Mary McKeever
It is with a heavy heart that I report the passing of Mary McKeever, a cherished member of both Castleknock and Black Bush golf clubs and a beloved 5-day representative on our Ladies committee for a number of years. Mary departed this world today, leaving behind a legacy of warmth, dedication, and camaraderie.
Mary’s love for golf extended beyond the fairways;. Her role as the 5-day representative on the Castleknock committee showcased not only her organizational skills but also her passion for fostering a strong sense of community among all members.
Beside her contributions to the golf club, Mary will be remembered for her kindness, sense of humor, and the genuine connections she formed with those around her. She touched the hearts of everyone fortunate enough to know her.
She will be deeply missed but remembered with love and gratitude.
Go ndéana Dia trócaire uirthi.

The Captain’s Dinner
The Captains’ Dinner was an absolute blast! John Newcombe, the charismatic Men’s Captain, and Carol Kirwan, the graceful Ladies’ Captain, set the tone for an unforgettable evening. The atmosphere was great with speeches that struck the perfect balance between heartfelt and humorous. As the night unfolded, the dance floor became a hub of energy, fueled by a fantastic band that kept everyone grooving. Craic echoed through the venue, making it clear that this was more than just an event—it was a celebration of camaraderie and merriment. Here’s to more memorable nights next year with John and Sharon!!!

Captain’s Away Day/Night July
Mount Wolseley
The ladies away day took place in Mount Wolseley last Wednesday. The event was kindly sponsored by Anne Keane. We had 40 ladies who teed off in typical Irish weather…Rain. Despite the conditions, all teams finished and adjourned to the bar for a well-deserved drink, followed by prize giving.
Later that evening, we had a beautiful dinner and there was plenty of chat and craic. Let’s just say, breakfast the following morning was a little quieter than the previous night !!!
On Thursday, 31 ladies played nearby Bunclody in glorious conditions. In contrast to the previous day, we all sat down on the beautiful balcony and had lunch followed by the prize giving. It finished up a great couple of days.
Thank you to everyone who supported the event and made the away day a memorable one for Lady Captain, Carol
