Letter to new members re Tuesday evening team competition

Dear Member

I am writing to you as someone who joined the Club in the last three years.

As the evenings lengthen, every year the Club runs a nine hole open draw mixed team competition on Tuesday evenings. All you have to do to enter is turn up and give your name and a fiver to the pro shop on the night. Names are then drawn from a hat and the competition is a shotgun start.

This is an excellent opportunity for you to broaden the number of members you know in the Club and play with people of mixed abilities. The competition is a fun one, so don’t worry about your level of skill.

Normally, the competitions start on the first Tuesday in May and for the first few weeks are usually at 6.30pm moving back to 7pm as the evenings get even longer. Turn up a few minutes early as the draw is made sharp. Keep an eye on the Club’s website www.coollattingolfclub.com for more details.

So – dates for your diary:

• Every Tuesday from 6th May
• Open draw team competition over 9 holes
• Shotgun start at 6.30pm initially, then later 7pm.

Watch the website and the noticeboard. Come along and get to know people.


Best regards

Billy Stamp
Honorary Secretary

Club Telephone System

Because of a lightning strike on the Clubhouse on Monday 14th April, the telephone system - to use a technical phrase - was fried. Despite the best efforts Eircom and Eircom Business Systems there was a service outage until Thursday 17th April.  A mobile phone was put in the Clubhouse as an emergency measure and the number was posted on the noticeboard and on this website. Thankfully, the phone system is operational again and the mobile number is no longer in use. Apologies to all members for the service outage.
