Capt. Maura's Report from our Lucan GC outing, March 9th 2026.

28 golfers on the timesheet to play... all enthusiastic for 1st outing of 2026.... cool morning.... but happily promising to be mostly dry. 

Disappointing though, that there was no room in which to do the 'book' and no tea/coffee facility on arrival. 

Warm welcome, however, from the young man in the proshop.

But Donald, as usual, had all the 'book' well under control, exact €30 a head and the €2 appreciated. 

Course was in good condition, enjoyable game (for some, the 1st 18 holes of the year). 

There was dismay, also, on finishing the round, to find that there was no food available. It seems that catering staff were not advised to expect us. 

As a result, when Mary had calculated the results and Maura had presented the prizes, golfers headed home, quite disappointed. Pat (a Lucan GC member) was very apologetic on his own behalf and on behalf of Lucan GC, and also supported by Don, urging Maura to send a written complaint.  

There were some great scores brought in by some members, but, in general, they were average.

Best wishes to Pat, who has now recovered, but became ill en route and had to turn back home. We welcomed 2 new members, Eithne and Martin McIvor, who were among the winners on their first outing.... well done.
