January 2024 Web Notes

21 Feb

Thanks were expressed to the previous Women’s Golf Committee and their respective sub-committees for their hard work and dedication to our section over several years and for their assistance in their handover of tasks and paperwork. We are extremely grateful these members are offering their support and time to assist with this change of all committee roles, especially whilst we wait in hope that some of the members will soon volunteer to assist on the Competitions sub-committee.

Paula Johnston was co-opted onto the Committee in the role of Vice Captain.

Caitriona Fogarty was co-opted onto the Committee in the role of Course subcommittee liaison.

Both Paula and Caitriona were welcomed as valuable committee members.

President Ilona will continue to meet all new women members and hand out the Welcome Pack which will be updated with the 2024 committee details when the official photos are available.

Arrangements were agreed for the Key Competition dates for 2024 to be distributed via WhatsApp and posters designed and printed for display in the Locker Room.

The 9-hole Spring League was discussed at length to try a new way of running this competition to cut down on administration time for a small committee. This Spring League will commence on Wednesday 17th January with details being sent via WhatsApp and displayed in the Locker room over the preceding weekend.

The medal prize was discussed and will be investigated further and when full details are finalised a response will be sent to the member who raised the query.
