Details of competitions and reports etc are in the Fixtures Section   Review of the 2011 Season   November 2011   Captain Conor Holmes at Sutton GC with Irelands Eye in the background   We had five outings in 2011 starting in St Annes on April 29 followed by Castleknock in June, Portmarnock Links and Howth in September and finally Sutton in October. The outing in Howth was a 'fun day' with prizes for everyone (a bit like Santa!). The competition format was a three-person scramble and did provide a lot of fun. The winning team consisted of three members of a class of the 1950's from Belvedere College - Billy Morgan, Michael Doody and Matt Murphy! When I look back over the year, I immediately think of the great support that I got from all the members. There was a great sense of enjoyment in participating in the outings irrespective of how well or poorly people played. We were lucky with the weather which was an added bonus. I also think of some of our great supporters over the years that could not play this year but we look forward very much to seeing them back playing in 2012. Lastly, I want to thank our Committee, on behalf of all of us, for their wonderful support throughout the year.

My choice of date was rather unfortunate, as a certain member of the Royal family in the UK had also chosen that date for nuptials. We went ahead notwithstanding and had an excellent outing. In all, we had 29 competitors and 24 stayed on afterwards in St. Anne's for dinner and prize giving.   Conor Holmes   Results & Report in Fixtures section.   How to Join the IEGS   All members and staff of Howth Yacht Club are eligible and welcome to join the Society, whose aims are to promote the game of golf and to foster comradeship and sportsmanship.
