GOLDCOAST GOLF CLUB COMMUNITY CLASSIC 2024
Our Goldcoast Golf Club Community Classic has proven to be a resounding success.
This years event was met with glorious sunshine, showcasing our fabulous golf course and drawing large crowds as enthusiastic golfers took to the course in great spirits.
Our gratitude goes to our generous sponsors, hardworking committees, dedicated staff and others who played a vital role, and whose combined efforts behind the scenes ensured the smooth running of the event from start to finish.
The fantastic turnout all week generated some brilliant scores and we congratulate all the prize winners and beneficiaries of the €1,000 O’Neills sports vouchers. The Raffle still continues, with some great prizes on offer including a fourball in Doonbeg, a Hamper and a Dungarvan Triangle Ticket.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to all the participants who made this event such a memorable one and we look forward to welcoming you back to our Club again.

HOLE IN ONE
Well done to Willie Flavin who had his first hole in one during the week while participating in the Goldcoast Golf Club Community Classic. Willie aced the 4th hole, well done on a unique and wonderful achievement.
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 tonight Monday at 8pm in the hotel Captains will keep the teams updated following the Meeting
CONDOLENCES
The club offer our condolences to John Enright and family on the sad passing of his brother Liam which occurred during the week. May God have mercy on his gentle soul.
