CAPTAINS' MESSAGES

CAPTAIN

BRIAN WATT

It was a privilege to be Captain of Galgorm Castle Golf Club in 2023. I would like to thank my team of Office Bearers and Committee Members, for their support during my year in office.

LADY CAPTAIN

PATRICIA BLANEY

I was honoured to be asked to be Lady Captain of Galgorm Castle Golf Club in 2023 and was delighted to accept. It’s been a busy year and I cannot believe how quickly it has flown by!

Q&A: GARY HENRY

We sit down with Galgorm Castle Managing Director Gary Henry who talks at length about ongoing developments and projects at Galgorm. He touches on the near 30 year journey Galgorm has been on to become one of the most recognised and reputable venues in Ireland. He speaks openly about the challenges to the business in a difficult economic climate. And like golf courses across the country, he and his team have lamented the poor weather in recent months but is optimistic of a great season ahead that includes the NI Open at Galgorm from July 24-28, 2024.

FAREWELL JASON!!

"A true legend in his own spare time..."

Regretfully, long-serving member of the Pro Shop team Jason Thompson will be moving on at the end of this month.

Jason joined us as a young whippersnapper in 2011 and has been an integral part of the team ever since (apart from a few months out during his Australian excursion).

Jason, thank you for all your hard work over the years – you will be missed. I’m sure all our members will take the opportunity to wish Jason all the best on his next chapter over the coming weeks.

Next month, PGA Professional Gareth Shaw will join us from his current position at Moyola Park and we look forward to welcoming Gareth to the team.
