The Ryder 'FLY in' Cup Visit
The Ryder cup had a whistle stop visit to Brynhill Golf Club on Tuesday 27th May.. The Cup was bought in a helicopter during the visit, play was suspended during the time.
Glenn Taylor the Club Captain and members were their to welcome it!
The children were somewhat bemused and excited by this spectacular occurrence, but young and senior members and visitors took delight in having their photograph taken with the cup.

Captain Report 2008
CAPTAINS REPORT 2008
I have thoroughly enjoyed my term as Captain this year, although the weather was a little different to the past years. Thankfully the alternate arrangements for some events went smoothly without the disruption of rain.
Firstly I would like to thank Gareth for nominating me for the Captain’s position, he left the club with a legacy in helping to run Committee meetings and organise sub committees and chairpersons. Without his organised help, I personally think the meetings would have been a lot harder for me to chair. I would also like to thank Gareth, for his excellent presentation of C.A.S.C, all questions were answered in a professional manner and hopefully most members at the end, were more knowledgeable towards C.A.S.C.
Our own President Peter Hayman has been a great support to me during my year, although dogged with ill health he has given me the support and advice and sometimes the humour in meetings to help defuse light hearted discussions.
Many thanks must go to Glenn Taylor, my Vice Captain this year. Glenn has worked extremely hard this year, on Committee, Finance and organising all presentations and making my year in Captaincy a lot easier.
Special thanks are to Derek Coombes and Phil Gershenson who gave me their valuable advice in creating an opening for an extra employee in the office to assist Rita.
A special thanks to all committee members who gave their valuable time towards the everyday running of the club. The handicap section toiling under the duress of a faulty computer did a very good job. Hopefully there will be enough in the pot to purchase a new one. Jack McKee has put Brynhill in the spotlight throughout the year and I can’t thank him enough for the coverage in the local papers. Also Colin & Julie Harkin have worked hard in the junior section, with Colin also on General Committee. Rita and Lesley in the office have done a very good job this year, and have worked well together, helping each other in different aspects of the job.
Hilary West has excelled in her role as Head of Greens in her first year, and also her horticultural skills around the course have not gone unnoticed. I would like to thank
Mal Rowlands for his help in carrying out repairs to the clubhouse and surrounding area.
Shirley O’Donovan, Jack McKee and Chris Philips are retiring from committee this year and I would like to wish them all the best for their contribution towards the running of the club. Sue Holland, last year’s Lady Captain raised monies for charities, and I’m very grateful for her support during my year.
I would like to thank Jan Tattersall our Lady Captain for taking an interest in attending committee meetings and wish her all the best in her year of office. Graham Cogbill has done a very good job organising Quiz nights and hopefully will continue in the future.
Dave Eagle our Treasurer has helped a lot more this year, training Lesley in accounts and making the accounts easier to read for some. Debbie and her Staff have done a fantastic job this year always helpful with smiling faces from morning until late into the night.
Steve our Chef has cooked some wonderful meals this year and is a credit to the club. All guests who have eaten at the club have been full of compliments at the high standard of food.
Due to adverse weather conditions this year, Duncan and his staff have had some very quiet times, but due to their vigilance and smiling faces they have brought monies into the club with green and buggy fees.
Last but not least Iain and his green staff have kept the course in excellent condition, considering yet again the weather. They have performed miracles and deserve the praise that has come from Members and Visitors alike.
Congratulations to our Club Champion, Andy Dodd. I refereed that match and was very impressed with the high standard of golf achieved by Andy and Scott Bowman.
Helen Cook our Lady Champion is a credit to the younger members and hopefully her win, will encourage younger ladies to take up the sport. The Second team Captain Richard Bond did very well this year, winning their division, and also the Hallet team with Phil Cook who won theirs for the second year running.
Having started my report some time ago, penning my thoughts onto paper, I was looking back on my year and thinking, apart from the weather, this year has been incident free. The atmosphere in the club house has been warm and very friendly and Saturday mornings there are a group of golfers who always welcome new and old members to join them in stableford competitions.
Unfortunately on Friday night 15th February we had a visitor or visitors to our course with a mind to disrupt our golf as much as possible at a cost to the club. Those who saw the damage on that weekend to the greens, felt for the green keeper and his staff who had worked so hard during the winter to keep the greens in good condition. Let us hope we find the person or people responsible before they strike again.
To my wife Brenda, I have many thanks, for organising the tents and arranging the rota for the ladies on Charity days and Captains Weekend. Her support has been second to none, accompanying me to various functions throughout my year of Captaincy.
To the Ladies who manned the tents and scoreboard, a big thanks for your support and also to the members and their guests in contributing towards my charity.
Special thanks goes to Paula O’Callaghan who came home from Tenerife just to sell raffle tickets on My Captains Weekend, and her contribution resulted in highest ticket sale for some time.
I would like to wish Glenn Taylor my Vice Captain, all the best for his year and hope he enjoys his year as much as I have enjoyed mine
