What a wonderful response from our members who turned up to support our yearly Golf Classic. The time sheet was full on the day and by and large a great day was had by all.
The final figure raised on the day amounted to a whopping €12,600 for the course staff facility.
A big thank you to all our Participants on the day and also to all our Sponsors. 
While all our sponsors are important to us, a special mention to Paul Sullivan (Access Oil), the O’Brien family (O'Brien Landscaping) Dwayne Price (Grant Thornton) & Shay Leatham (Image Vision) for sponsorship above and beyond.
As you all know, the Classic doesn’t just happen, a huge amount of preparation and hard graft goes into making the day succeed.
So, sincere thanks to all who helped make the Classic - a Classic day.
You know who you are!

Congratulations to all the Uden Cup team and Manager who finely brought the cup back to Forrest Little GC. The matches in Deer Park were close initially but the last match started to get away from their opposition around the turn. This freed up the leading groups and led to the first match out winning their match on the 18th green and clinching the cup. The final score finished at 8-2 to Forrest Little with the remaining matches declared a half once Forrest Little clinched the title.
There was great celebrations had at both Deer Park following the match and also back in the clubhouse that evening. Im sure all will echo my congratulations to all involved and thank you for a great Summer of interclub entertainment. It was a great pleasure to report each match win along the way.

Congratulations to all the Fingal Junior Girls team and Manager who finely brought the cup back to Forrest Little GC. The girls played numerous events around the fingal clubs and rose to the top of the standings on the final day held at Forrest Little GC. They played super golf all season long. It is the very first girls team trophy the club has won and hopefully many more for the girls involved. Yet again many congratulations to the team for the fantastic victory this Summer.

The home leg of the Uden Cup final went as well as we could have dreamed with the team winning all 5 matches. This leaves the team requiring a half from any of the 5 matches to be crowned champions. The match takes place in Deer Park on Sunday 4th September at 2pm.
Lets get out and support the team on the day.
 
Best of luck to the team & well done in the home leg.

Ladies Fingal Seniors League 2022
To quote Patricia “Met some lovely ladies, and played some beautiful courses along the way.  We also all played some great golf” – sums up beautifully how the team felt about playing in the Ladies Fingal Seniors this year.  The experience gave us a variety of golf clubs to play, the challenges of competing and an enjoyable atmosphere.  And compete we did as Fidelma said “no bother to us gals”.   It was a very close-run competition and, unfortunately, we didn’t make it to the semi finals ….. this year!!  Thank you to all the ladies who participated – you were absolutely brilliant and a very special “thank you” to Jacinta who managed the teams playing at Forrest Little.  Photos below are of the two teams who played in our last match against Malahide Golf Club.
 

The annual event of the Forrest Little Golf Classic will be taking place on Saturday the 1st October.

This is mainly a fun day in Forrest Little and is a chance to invite friends/relations/guests out to play our lovely golf course – maybe win a prize - and at the same time helping our club raise some funding for upcoming projects.

Together last year, we raised the incredible sum of €17,500 to help purchase a Gator work Buggy for our club. This was a remarkable achievement by our members and we are hoping to achieve a similar amount this year.

In order to continue on from last year, we need your help and support. Some of our members voluntarily contribute a lot of their time to the running and progression of our great club, and some – for various different reasons – can’t. But this a chance for all our members to support the club and contribute to upcoming projects for the improvement of our club and course.

So, firstly, I am simply asking you to participate in the Golf Classic by playing as part of a team or entering in a team for the event. The playing fee is €50 for each individual or €200 for a team of 4.
Secondly, I am asking for sponsorship. There are lots of members in a position to sponsor a hole/tee box for €100, (you may sponsor as many holes/Tee Boxes as you wish) and I would ask them to put their name forward to support our cause. Remember, even if you can’t take part on the day, you can still be kind enough to sponsor us.

Thirdly, as we are holding a raffle, we are looking for prizes. So, if you are able to offer a prize, please contact us and do so.

The Annual Forrest Little Golf Classic will be held on:
Saturday the 1st October 
Tee times are from 7:30 to 15:00
Booking for slots is already available on the BRS and payment can be made on the day of the Classic.

Thank you to Dean Mulligan who was the first member to offer hole sponsorship!

Ladies Fingal Seniors League 2022
We have a great group of ladies representing Forrest Little in the Ladies Fingal Seniors competition since April.  There are two groups playing in a round the robin, scotch foursomes format.  Each club plays 5 other golf clubs – Sutton, Deerpark, Beaverstown Howth and Malahide. The top two Clubs moving into the Semi Final and Final matches played in neutral golf clubs. We are currently sitting in third place. With two matches left to play - Howth on Monday 8^th August and our last match on Monday 22^nd against Malahide - watch this space for an update on how we did.

Well done to the Junior Boys who finished 3rd in the final standings of the League.

Preperations are being made to hold a race night here at the club. Updates to follow when we have dates confirmed

The O'Grady Cup Team play Westmanstown GC today at 4pm. There are 2 matches at home & 3 matches away. This is the semi final stage so lets cheer on the team and lets make it two teams in a final this summer. Best of luck to the team playing today.

The Uden Cup Team recently played their semi final match against Malahide GC last Saturday.
They played 3 matches at home and 2 matches away.
Some matches were very close. We won the second match in Malahide on the 14th. A great win away!
The first match went down the 19th and we unfortunately lost that.
At home the first match went to the 20th and we won.
The second match went down the 19th and the team birdied it to win.
Finally, the third match, after being down most of the match, won on the 18th green. Overall a great performance by all team members and good luck to them in the Final against Deer Park GC.

The date for the final is to be confirmed at this point.
There will be a five matches at home first followed by five matches away in Deer Park the following week. 

We hope that as many members can make it out to support the team.

We will update the membership with the date and time of the matches when it is confirmed.

Ken Kearney recently submitted the suggested Master plan for the golf course and the plan was discussed in the June council meeting. The council voted to undertake initial works on holes 1, 2, 3, 5, 17 & 18. We have reverted back to Ken Kearney who has now gone out to course development companies to tender the works. The companies have a deadline of 5th August to submit their application and quotation for the works involved. This will leave the council to approve the successful applicant at the August council meeting. Updates to follow when I have them.

Junior boys are doing very well in the Fingal Junior League Trophy. They are lying in 4th place after 5 rounds.

 

A great night was had by all at the recent Vice Captains Prize Presentation.
Well done to the winners Maureen Hampson & Jimmy Murphy.

Well done to Adrienne Timmons & Donna Gregan who qualified in Ardee GC to represent FLGC in the All Ireland Final on the 22nd August in Longford GC.

The junior committee would like to thank all the members who contacted them regarding the sponsorship of the Summer Series.
