We welcome our new Captain Gerry Perry who will announce shortly the date of his Captains drive in at the club.

I would like to mention a special thanks to the dedicated committee who are doing all the leg work to ensure that you have a club that is organised and running smoothly. Next week we will meet to arrange the program of golf events at the club for the season and the Inter club competitions that we will entering.

This year promises to be exciting as the course owners are continuing to invest and development in the course and facilities at the club. I would like to congratulate them on the vast improvements that we have seen at the club to date. Our yearly golf subscription of € 575.00 is very attractive and hopefully we will retain all members and encourage new members, ladies and Juveniles to join our club.

I am truly honoured to be President of our club this year and will assist our captain in any way possible to ensure everyone has an enjoyable experience playing their round of golf and leaving whatever woes outside the gate !.

To me, as a member since the 90’s, the Butter Mountain Golf & Leisure club is not just a place to play golf. It has a remarkable uniqueness, where I continue to make friends and have met many good friends that has extended beyond golf and continue to meet wonderful people. All I have to do now is learn how to play better golf.

Someone once said to me, Golf is a compromise between what your ego wants you to do, what experience tells you to do, and what your nerves will let you do.

Enjoy your club this year and all it has to offer.

Yours

President

As Captain, I am supported by the Men’s Committee and the Course Owners/ Management, without whose dedication and commitment, the Club would not function.

I would like to express my deep appreciation and thanks to all our volunteers who give their time and energy for the benefit of Butter Mountain Golf Club.

Our Course is an excellent course, in great condition thanks to the professionalism and hard work of our Course  and Greens keeping staff. All members and visitors have a prime role to play in ensuring that our course remains in pristine condition. We need every player to ensure that divots are replaced or filled, bunkers are raked after use and pitch marks are repaired on the greens. Please leave our course in the condition that you would expect to find it!

These are exciting times to be a member of Butter Mountain Golf Club as the membership continues to rise and word gets around about this lovely environment and the on-going course improvements. A Keen focus of mine is communication and I want to ensure that all members are made feel very welcome and fully aware of upcoming events, matches and general club news of interest.

I am looking forward to a great golfing year and ensuring that the highest standards of etiquette and behaviour on and off the course are maintained.

I will endeavour to represent Butter Mountain Golf Club to the best of my ability and would very much appreciate your support.

I wish all our members a great golfing year and the health to enjoy it.

David O’ Driscoll
