2019-09-06 First Sponsor's Day

Last Friday (6^th September) saw a special event at Kilkeel Golf Club where their many sponsors were treated to a round of golf and meal at the club. Captain Shane Lowey wished to publicly thank the numerous business people and others who generously provide sponsorship to the club with prizes and support each year. In a speech afterwards he outlined the gratefulness of the Council and members to all who were able to attend and hoped that they had an enjoyable day out on the course and afterwards in the clubhouse. He also wished them every success in their businesses and endeavours and hoped that they would continue to support the club in the coming seasons. This was the first Sponsors Day held at the club and hopefully it may become an annual event.

The golf was played in ideal weather conditions and afterwards the Lady Vice-Captain (guest of sponsor John Henning) and winner of the Ladies prize, thanked the Captain for a lovely day and his generosity.

2019-08-03 Msg from Captain re BIG Draw & Fun night - Draw winners

Message from Captain regarding BIG Draw and Fun night Saturday 3rd August 2019.

Just a quick word of thanks to everyone who helped out with the Big Draw last Saturday night at the club. The whole evening was a huge success and once again, I'm 'blown away' by the efforts of everyone (organisers, sellers, buyers etc) who contributed to the occasion. While it is dangerous to mention individuals in what was a real team achievement, special recognition must be given to Daniel, the driving force behind the initiative. Approximately £10k was raised and this will be spent well for everyone’s benefit at the club.
We are also pleased to announce the purchase of two new items of machinery. The greenkeeping staff, Paschal and his volunteers will be able to avail of a new greens iron and bunker raking machine. While the course is currently in tremendous condition (not only acknowledged by members, but also many visitors), there will no doubt be improvements in the future as these machines are put to good use.
It is encouraging to see the Club moving forward and once again I wish to thank you all so much for your continued support

Shane Lowey (Captain, Kilkeel Golf Club 2019)
