Ballina GAA Golf Club Classic Report
Post date: Aug 11, 2015 12:01:47 AM
Ballina GAA held their Golf Classic on Friday and Saturday last in East Clare Golf Club. The sun shone brilliantly on Friday when 19 teams went out and had a great evening's play with some good scores being recorded. On Saturday 20 teams took part enjoying sunshine for most of the day but with rain closing in on the last few teams. However, another great day's golf and fun was reported...some excellent scores and some that are perhaps best left unrecorded!
The Club is very grateful to East Clare Golf Club ,Mike Whelan and his staff for their hospitality and their sponsorship. At a very enjoyable Social evening on Saturday night in Brian Boru on the Hill the following received their prizes:
Maurice Costelloe's team were the overall winners followed by Jolly Tots, led by Brian Commins. In third place, Molly's team led by Dermot O'Connell and fourth place, Jack Hogan's team.
The Ladies prize went to Helen Purtill and her team.
The prize for the longest drive over the two days went to former Tipp hurling great Declan Ryan.
The arrival on the opening tee on Saturday afternoon of a most fashionably dressed gentleman led to the award of best dressed player being unanimously awarded to Mike Grace who would have looked quite at home in Augusta!
The Golf Classic is a very important fundraiser for the Club and the organising Committee would like to express a very sincere vote of thanks to all who entered teams and to those who gave very generous sponsorship for the event. Teams are named this week and all sponsors will be included in next week's notes.
