Spring Leagues
With the Birr Credit Union Spring Leagues ready to roll, golfers realise that the season is up and running. The ladies with fifteen teams are about to start. The men’s sheets are in the locker room with the competition draw to be made on Sun. 27 Jan. The Men’s League will be run using the same format as last year with three weeks to complete the first three rounds and the same period for the last three rounds and the final is fixed for Sun. 6 April. Please get your name on the sheet and enjoy some very exciting golf.
Seniors
The Thursday Seniors are looking for new members. John Gilmartin will gladly accommodate over fifty-fives with or without golfing expertise. Arrive before 10.30 on Thurs. mornings and you will be assured of a pleasant round with jovial veteran golfers.
Subscriptions
Annual subscriptions are now due. Joan Grimes in the office will gladly accept same. (Mon. to Sat. 9.00 to 1.00).
Notices
Placing on fairways and first cut (semi). No relief in the rough.
The Club has received the 2008-2011 Rules of Golf and the Rules of Amateur Status. Copies are available in the locker room.
The Club regrets that due to course development the Senior Scratch Cup will not be run this year.
It is hoped to commence a texting service in the Club this year. Application forms for names and mobile phone numbers were sent out with the annual subscription bill. It is hoped that this service will be used to inform members of ongoing events and for the promotion of the Club.
The Club will always welcome sponsors. Please contact Francie (057 9120082) if you would like to sponsor some event.
