Golden couple Lady Captain Eileen (aka Pussy Galore) and Captain Tom (The names Bond, James Bond) delighted KGC members at the annual Drive-In last Saturday.  Arriving in their Mazda MX5 Convertible Sports car Captain Tom explained “You only live Twice”!  The format for the day were two 9 hole Shotguns (Captain Tom had his Beretta 418) with BBQ’s for each session which worked really well. Naturally there was a glass of wine or a beer but the two Captains chose Martini – shaken, not stirred…  Here’s a selection of the photos from the day, “For Your Eyes Only”, of course!

The Ladies Christmas Lunch held Tuesday 13th December was preceded by a four person Mexican Scramble played in beautiful December sunshine. Following the 9 hole golf competition a lovely meal was provided by Egan Catering and some fantastic entertainment from KGC members. Well over 60 ladies attended and everyone enjoyed the event immensely.  Well done to Lady Captain Eileen and everyone that helped out on the day.

Huge congratulations to team of four Geraldine Coghlan, Anne Hackett, Caroline Hill and Wendy Kearon who won the "SWAGS" Christmas outing in Malahide yesterday. Well done ladies, Kilmashogue is very proud.

Captains Deirdra and Colin were super lucky with their Drive-Out on Saturday.  The incessant rain eased off mid-morning to give the 50 or so players some lovely Autumn sunshine for the 18 hole Champagne Scramble.   The Hoe Down event in the evening was super fun with country and western themed music and some impromptu line dancing.  KGC members responded enthusiastically and checked shirts, jeans, cowboy hats, boots and neckerchiefs were the order of the evening.  The food was lovely and the wine flowed.  Well done to everyone who helped make this final event for outgoing Captains Dee and Colin a wonderful success.

 

Well done to Dan Meaney and Anne Hackett on their Paul Noonan Trophy Win last weekend.

Well done to winners Billy Sheppard and Alison Houston who were the winners of President Dan's Prize.   A great night was had for President Dan's special day.  Great food provided for by Terry & Colin and great entertainment led by the Kilmashogue Ukulele Band whose diligent practice paid off when they wowed the audience with their performance.

Kilmashogue President Dan O'Connor won the South Dublin Metropolitan Captains’ Association 2016 Competition top prize in Edmondstown GC yesterday with a score of 40 pts. Here he receives his trophy from the President of Edmundstown GC. The Kilmashogue team of Dan, Marc Thornton and Tony Bourke came 4th (of 28 clubs) in the team event!

The National Siblings Competition in Kilmashogue GC was a great success yesterday especially as the rain which was forecast failed to appear.  So in a humid, if somewhat blustery day 24 pairs of Brothers, Sisters and Brothers and Sisters played in our 3rd Siblings Competition.  We had a full time sheet with players from 15 clubs.

Thanks to Patricia Grennan O'Byrne for taking the following photographs on Saturday during the Competition (Saturday's) and the evenings celebrations which we hope you enjoy.

The May Bank Holiday competition was very well supported with 13 teams playing on the day.

Remember the drone flyover during our Captains Drive-in last month?  Ian O'Herlihy has put the footage up on Youtube - see it here  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5x6Yrb9ZO_g
