June Events:
15th June- The Time sheet for the first day of the President’s (Mr. Jim Craughwell) Competition on Sunday 20th June can be found under the tab ” The Club”.
10th June- The Time Sheet for the first day of the President’s ( Mr. Jim Craughwell) Competition is now on the Notice Board. Please enter your name as soon as possible.
The Friday 18 will start on Friday 11th June.
Tuesday 1st June- As only exam students are now present, it has been agreed with Clongowes Authorities that any students wishing to play golf will use our Covid Timesheets to select their playing times. This means that from now on, there will be no restricted times for students, but the students will still retain priority on the golf course.
We will try to rearrange the timesheets accordingly, but this will be done on a trial basis and the timesheets will be amended as we go.
For the first weekend in June, we will not have the Friday 18 & the weekend competition will be held on Friday 4th & Sunday 6th June. For the following weekend the Friday 18 will be played on Friday 11th, and the weekend competition (Brian Conville Shield) will be played on Saturday 12th & Sunday 13th June.
Covid Time sheets
If for any reason you cannot play, it is important that you either delete your name, or text Eamonn of your inability to play. As a Club, we are required to maintain accurate records of the players that play each day to comply with the Covid Regulations. Everyone’s co-operation is vital.
21st May 2021- A great big thank you to all those who contributed to the recent charity effort for The Alzheimer Society. We are pleased to say that €2,560 was raised and it is a great tribute to the generosity of the members of Clane Golf Club.
The ladies in the Kildare Branch are very grateful, and express their thanks to all of the members who have supported this very worthy charity.
The Ladies’ Club have also raised €1,000 for Alzheimer Society and well done to them.
11th May 2021- Notice re The Friday 18 and the Weekend competitions for the rest of May: Due to the fact that the course has to be cleared by 12.50 on Saturday due to Students receiving Golf Coaching, only 9 holes can be played on Saturday. This means that the weekend competitions for the following weekends will be played on Friday and Sunday:
Captains Encyclical
Commencement of golf 2021
Fellow golfers,
Its great news that playing is commencing on next Monday 26th April. The course is in great condition thanks to the ongoing work by Clongowes and our volunteer efforts. Well done all.
In order to manage the return to golf in line with the government’s requirements and Golf Ireland’s protocol your committee has decided on the following –
During the first week play will be restricted to 9 holes per person per day in 2 balls (3 balls permitted if from the same household), until we get experience dealing with the demand. This will be reviewed in the following weeks. Casual rounds of golf only are permitted during this initial period until further notice.
Players are required to make a booking on the Booking/Covid sheets posted on the notice board before each round. In addition a second sheet will be posted (Formerly the competition sheet) which must be signed for playing casual golf for each round played if you wish it to be taken into account for handicap purposes.
Please arrive no sooner than 10 minutes before your tee of time. Sign in, play your round and leave in a timely manner. Please do not congregate for chats after your round. Pay attention to orderly car parking.
Players may return completed cards for handicap purposes if they wish (I intend to do so). You must enter your name on separate sheet of your intention of returning a card for handicap purposes.The cards should be placed in the card return box on completion of a round. Members are encouraged to return cards as this is an important part of the clubs finances which are depleted to date. The name of the marker must be recorded on each card. A half card per 9 hole round will suffice.
Handicap indices will be posted on the notice board. Your index, the course handicap and you’re playing handicap (95% of the course handicap) must be recorded on your cards.
Validity of vouchers is extended till end of June and all cards in member’s possession may be used. Fresh cards can be obtained from Centra or the Competition Secretary Seamus Carew.
Updates of the government’s prognosis on playing competitions etc. will be posted on the clubs website, so consult the site regularly.
Remember to pay your annual members subscription before April 30th.

Purchase of ” Lake ” golf balls. I have been contacted by a small business in Limerick that specializes in selling all brands of golf balls, the owner is Fergus Chawke.
I purchased 36 Srixon balls from him, which cost €40 including delivery & they are excellent, like new.
If you check their website www.irelandgolfballs.ie you can see the full range of golf balls available & Fergus is offering a discount of 10% if you use the discount code of “Clane GC” when ordering.
It is an Irish-owned company & worthy of your support if purchasing golf balls. Give them a try!
