CARE FOR THE GREENS
To keep our greens in excellent condition we wish to make golfers mindful to please repair all pitch marks. Captains John and Anne issued an appeal this week via WhatsApp relating to this issue. If you have time, please refer to the video included in the message which shows the correct method for repairing a pitch mark. At this time of the year players should check for pitch marks regardless of how lightly your ball has landed on the green.
Also, golfers please check if you are leaving excessive footprints on the greens. If so, please refrain from wearing types of golf shoes that leave big indentations as it’s unfair on golfers playing after you. Thank you for your cooperation.

FIXTURES
10 Hole on-going Competition
10 Hole Ladies W/league
18 Hole Men’s W/League
Team Results after Round 11
Liffey 678, Suir 629, Lee 610, Nore 559, Barrow 541, Corrib 432,
Blackwater 424, Shannon 404
Round 11 of the league has now been compiled and as per results above, there has been no great shake-up in the results as some players have already eliminated their worst scores.
The Liffey have retained first position with the Suir and the Lee in second and third position, there is still time to get your team in contention!!
As we are in the second half of the leagues we would ask all participants to support their teams by putting in their scores whether good or bad as low scores can be eliminated after 10 rounds. At this stage, some teams are putting in a supreme effort with some ladies having completed up to 15 rounds to date, this shows commitment to their teams and the concept of the winter league, well done ladies!!!
Senior Alliance/ Coastal alliance
The above Alliance games which were scheduled to be played in the Gold Coast before Christmas were cancelled due to inclement weather conditions will be re-scheduled in the New Year, dates to be advised.
Birthday Wishes
We would like to extend our very best wishes to DD who celebrated a very notable birthday during the week. DD has
been a wonderful member of the club from the day she joined, having held the position of captain, president and represented the club on many levels throughout her tenure. She is still a very active member and plays many days every week, going out in all weathers putting some of our younger members to shame!!
So, DD on this very special occasion, we wish you health and happiness for many years to come and celebrate in style, you deserve it!!!
