Our new John Deer pedestrian aerator has now arrived. This aerator is a pedestrian machine which is easier to operate and more efficient. We are replacing a 2007 (16-year-old) tractor mounted aerator which is obsolete at this stage, and not only slow but, more importantly, could damage the greens. In recent years, we have used a contractor to do our…
Men’s Captain: Congratulations to Colm Whooley on his nomination for incoming Vice Captain.

‘Blue Post’ Buggy Path – for use on marginal weather days. Earlier in the Year we committed to marking out a buggy path for use on marginal weather days over the winter period. These are days when buggies would ordinarily not be allowed due to the soft course. This blue post buggy path is the new route designed and must…

This is an expensive process that we are reintroducing…

9th Tee Box We are in the process of finalising the project to remove the concrete plinth. The tall trees surrounding the 9th tee inhibit grass growth and therefore a permanent mat is needed to ensure playability all year round. However, the installation of the artificial playing surface last year met with much comment and debate. We reviewed its functioning…
With Delgany’s great Ryder Cup history it is fitting that we celebrate the match when it comes around. This year we have an Italian themed celebration. We are grateful to Robert Fox for his support with Birra Moretti. We will have multiple TV screens in the clubhouse over the weekend where members will be able to follow all the coverage…
