New Times For The Society

Over the last couple of weeks allot of things have been happening with the society, all of which will only add for the coming 2011 season. Firstly we would like to congratulate Michael Kavanagh for winning the player of the year title. All year seemed to dominated by Last years winner Chris Smart and John McNamara, but over the last few weeks and months the little terrier from Waterford put peddle to the metal and decided that he would take charge, winning at Fota and the final at Dundrum.

You may have also noticed that there has been a small change regarding the name of the society... For the last few years we have gone under the name of the Kaddyshack Membership programme . But over the last few weeks Kaddyshack Golf Have decided to relinquish the playing side of there business to concentrate on their membership programme more. Membership to the society will still be available for individuals through kaddyshack, so individuals can still avail of their membership benefits. But as from the end of this member year 31st of January 2011, The Society will be born and working independently from Kaddyshack Golf .

You may take note that due to the fact that we are now working as an independent registered society, that we have now got a new membership price structure for the coming season. Which you can read about on our membership page. Work is also currently underway in acquiring a Captain for 2011 and this person will soon be announced with their Vice Captain.

Events
For the new 2011 season, we will be still continuing with the Player of The Year challenge. This will still consist of 4 qualifying events, and a final at the end of year. But The final will only consist of 16 qualifiers. At a recent event it was proposed by members to try and play in the opens that clubs provide throughout the year. It was agreed that a complete list would be obtained and made available to members, so that they can decided if they would like to play in them. It was also agreed that 4 of these events per year would also act as society events. So if we had 12 or more players interested in playing in these opens.... then we would run our event along side the clubs open. Now, the prize giving wouldn't be held on that day but we would hold this at one of our own events at the end of the year.

The society has also undertaken with a new website which you are now seeing... All information relating to the society will be available on this site. But if you require more information, then you can contact us by either emailing at The Society or by calling Adrian on 087 9049433

In the not to distant future you will also be able to log on to our own facebook and twitter page, so you can keep up with the news that way....
