Summer has arrived
The back nine holes opened this weekend and members were delighted to play a straight 18 holes in sunshine and on an excellent course, well prepared by the hard-working course staff. It is also good to report golf buggies are now allowed on to the course, using pathways where available and otherwise, driving on the rough areas only. Summer golf is officially opened and in play. Let us all enjoy a good golfing season.
THE THREE RS
Repair the pitch marks. Replace the divots. Rake the bunkers. This is good golf etiquette, shows respect for fellow golfers and for course staff who have done much work to keep on top of things and certainly should not have to repair the greens, bunkers and grass areas after us golfers.
CAPTAINS' DRIVE-IN
The weekend has at long last arrived to celebrate the Captains Drive-in at Cahir Park Golf Club, at 12 noon on Sunday, May 5th.
All members are invited to play in the 18 Hole 4 Persons Scramble and enjoy refreshments before and after the golf. Contact the ProShop to enter the draw for playing partners.

Thank you to captain Pauline Mulcahy and the Ladies Committee for arranging the event.
