Good evening
By now I hope you have scanned the fixture list for next year. Variety is the spice of life and hopefully these venues will help to boost an interest in golf within your school.
Many thanks to all of those golf managers and club professionals who have assisted me in generating the dates.
For the newbies, please make contact with the other teachers in your group before each match which will ensure that the games get played and in the right spirit. This league is all about hit, walk and talk.
I would prefer that the matches are two ball singles and in a match play format. There will be no tie holes. In the event of a drawn match it will be decided via holes up.
So please accurately record the score of the game and return to me. The two ball format is quicker and the pupils will get to meet someone new. I have established a nice link with the Irish Open for next year down at the K club in September. I also have a great link with the NI open in Galgorm and Masserene. There is a fantastic opportunity here for all schools.
I plan to have a finals day in late June for the schools that raise the most money for The Newry Hospice and Children’s Kidney Fund NI.
I will send you out some of the tasks I have introduced in my school to help with the fundraising.
So please enjoy your Xmas and stay safe.
