Suzie Walker had a wonderful win for Carrickmines at the Southside Lady Captains Day in Elm Park on 28 April.  Her 39 points won her not just the main prize and Longest Drive but also Golfer of the Year.  This is a fantastic achievement as she was competing against high quality golfers from 16 other clubs.

Other Carrickmines members of this Society are Kerrie Judge, Mya Adams, Joanne Hare, Hilary Gale, Louise Rice and Juliet Overend.

The Southside Society has been going for nearly 50 years and includes members, who have handicap indexes between 9.5 and 18.4, from 16 South Dublin Clubs. The Society is active from September to April and visits a different Dublin club every 3 – 4 weeks during the winter months. There are 120 members and approx. 90 players attend each outing.

 

Congratulations to our Christmas Hamper Winner – Maureen Boyd.  Maureen takes away a fantastic hamper worth over € 300 stuffed full of Club apparel and treats.

The annual match between Carrickmines & DUGS (Dublin University Golf Society) first took place in 1946, with the trophy being presented for the first time in 1959.

Carrickmines were the winners this year on what was a vey enjoyable day for all involved – we look forward to welcoming the DUGS back to us next year.

There was wonderful golf to be seen and great fun was had by all on the Junior Finals day held on Sunday 25th August.  We had a fantastic turnout of both players and parents.  Congratulations to all the participants and the winners of our various trophies.
