Our next  outing has now been confirmed for Saturday 26th July at Ryston (Irish Ropes), in Newbridge.

We should arrive at the venue for the usual cup of tea at 10.30, followed by the scramble at 11 a.m.  Lunch will be at 1 p.m. and the competition proper will start at 2 p.m.  After the usual two rounds we'll have our evening meal  - 6 to 6.30 p.m. - and presentation of prizes.  We have already been advised that the venue has been booked by another party for the evening/night, so our best option is to retire back to Celbridge and regroup later in a suitable watering hole - to be agreed.

Our first outing to Athgarvan turned out to be a quite but very enjoyable affair. The numbers in attendance were down due to various members being unavailable through confirmations, illness etc - all unavoidable stuff.
Very well done to Derina Doran on her first place - the first of many!! Runner-up was Marty and they were followed by David Thompson and Don O'Sullivan.
Also worth noting the food in the Athgarvan Inn - we were well looked after.

April 08
There's a six week competition underway at the moment and attendances are fairly reasonable over the past number of Sundays.

Take the M7.  Pass the M9 turnoff, continue on the M7 and take the next exit.  At the roundabout at the top of the ramp take the first turnoff

Talk about getting in under the wire : Seamus just about let us out on the small course for the Christmas outing. The weather had not been great up to the week before the outing with rain and frost nearly scuppering us. 
But all in all we had a smashing day, a lovely meal in Greens upstairs and a very nice few beers in the Speaker's afterwards - All the members and our friends and guests helped make it a truly nice day and night.See Gallery page for photos of the event.

Winner on the day was Don O'Sulivan while the best visitor was our good friend Eamonn mcAuley with a remarkable score over the two rounds.

  Well,well,well - what a time we had at the Captain's Outing in Bagnalstown. The course was in great shape and as tricky as we've seen in many an outing. The hotel was sumptious and a travelling party of around 28 members and friends enjoyed the weekend. Tom Roche did his best to win two outings in a row while Derina Doran played some of her best pitch and putt since joining but Eamonn Lynch was the dark horse on the final day and past the post first to win the prize. Well done Eamonn - great to see you back on form. Congrats to Captain Liz for organising a really enjoyable event.

Our midsummer evening outing to Saggart was on Friday 10th and we had a healthy turn out despite the soft rain. James McCluskey - one of the youngest competitiors in club history at 13 years old - came in with the lowest score and took away with him first prize. A pleasant evening ensued in The Mucky Duck.

July 07
  Poulaphouca outing went very well with Tom Roche claiming top spot. The rain poured during the lunch only which left us with a very pleasant day on the course. We also enjoyed a nice evening in The Cage in O'Connor's in the evening. Unfortunately a number of members couldn't make it on the day mainly due to holidays.See gallery page for photos of the event.

New Rule for Sunday Competitions 2007
Following a motion to the AGM, a new facility has been introduced for this year for Sunday competitions.

This will operate as follows:

In the event of a member not being able to play on a particular Sunday, he/she may contact other club members and arrange a game on any day of the preceeding week. The result of this game must be communicated to a Committee member before close of normal Sunday play in order to qualify for that Sunday's competition. Green Fees for this game (less Elm Hall's fee) should be given to the Treasurer or other Committee member as soon as is practicable, together with completed score cards.

A member who has played during the week may also play on the Sunday if he/she wishes, but the score from the arranged game will be used for the purpose of the Sunday competition.

Every member can avail of this facility up to a maximum of four times in the year.

April 07
  Pat Cummins has joined the committee. 

The six week competition starts April 15th - best 4 cards to count.

First outing is to The Curragh on April 28th and costs 45 euros. Be there at 10.30 a.m.

Date for your diary : Summer outing is to Poulaphouca on July 7th and our midsummer evening out will be to Saggart on August 10th.

Captain's weekend away will be in September - more details soon.
