Annual Underage Boys & Girls Fundraiser – The Golf Classic – See Poster Attached above for all the details
DATE:- Friday 25th May. Don’t forget to keep it free :-)!!!
Calling all Golfers…………….Ladies Teams, Mens Teams, Family Teams, Mixed Teams – prizes for all sections .
Enter a team now and enjoy a fabulous days golf out in the fantastic Kinsale Golf Club, with a 3 course meal included in your entry fee. And of course lots of great prizes to be won also.
It will be a great day out – plus of course all the bragging rights for the winners, so important :-)! This is a significant fundraiser for the Underage Section of the club – so please set those reminders in phones, mark the calendar and make sure you are free to take part.
And for those non-golfers out there – you can also help out by sponsoring a Tee-Box sign for €50 (why not go halves with a family member or friend)!!!
Crucially all funds raised will go directly back into the club and will be ring-fenced for the Underage Section of the club both Boys and Girls – so the more money thats raised the more money we can use towards improving equipment, getting extra new training gear etc for our future stars!.
The club will also be looking for a number of volunteers to help organise this event – so please if you can help out let us know by replying to this email or text Laurence on 087-9056737 or Gearoid Condon 086-8325202. This event has been very successful over the past few years but the club is always looking for new ideas/suggestions to build on which may lead to more money being raised for our Boys & Girls Underage Section of the club.
Huge Congrats to our very own local legends Geogia Gould and Jenny Murphy – Munster Champs with Cork Minor Team!
Congrats to the Cork Minors who are Munster Champs after a dramatic victory over Kerry!
With 12 minutes to go, Kerry were 8 points up but Cork’s never say die attitude encouraged them to fight back and win by a single point, 1-12 to 2-8!
Jenny and Georgia played a crucial role in an epic final and Courceys Fiona Keating our near neighbours, who is also on the team, played a huge part in the end result!!
