We have installed a Simbay unit at the driving range on a trial basis, giving members a new way to practise and enjoy their range sessions. Simbay provides instant shot and club data, swing analysis and video, alongside games, challenges and virtual golf courses. Prices €3.50 for 15 minutes €6.00 for 30 minutes €9.00 for 60 minutes Payment is by contactless tap directly at the machine. Getting started You can play as a guest or scan the QR code in the bay to download the app and create an account. If you log in with your account, you can review your session data afterwards through the app. Using the bay The unit operates on a first-come, first-served basis. This bay is reserved for golfers using Simbay. Once your paid session ends, please move to another bay if you have balls left to hit. Useful tip: To return to the main menu, tap the golf ball symbol in the bottom-left corner of the screen. Left-handed golfers The current setup supports right-handed golfers only. The supplier has advised that a left-handed option is planned, allowing both right- and left-handed golfers to use the same unit. We will update members when we have a confirmed timeline. The trial will help us assess demand before deciding whether to make Simbay a permanent fixture. Please give it a go and let us know what you think.

We are very shocked here in the Golf Club at the sudden death of Padraig Glancy Super Value Carrick on Shannon. Padraig was a very kind and generous sponsor of the club for many years. We would like to extend our sympathy to his wife Rosaleen son Eamonn daughter Catherine. His brothers Anthony, Eamonn Jim and Thomas. Sisters in law Catherine and Fiona. Nieces and nephews. May he rest in peace.
