UNION ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
At the 112th annual general meeting of the Irish Ladies Golf Union, held at Westmanstown Sports Centre, Dublin, more than 160 clubs were represented with the number of attendees exceeding 400, well up on last year's figures.
All five motions were unanimously carried:
1 The adoption of a single affiliation fee.
2 The alignment of the Central Junior Council.
3 The amalgamation of the Senior & Junior Selection Committees.
4 The replacement of Standard Scratch Assesors by USGA Course Raters.
5 The adoption of minor amendments to the Constitution.
Patrickswell's Marion Collins replaced the outgoing Honorary Treasurer, Nora Murphy, on completion of her term.
Council members Rhona Brennan (Southern), Pat Farrell (Western), Pat Lowe (Northern), Maura Sweeney (Eastern) and Ann Popplewell (LGU delegate) all completed their three-year term and were replaced by Maire McMahon, Maura Joyce, Roma English, Nicky Robinson and Brigid McCaw respectively.
At the AA Insurance draw for all attendees, Catherine Murphy from Clane, Co. Kildare won a weekend for two at Dromoland Castle.
Membership of the Irish Ladies Golf Union has doubled over the past 10 years and with many of the Strategic Plan initiatives due for implementation, 2006 promises to be an exciting year for the 60,000 membership.
The inaugural AA Insurance National Golf Championships sees four singles and two foursomes inter-club competitions climaxing in a national final while the introduction of under-15 Interprovincial matches and an under-12 coaching panel focuses on development of the game at underage level.
This year’s annual general meeting was moved from University College Dublin, where it had been held for the past three years, to Westmanstown Sports Centre to cope with the additional numbers attending. Complimentary transport from the city’s train stations was well received with over 100 delegates availing of the service.
