County Sligo Golf Club Breaking Points 06/01/2020
A New Year's Message from Captain John A Happy New Year to all Members and Readers. New Year's Day 2020 was the beginning of a new decade and a new year and a fantastic turn out for the Captains Drive In. Many thanks for all your good wishes and a special thanks to the Male Voice Choir for the entertainment and to President Tom for his support on the day. It was a pleasure to also present Junior Boy's Captain, Niall Mc Dermott, with his Captain's jumper and I wish him the best of luck in his year. During 2020 over 100 men's competitions will be played - weekly events ; cup competitions : matchplays and the Winter League. This year's final of the Wehrly Bros. Winter League is scheduled for Sunday 29th March. A date for the diary!. The fixture dates for 2020 will be posted shortly on the Club website. The West of Ireland Championship is returning to the traditional Easter date -10th to 14th April 2020 and the Club's annual Open Week will be held on 1st to 9th August. As mentioned by me on New Year's Day, I am heartened to hear the many compliments about the high standard and presentation of our Course. Our course manager Mark Millar's regular blogs are a useful way of keeping up to date with progress on the Course and I encourage members to follow his links updates. I am looking forward to meeting you all throughout the year and welcoming new members and visitors to the club. Enjoy your Golf in 2020. John Mc Hugh Captain
Words from Lady Captain Edel
• Being Lady Captain of this great Club is an honour and a privilege as we enter our 126
year. I am indeed well aware of the high standard that the office holds. I will endeavour
to take the baton and continue to represent Co Sligo Golf Club and the ladies Club in
the highest regard. I only hope that I can live up to expectations and continue to do
the task well.
• I have the assistance of a great ladies committee and different sub committees to
ensure the smooth running of the ladies’ club. The continued support is much
appreciated.
• My vision for the year 2020 is to ensure an environment which supports all lady members
to maximise the benefits of club membership. Facilities, social aspect and the game no
matter what level they play to.
• The splendour of our course speaks for itself. Last year after hosting the Irish Amateur
Open and the Ladies Home Internationals the accolades received from the various
organising committees, players and visitors were extremely complimentary to our Head
Green Keeper Mark and his team, catering/bar staff and our General Manager David
and his admin team. Members can all be proud.
• I wish all our Ladies teams Junior and senior every success in 2020 and encourage
members to support them.
• I look forward to working with Management council and various other committees
during the year and extend my thanks for their dedication and time to the club.
• Finally, I thank you the members for your support and good wishes for my year.
• I look forward to a good year both on the golf course and socially!
• Wishing you and your families a very happy New Year.
• Lady Captain Edel
Now that the Winter festivities are over and
both our courses are receiving final touches it is
time for us all to plan for a great year of golf.
We are blessed to have in our club one of the
best links available anywhere and we should
appreciate our heritage.
Have a great 2020 , may your swing be
consistently good and may all your putts drop.
I look forward to being of service to you.
Tom Kenny
President
As we look forward to 2020 and Winter gives way
to Spring, our thoughts, naturally, turn to golf - to
longer drives, crisper irons and straighter
putts. Some of us look forward to reducing our
handicaps or even getting into the winners
enclosure for the first or even the twenty
first time.
I wish success to everyone but on the way be sure
to take time to smell the flowers, to admire our
wonderful panoramic scenery, and especially, to
make lots of new friends.
I wish you all a very Happy New Year.
Una Howley,
Lady President
