WINTER LEAGUE

A subcommittee, consisting of Martin Morris, Michael Wall and Johnny Hughes was assigned the task of organising the Winter League. The league section will run from Saturday October 26th, 2024, to Friday 14th February 2025. The entry cost will be €25. The Matchplay format will stay the same, in other words there will be no categorisation of handicaps when the team captains are preparing their lineup. It was recommended to the subcommittee that they ask the team captains to bring another team representative with them to the meeting of subcommittee and team captains. Team captains would be asked to stress to all their team members the importance of playing at least the minimum of 10 rounds for their team. A meeting of team Captains and their Vice Captains will take place next week.
