Lady Captain Noreen McConigley will welcome ladies to the Captain’s Day of the ladies winter links on Thursday 28th March.

The Portsalon Golf Club bar & restaurant will be open from 11am serving tea, coffee and scones. Roisin and her staff also have a delicious early bird menu and à la carte menu for post golf.

The members sub competition will be played on Sunday 31st March. With a chance to win a free membership for 2025, victory would be sweeter than an Easter chocolate egg.
