the day, it was much appreciated.

A big Thank You to the members who sponsored all the food for the day, to the McGrath family for the beautiful meal it was extremely generous and appreciated.

CARTON CUP

Our Carton cup team under the management of Breda V and Anne will meet Castlecomer on Fri 19th July for the second leg of the tournament.  The ladies are looking forward to the return leg on home soil and we are looking forward to welcoming them to our Club. Congratulations and well done to our girls so far who have played great golf and keeping us in the tournament! Tee times will be posted on WhatsApp and support on the day would be greatly appreciated.

 

INTER CLUB SENIOR FOURSOMES

Our girls met Mallow in the Regional semi-final which was played in Cork GC on Sat 13th July. Our team consisted of Irene/Esther, Aisling/Rosie, Fiona/Karen and subs were Katie/Miriam/Mary C

Our girls put up a tremendous battle against a strong opposition.  All matches were in a strong position with wins and losses, claw backs and all squares throughout. The level of golf played was spectacular and went to the wire with the last match!!

We are now on the map for teams that fight hard and are a force to be reckoned with, to date all our losses went to the last putt on the 18th, 19th, 20th and 21st holes! I think that sums up the calibre of golfers on all our teams to date!!

Congrats and well done to our wonderful team, caddies and managers Bridge and Alice, not forgetting our on-course commentary from our L.Capt. Elaine who has kept us riveted over the last few months with her fantastic updates!

Congratulations to the Mallow girls who went on to beat home side Cork GC and now progress to the All-Ireland stages.

Due to our next Open Team Event on Thursday 18th kindly sponsored by Comserv, we will not be meeting until the 25th when normality resumes.
