CHRISTMAS GREETINGS

As Captains of the Club, we would like to wish all the members, the Goldcoast team, friends and all who helped in every way to make 2022 the wonderful year that it was for the club although saddened by the sad loss of our founder.

We wish you all the best in 2023 for you and your families and look forward with crossing paths with you on the fairways in 2023

LIONS CLUB CHRISTMAS APPEAL 2022

Our Dungarvan Lions Club Appeal draw and presentation of monies took place yesterday morning in the kiosk.  Joining us on the morning was Ger O’Donovan President of Dungarvan Lions Club who spoke of the work they carry out every year to help the needy.  He thanked the Goldcoast Golf Club for their contribution each year.  Over the last 27 years it’s worth noting that in that 27 years the Management and members have given 50,000 euros to the cause which is some achievement, well done to all involved.

Our Captain Michael Wall then presented the cheque for this year, a total of €2,700.  He thanked our sponsors, members and management for all their support. He was joined by Lady Captain Rosie Murphy and President Rafael Alvarez, John Coade Lions club, photographer Liam O’ Suipel and committee members.

Thank you to our wonderful members of the club for their huge generosity and continued support of this worthy cause.
