JOHN McGRATH MEMORIAL 2025

Preparations are now complete for the John McGrath Memorial which will take place this Wed 9th July, with a shotgun start at 9 am. We ask all team members to be there as early as possible as photos of the teams need to be taken on the first tee box before the official start.

This year we again will support the Palliative Care unit in Dungarvan Hospital.

The event consists of teams of four players playing 32 holes of golf continuously. Burgers will be provided on the twelfth hole and sandwiches and tea/coffee at the kiosk. A meal will be provided and prizes will be presented post golf.

Entry fee per player is set at €50 which must be paid at the kiosk prior to the day of the competition as no entry payments will be taken on the day.

If you need any more information on the event or to enter a team contact Bob at 086 8390871

ON THE COURSE
Please remember the Three R’s:

Rake Bunkers – Always rake the bunker after use, leaving it as you would hope to find it.

Replace Divots – Replace and firmly press down any divots taken.

Repair Pitch Marks – Repair your own pitch marks (and any others you see) on the greens to help keep surfaces smooth and true.

Your cooperation helps maintain the course in excellent condition for everyone, thank you.

We kindly remind all members and visitors to observe the club dress code. Full details are available in the kiosk and on the first tee noticeboard.
