CLUBS APPROVE GOLF IRELAND PROPOSAL

After landmark votes at separate meetings held today (Saturday 19th January 2019), the Irish Ladies Golf Union and the Golfing Union of Ireland have formally approved the establishment of Golf Ireland.

The Irish Ladies Golf Union approved a special resolution at their AGM, while simultaneously the Golfing Union of Ireland passed a motion at a Special General Meeting. In the case of the GUI, for the first time in its history postal voting was permitted, and 292 of the Union’s 395 clubs availed of this facility. A further 34 clubs attended and voted at the meeting. 269 clubs attended the ILGU AGM to cast their vote.

RESULTS

GUI RESULT 94% in favour of the proposal

ILGU RESULT 100% in favour of the proposal

The result of both votes is the outcome of a three-year process of discussion and consultation between the two Unions, internally with their respective clubs and regional bodies, and externally with key national and international stakeholders.

It will mean the game of golf in Ireland will now, for the first time, have an all-inclusive governing body.

Throughout the consultation period, the benefits of this have been acknowledged in terms of attracting funding and commercial partners, as well as providing a boost for the image of the game. Once established, Clubs will only have to deal with one body when it comes to handicapping, inter-club events, club supports and game development.

2018

Ladies Fingal Seniors

Commiserations o the Fingal Senior Ladies who lost the final to Clontarf GC.

Congratulations to the Ladies Fingal Seniors team who made through to the final by beating Hollystown Ladies 2.5 to 1.5, details of the final to be announced shortly, however Balcarrick will play the winners of Clontarf and Malahide in the final.

Nine-N-Dine Sept 2018

A poor turnout for the last Nine an Dine of 2018 was disappointing for the organisers who wanted to finish the year with a grand finale of an evening.

It was a prefect night for golf, and only for Lady Capt Bridie and her “get into golf group”, it would have been a pretty poor affair. Perhaps 3 fund raiser”s on the trot was asking a bit too much of our CLUB MEMBERS to attend.

However we must be very grateful to the regular CLUB MEMBERS who made the effort over the summer to come out and take part. All in all, a sizable contribution (€1400 +) was made for the season by the 9 and Diners.

Fingal Seniors
The latest match in the mens Fingal series was a disaster for Balcarrick losing all 6 matches and this effectively ends our chances of qualifying for the playoffs, Westmanstown took no prisoners as they won most matches on the 18th, however, they were worthy winners.

The mens Fingal Seniors had a narrow defeat against the Island losing all 3 matches away but won 2 1/2 at home leaving them with 18pts after 3 matches. The next match is on the 18th June versus Westmanstown.

The ladies team also played in Fingal seniors and had a drawn match with Skerries leaving them with 16pts after 3 matches.
