Message from the Captains
Dear Members,
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome both new and existing members to
the scenic and tranquil Mahee Island Golf Club for another busy year of golf.
Mahee Island Golf Club is famous for its panoramic views of Strangford Lough and
surrounding areas. The Golf Course is maintained to an extremely high standard throughout
the year thanks to the hard work and dedication of Course Manager Mr Wilson Gaw
and his team, the slick, true greens being a test for any golfer in the golfing
season.
To visitors and all those who use the club facilities a warm welcome is given by
our Club Steward Mr Colin McCaw, who himself was raised in the local area and will
always have time to answer any questions you may have about the club.
A fine way to finish your experience of this warm and friendly club would be a meal
in our restaurant provided by Head Chef Mr Mark Spence and his team with Sunday
Lunch being a speciality.
The Golfing season is almost upon us so its time to clean the dust off the clubs,
polish the shoes and perhaps slightly more difficult, get some oil into those rusty
swings.
I wish all team Captains, Player's and Caddies the best of good luck for 2010 and
I am sure they will do the club proud.
One last thing to note Captains Day is on the 26th of June, which just happens to
be my Birthday!
Looking forward to a successful year

Ladies,
Welcome to a new season of golf at Mahee and the second year of our website. Members
who do not have access to the internet, or who prefer not to use it, can find all
essential information relating to the Ladies’ section on the notice boards in the
Ladies’ locker room.
For a more informal, witty and colourful up-date on club happenings you can find
copies of the Mahee Newsletter on the coffee table in the Ladies’ locker room. Editor
Christine Mitchell has produced two excellent issues thus far this season and would
be delighted to receive any items, photographs and team results for inclusion in
the next issue.
The season is well under way with a number of Monday competitions and inter club
matches already completed. It would be great to see more ladies brushing off the
grass of last season from their golf shoes and getting out on a Monday. The weather
is steadily improving. Honestly I would like to extend a particular welcome to new
members and remind them that if they need assistance to get three cards for handicap
they can contact me to arrange a marker.
Catering is available from 12 noon on Mondays, giving you the opportunity to enjoy
the wholesome cooking of Mark and Claire either before or after you play golf. It
is also a good time to meet up with fellow golfers who are always ready to congratulate
or commiserate as the occasion requires.
Finally a word of appreciation for the Team Captains. Thank you for the wonderful
job you do. Our numbers are quite small at Mahee so please give your support to
the captains if you are asked to play. The very best of luck to all our teams this
year.
Enjoy your golf Ladies!
Isabel Mills
Lady Captain
