year 2013 and a new dawn

Saturday  March 23rd kicks off a new season  with a new Captain in Corballis links club in Donabate.As i write here on march the 19th the weather is cold and snowing in some parts of ireland  and  the outlook is not good for  sat 23rd.
If it does not  put a stop to opening day our new captain Vincent Kelly  will be first to hit a ball and start what promises to be a great year.The big Cavan man who is a legend in cavan who played gaa football for his beloved county is fast becoming a legend in business  and  who knows maybe politics and is a great fundraiser for charities but he has a hard act to follow in the shoes of the other big man  Captain Joe Manning who was a great Captain in 2012.
             GOOD LUCK VINCENT.

Captains Day august 29th 2008

Royal Tara is the venue for this year and a big turnout is expected, so get your names on the board early.karl Gibbons will have the honour of the first drive and begin what should be an excellent day at the holy ground in royal tara. We were very lucky with the weather so far this year in the golf outings and hopefully the sun will shine on us on the 29th.
Best of luck to karl on his big day and to all the members that attend on the day.
Go and have a look at the course on the web and plan your tactics for the day on this splendid course.

ARKLOW GOLF CLUB

CAPTAINS DAY WAS IN ARKLOW GOLF LINKS AND NOT IN WOODEN BRIDGE
AS THE WEATHER WAS THE MAIN FACTOR FOR THE SWITCH TO ARKLOW
THE CAPTAIN ( PAUL GILMORE) MADE A FEW PHONE CALLS ON A VERY WET
FRIDAY MORNING AND CAME UP WITH ARKLOW GOLF CLUB.
TO HIS CREDIT HE PICKED A JEM OF A COURSE AND ALL WHO ATTENDED
HAD A GREAT DAY. PAUL ORGANISED A GREAT DAY AND GREAT EVENING

BUT HE COULD NOT BRING VICTORY TO IRELAND WHO WERE WELL BEATEN BY THE FRENCH AND ON THE BUS HOME HE WAS HIS USUAL
SELF RENDERING MANY SONGS ALONG WITH MOST OF THE LADS WHO WERE IN GREAT VOICE.
CONGRATS TO NOEL MORRISSEY WHO WON THE OVERALL PRIZE.
