About the Golf Society

Synge Street Past Pupils Golf Society was founded in 1948 and the Captain’s Prize played for since 1954. The aim is to enjoy our golf while raising funds for the school. Entry to the society is free and open to all past pupils.

We hold two outings annually in May and September, in Castle GC and Grange GC.

We welcome sponsorship of the prizes which helps us to maximise our contribution to the school.

Captain 2025 - Pat Walsh

It is a great privilege and honour to be the Captain of the Synge St PPU Golf Society for 2025 and I look forward to the success of the two outings.

While I completed my Leaving Cert in 1971, I had five siblings in Synge Street who completed theirs in 1969 (Eamon); 1968 (Tommy); 1961 (Brian); 1956 (Joe); and 1955 (Noel), all proud Synger lads. So, it is indeed a great honour to represent the Walsh clan as Captain of the Synge Street PPU Golf Society.

I would like to acknowledge the dedicated commitment of Tom Scully and Tom McGowan in organizing the outings over many years and for their support in arranging this year’s events. I would also like to thank our past captains, past presidents and our sponsors for ensuring the enduring success of the Society.

In addition to the enjoyment of playing golf in the two excellent courses with former pupils of the school, the raffle at the outings raises much needed funds for the school. Last year €2,500 was presented to the Principal for school projects.

I look forward to meeting up with fellow Synger lads and their guests at the outings.
