Dear Fellow Members,
We would like to extend a warm welcome to all our members to the
2018 Season of Golf.
We are honoured to represent and serve you as President, Captain & Lady
Captain as we embark on a new year filled with great golf and great
friendships. We intend to continue the good work of previous officers of our
club and promote Bearna Golf Club whenever possible and would urge you to
do likewise. A priority for all of us this year will be to retain existing members,
attract new ones and encourage visitors to play on our course.
Our Men’s & Ladies’ Committees are committed to ensuring the smooth
running of our club and your continued support to them is greatly appreciated.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to our sponsors for their
continued support, and would encourage you to support them whenever
possible.
We are blessed with a wonderful location for playing golf and the ever
improving condition of our course. The dedication and hard work from both
management and course staff has been evident in recent times, with many
improvements both on and off the course and there’s a lot more planned for the
coming year.
A full calendar of events is scheduled for the year ahead and we would urge
you to participate in as many competitive and social events as possible. We
look forward to meeting you both on and off the fairways during 2018.
Yours faithfully,
Liam O’ Donovan Tommy Flaherty Michelle Keenan
