Next up for the society is our annual return to The Royal Dublin Golf Club to compete for Captain Stephen Mooney’s Prize.

The outing is booked for 18 August 2023, with tee times 8.10 to 9.20am, 10.00 to 11.20am & 11.40 to 12.10pm (RD members only). The format will be four-man singles stableford. Members who have played in at least two outings this year are eligible to win the Captain’s prize. New members who joined in 2023 are not eligible to win the Captain’s prize but can of course enter and compete for all other prizes.

Sign-on night is next Thursday 10 August 8.00pm in The Indigo Lounge, Clontarf Castle. The price to society members is €100 (€50 for RD members) which includes entry into the 2’s and a charity donation, green fee and evening meal. This includes the €20 discount for signing by/on 10 Aug. A beautiful menu has been organised and the cost to society members for dinner only will be €35.

The restaurant opens at 10.00am but it’s worth noting there will be a delicious burger waiting for you as you come off the 9th green.

Meeting for drinks with the Captain at 7.00pm and sitting down for dinner at 7.30pm sharp please in the dining room. Jackets are required and strictly no jeans, please. Entertainment is organised upstairs in the Christy O’Connor room for after dinner and hopefully, you’ll all be in good voice for a few songs.
