JOHN MCGRATH MEMORIAL GOLF CLASSIC 2026
Our John McGrath Memorial Golf Classic came to a close yesterday after a fantastic week of golf, and we are delighted to say it was a tremendous success with all proceeds going to Dungarvan Community Hospital.
A huge thank you to all our members and visitors who turned out in such great numbers to support the event. We are also extremely grateful to all our sponsors who once again came on board and showed their incredible generosity in supporting this very worthy cause.
We would also like to thank the organising committee, our staff and management for all their hard work and dedication in ensuring the event ran so smoothly throughout the week.
The results are currently being compiled and we will announce the winners on Facebook and our social media channels by Friday. Details of the prize presentation and raffle draw will also be announced at that time.
Thank you to everyone who helped make the 2026 John McGrath Memorial Golf Classic such a tremendous success and most importantly for your wonderful support of Dungarvan Community Hospital.
