CAPTAINS’ WEEKLY CHECK-IN
Monday 21st June Mid Summers day was a great success. The Tee time from 4pm was fully booked up and the last golfers exited the course at 10pm. Tommy and I were delighted with the large number of members who participated. The marquee was full of buzz and laughter as the golfers enjoyed tea/ coffee and sandwiches when they finished the 12 hole golf competition.
Special thanks to Shona in Rye River for the fabulous sandwiches provided for the refreshments. Members were very impressed with them.
Our next team event will be held on Thursday 8th July. Please note this in your diary and we will have more information next week.
The 8th July is also the evening when we will launch, on behalf of the club, Kilcock Golf Club’s 2021 FUNDRAISER, the sale of Two Ball Green Fees. Proceeds from the fundraiser will be used to fund the full sanding of the course in October and also to assist with funding the new sewerage system for the club.

A reminder to all our members that our Mid Summer Madness is taking place on Monday the 21st June from 4pm. This is a free event and all you need do is put your name down on the BRS sheet and someone will join your team. There are still a few places left, so don’t delay and get your name down and enjoy the fun. We will be providing tea, coffee, sandwiches and something sweet afterwards.
We would like to say thank you to all the inter-club teams that represented the club very successfully last weekend. In round 1 of the Provincial Towns, Kilcock beat Bellewstown 3 at home and 2 away. Round 2 is against Seapoint with 4 matches at home and 3 away. In the Fred Perry Cup (Seniors) Kilcock lost 3 1/2 to 1 1/2 to Westmanstown. In the Challenge Cup, Kilcock defeated Ashbourne to move on to round 2 against Royal Tara. Thank you to team Managers Noel Cosgrove (Provincial Towns), Seamus Fennessy (Fred Perry) and Marie Houlihan (Challenge Cup) for all their hard work.
Best wishes to the teams who are competing this weekend, we will be supporting you.
“The club’s 2021 club fundraiser will begin on 7 July and proceeds will go to fund the sanding of the course in October and also towards meeting the cost of upgrading the club’s sewerage system”. More details regarding this to follow.

We recently added two beautiful flower box units to the entrance of the club which can be seen below, we think they brighten up the entrance nicely and we hope to add two more soon.

As Captains, we had a busy week since our last update in the club newsletter. Sunday and Monday evenings were devoted to meeting and greeting recent new members. The new members were taken out for 9 holes of golf by existing club members, including 2017 Lady Captain Frances Fagan and 2020 men’s Captain David Bohan.
Refreshments were served to the new members, and all seemed very pleased with the warm welcome and their experience to date in the club. Both evenings were a great success. The new members were happy to pose for the Liffey Champion photographer whom we asked to be on hand to record the occasion. These photos and write up we prepared for publication in the newspaper will hopefully help to promote Kilcock as an attractive and welcoming golf club.
Golf in the club on mid-summer’s day- Monday, 21st June – will be a 4-person team and no entry fee. The timesheet for this event opens on 10th June and full details will be in next week’s newsletter.
