Happy Christmas; A very special happy Christmas to all our members, sponsors and to all the media support over the year, Have a very safe and special Christmas.
Autonomy for Templemore Golf Club. Christmas is always a special time of the year and this year came as a very special Christmas for Templemore Golf Club. The club will celebrate its 50th year in existence in 2021 and to date it has been on lease to the Garda Sports Field Company. The groundwork has been established to have its own Autonomy going forward after very diligent negotiations over the year by the club delegation, Captain Tony O’Toole, Treasurer Tom McGrath, Secretary Pat O’Connell, Communication Officer Martin Bohan and Former Captain Liam Daly with the Garda Sports Field Company and the OPW. The news came with great delight by all Club Members at our AGM and members from far and wide also from our sponsors who were so generous in their support, which is an acknowledgement and testament that Templemore Golf Club is truly recognized as an integral sport amenity in the town. Acknowledgements were extended from the local Community, local sport organisations, friends of the Club, non-member golfers, golf clubs far and wide, and local politicians on the future autonomy success of the club. We now look forward to a return of past members, Distant members, Junior, Societies and new members who wishes to join the club will be more than welcome. See 2020 Joining fees below.
