Popular Hospice Golf Classic in Nenagh this weekend
Next Saturday and Sunday, July 31, and August 1, will see the staging of the third annual Golf Classic in aid of North Tipperary Hospice In Home Care Movement.
The organising committee have quickly built this event into one of the best value classics on offer throughout the year and yet again they are offering a fantastic range of prizes valued at more than €2,000 for a very modest entry fee of just €80 per team of four.
GREAT SPONSORS
On launching the 2021 Classic, Paddy Heffernan, Nenagh Branch Chairman and Classic Organiser, thanked the main co-sponsors Fogarty Concrete Templederry, Kelly’s of Fantane and Costello Oil, Nenagh, who have come on board yet again this year and without who’s generosity it would not be possible to offer such tremendous prizes. In addition to the main prizes there will be special prizes for the best ladies team and best visitors team. Paddy also thanked the Captains and members of Nenagh Golf Club for allowing the use of the Club’s facilities again this year. The golf classic has become one of the main fundraising ventures run by the hospice.
NUMEROUS SPOT PRIZES
Due to the current Covid restrictions it will not be possible to have the traditional competitions for long drives and nearest the pin but instead there will be a draw on the scorecards for numerous spot prizes all of which have also been generously sponsored. Goody bags, sponsored once again by Mannings of Nenagh, will be provided to all competitors on registration.
In addition to the classic there will be a raffle for green fees for three of the top golf courses in the country – Ballybunion, Cork Golf Club and Druids Glen.
Tickets will be available at €5 or three for €10.
BOOK YOUR TEE TIME
Demand for tee times is brisk with most spaces on both Saturday and Sunday mornings already booked but there are still spaces available on both days.
Booking is now open on the Nenagh Golf Club BRS booking system or by ringing the Club at 067 31476.
100K WALK
In addition to the golf classic the 100 kilometre walk will conclude on Saturday, July 31, with a 20k trek from Dromineer to Garrykennedy commencing at 9am.
Walk organiser and committee member Pat Delaney is looking forward to welcoming all participants to Dromineer on Saturday morning.
For those who are not available, or who would prefer a less onerous walk you can join Pat in Tesco car park on Thursday evening at 7pm for a more leisurely 6k stroll also in aid of North Tipperary Hospice.
Your support for these events would be greatly appreciated.
