28/6/17 - Teams going well so far...
The Captain, John Hinds would like to draw to your attention the excellent performance of our teams this year. So far, we are are progressing very nicely in The Pierce Purcell Shield, Holt Shield, Irish Mixed Foursomes, Junior Cup, Barton Shield, Junior Cowdy, Ronan Rafferty Trophy and Norman Drew Trophy. The Irish Fourball need to win all 5 matches on Sunday 2nd July to defeat Belvoir (has been done before). The Captain would like to thank all the Team Captains and players & caddies for their commitment to the Club this year. Now that we are in the 'serious end' of these competitions it would be great if all the members can come along and show their support to the various teams...it would be really appreciated. It would be great for some silverware to come home to the Gents section.
You can follow the progress of the teams in these competitions by logging on to www.rockmountgolfclub.com/inter-club-match-dates-info.aspx

24/1/17 - Message to Members
One of the stated priorities of the new Gents Captain John Hinds is to improve and facilitate greater communication between the Gents Committee and the members. The Captain feels strongly that the members should all be aware of who is on the committee, what their role is and that a forum should be provided to ease communication between the two. At the end of the day the Committee are there to serve the interests of all of the members. As a result you will now see that photographs and profiles of Committee members appears on the clubhouse section of the website.
The Captain and Committee are keen to hear from members about any issues or suggestions and to this end anyone wishing to bring any matter to the attention of the committee should do so by emailing the Honorary Secretary Harry Greer at honsec@rockmountgolfclub.com
In addition in the members section of the website there is a new page for Members News Updates 2017. This page will be updated regularly in order to convey messages to the members from the Committee regarding issues of interest such as teams, social events, news from the GUI etc. This will not replace existing communication methods such as the notice boards, screens,Facebook and Twitter but will,hopefully add to them. Any feedback on this initiative would also be appreciated.
