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.
Welcome from 2026 Captain, Jim Gillespie
It is a great privilege and honour for me to be appointed Captain of the Synge Street Past Pupils Golf Society for 2026. I have been playing in the Golf Outings with fellow 1984 Past Pupils for over a decade now and the two outings are ones that we look forward to as an opportunity to catch up and reminisce on the Good old Days.
I would like to acknowledge last year’s winners
- Mick Bollard Presidents Prize Castle Golf Club
- Derrick Baynes Captains Prize Grange Golf Club
I invite and encourage all former pupils to join Myself, President Brian and old friends for the two outings in 2026. Please also bring guests to compete for the visitor’s prize on the day.
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.
