Congrats to Darragh Boyle and Alan French who have both made it to the Lynch Cup Final (our Gents singles match play competition). it’s nice to see a young lad in the final, and Darragh also of course. [image: image.png]

There were an amazing 78 players in the weekend competition. When you consider we are now in October and it’s the week the greens had a lot of work done to them, that is a great indication of how the club is progressing. The weather was beautiful and the course is in pristine condition. Well done to everyone who has and is contributing.

Our club is definitely moving in the right direction, the whole membership has gotten behind the progress made and has spread the good word to attract new members, societies, green fees sponsors and so on. The club want to acknowledge the huge effort being put in by Hugh Gralton and Phil McWeeney on the clubs 50/50 draw. Here is a list of the last ten fortnightly winners Grace Higgins Dundrum Dublin £625 euro. Philip Lowe Carrick on Shannon £610euro. Pat Scott Attirory Carrick on Shannon £600euro Mary Butler Bank of Ireland Carrick on Shannon £705euro. Leo Mulvey Summerhill Carrick on Shannon £650euro Niall Foley Leitrim Village £600euro. David McDermott Cortober Carrick on Shannon £630euro. Karina Crowe Carrick on Shannon £670euro. Donal Scanlon Athlone £600euro Monica Shannon Jamestown £610euro Congratulations to you all. But from a Carrick on Shannon Golf Club point of view the same amount of money is being generated for the operation and upkeep of our course. If we average this out over a year that’s over €16,000. Hopefully in the future when we have a much higher membership, we won’t need additional fund raising like the 50/50 draw but for the time being it’s very much needed. Please support the 50/50 if you can and thanks again Hugh & Phil for all the hard work. Here is the link to the 50/50 draw if you’d like to join. carrickgolf.ie/club-lotto/
