PRESS RELEASE

Sunday 28th February 2010


Ann Gallen, long time member and the first lady to be President of the club in its 65 history, explains “the Balbriggan course has undergone various changes and extensions but none as radical and far-reaching as now exists.” A key member of the restaurant refurbishment team, Ann warmly invites visitors to drop in for a drink and a bite to eat – “you will find a great welcome waiting”, she adds.
Demonstrating their commitment to the promotion of their course and facilities, Balbriggan have recently appointed Elaine Spillane as Marketing Executive, available on 01-8412229 to help all visiting golfers and potential new members find a package suited to their needs.
“We have introduced a range of extremely attractive, age related membership fees to cater for post 55 age groups” said Elaine. “If there are people newly retired to Balbriggan who have downsized from the city and wish to make new friends and enjoy a healthy past-time, please drop into me at the club for a look around and further information. In addition, we have a very attractive temporary membership for one year, for non-golfers, who wish to try the game without breaking the bank! Elaine adds, “we also have a vibrant Cadet and Juvenile membership with our professional staff of Nigel, Chris and Rory kept busy in the summer months – keeping the young ones busy!
