Hello and welcome to my new look newsletter, I hope you like the look of it and enjoy the read.

It has been a funny sort of season so far, the weather has been great, the course has been great and before we know it we are into Captains qualifier weekend before we even feel the season has truly got underway. The mild winter has kept golf flowing for the last 12 months and hopefully we are in for a similar time ahead.

The time sheet has really filled up for this weekend and on behalf the shop and members would like to take this opportunity to wish Denis all the best for the next few weeks ahead and enjoy his time in the spotlight as all captains should.

Summer group lessons

Next week we will be working on the short game on in our summer group lesson series and will be concentrating on both bunker play and playing out of the rough. The ladies lessons will be as normal at 11 am on Tuesday and 7pm on Wednesday. Wednesday evening has proved to be very busy over the last few weeks so we will run the lessons on a bit of a drop in, drop out basis.

If you want to come for the full time that is no problem but don’t feel as if you have to. I will be out on the range from 7pm and will be there as long as it takes to see everyone so you can come and go whenever suits from 7pm onwards.

If the weather is as good as it has been there is no where nicer to be so as I said if you want to stay out for a couple of hours that is fine and if you want to come for 10-15 mins, that is fine too.

Junior lessons

Our junior lessons will be as normal on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at the normal times and please book in the shop before coming. We will as per the ladies be up at the top of the range working on short shots next week.

Congratulations Fred Daly team

Finally I would like to congratulate the Fred Daly team on reaching the Leinster final of the plate competition. I will have more details of final and times in next weeks newsletter as it would be great to see this group win the trophy as they have put a huge amount of effort in to their game over the past few months. Keep watching the facebook page for all that is happening in golf at the club.

Do you fancy some FREE balls...

In conjunction with the upcoming competitions, we will be running a promotion each week and they are open to both men and ladies.

If you buy two sleeves of balls and you play to your handicap or better, 36 points+, we will give you the other two sleeves FREE. If you fancy taking this on it is a win-win for the golfers as we are already better value than any other outlet and the chance of getting 50% more FREE has to be appealing…..if you feel your game is on!
