Welcome letter from Captain Willie Weir

Friday, 24 October 2008

Dear Member,

The officers and committee have now finalised our golf society schedule for 2009.

Outlined below is our golf programme and green fee cost for 2009.

Following the adoption of a motion at our 2007 AGM to offer more golf outings on a Saturday, we are now implementing this adopted proposal and accordingly four of our outings will be held on a Saturday. We trust this will facilitate members who are unable to play on weekdays.

The cost of Saturday green fee rates are more expensive than weekdays and without wishing to impose higher green-fee charges on our members the committee have decided to subsidise green-fee rates for 2009.

We will continue to monitor green-fee costs and be assured that we will endeavour at all times to do our upmost to minimise green-fee charges to our members.

Our successful 2008 sponsorship promotion will be pursued with vigour in 2009. In this regard we encourage our members to support us in whatever way they can. Successful sponsorship outcomes will assist us in operating our golf society in a more efficient and effective manner.

In conclusion on behalf of the officers/committee and society members we take this opportunity of congratulating Maurice Conway on his election as Gents Captain of East Cork Golf Club. We also congratulate Maria Carroll on her election as Lady Captain as Glengarriff Golf Club. The very best to you both during your term of office.

Yours in sport,

Willie Weir

New blog up and running

At its committee meeting today the UCC Staff Golf Society decided to implement a web forum to allow members easy access to information and updates about club activities. This blog is the start of that forum. Society members should check back here regularly to receive news about upcoming events, recent outings, prizewinners etc...

It is hoped that the members will become active in contributing comments for the blog. To ensure you receive notice of updates please subscribe to this blog.
