The KGC mixed team performed well, given the format for the Cullen Cup is all 5 mixed teams played away – no extra shots given. Our team put up a great fight losing away 1.5 to 3.5 with matches finishing on the 19th and 2 finishing on the 18th . Well done to the team and managers - a great effort for the only interclub match so far this year. Thanks to supporters who made the journey to Wicklow - it was much appreciated.
Great win today for the Ladies Minor Cup team v Tralee in Knightsbrook. Final tomorrow v New Forest. Here are some photos from today
It was close. Very, very close. After losing two matches in KGC the news came through that we had won one in Killiney (Anne Marie & Aidan). One match was still alive in KGC. Marc & Jude were all square in KGC through 16, 17 and 18. Up the 19th and a big crowd is now following.
The Irish Mixed Foursomes team will play Killiney today in KGC & Killiney at 4.00 p.m. We have three pairs in KGC and 2 pairs in Killiney. Please support the team - Marc, Jude, Barbara, Susan, Dan, Tom, Breda, Seamus, Anne Marie & Aidan.
Congratulations to the KGC Minor Team (Emily, Elaine, Deirdra, Marion & Mary) who beat Delgany yesterday in Powerscourt to proceed to round 2. The ladies battled all the way with most of the team of 5 being down early on.
Wow! What a great start to the team golf season. For the first time KGC won 4 out of 5 wins over the last weekend.

A fantastic win today in the Irish Mixed Foursomes. 3 Teams at Home - all won - despite one team being 3 down and going on to win on the 18th. And an amazing win away in Grange- Anne Marie Kerney & Aidan Butler won 6Up on 13th hole.
The junior foursomes team had a superb win today over Powerscourt in Milltown winning all three matches. Well done ladies.
Please support our Irish Mixed Foursomes Team this Friday at 2.30. Three pairs in Kilmashogue and two pairs in Grange.
See below some photos from the Ladies Christmas lunch. As you can see it was a lovely occasion with some great golf followed by lunch. Captain Anne gave all the ladies a beautiful jar of home-made preserves to take home. There was some interesting entertainment including a brilliant sketch by Jennifer Sowman which involved a pant-suit and a wedding but that's all we can say - as they say what goes on in the club-house stays in the club-house! A group of ladies performed a flash-dance to Bee Gee's Staying Alive which they had been practising as a surprise for Captain Anne, who said it was now clear what the ladies had been up to on the Tuesday's in November/December when the course was closed!
Congratulations to Anne Hackett who had a hole in one today on the 5th hole in Kilmashogue. What a way to bounce back from her recent accident!
Following a successful AGM this evening chaired by our outgoing President Geoff Brooks our new Captains Anne and Brendan and President Dodie now take the helm for 2018/2019 and all the members of KGC send them best wishes for a successful and ejoyable year.
