All news to do with Ladies Club
It’s been another busy month with Interclub Competitions well underway, the opening of the Short Game Area, the launch of the weekly ‘9 & Dine’ Mixed Scotch Foursomes and more!
Unfortunately due to inclement weather, the official opening of the short game area had to be cancelled. It is now open for practice and is already widely in use. The idea of a short game area was first mooted 10 years ago. Thanks to all those who supported and helped this become a reality, in particular, Stan Pyke and Kingsley Lewis.
50 years ago Jimmy Kinsella on April 22nd 1972 became the first Irishman to win a European Tour Event. Check out the exclusive podcast with Jimmy from Skerries GC Pro shop
This years Club Corporate Golf Day is on Friday 27th May 2022. We are very fortunate to have Frank Keane Motors sponsor this event this year.
Please support the club and invite your friends and business partners to our event.
More details of the event will follow shortly.
