JOHN MCGRATH MEMORIAL CLASSIC 2024
We look forward to our Memorial Classic, in memory of the founder of the Goldcoast Resort John McGrath, which takes place this Wednesday 10th July at the Gold Coast Golf Club. Teams must present in the car park before 8.30am for a team photo and collection of scorecards. We will be teeing off at 9 am in a shotgun start and continuing for two rounds for teams of four players. Tea/coffee and sandwiches will be provided when passing from 18th to 1st hole and burgers and sausages will be provided after the 11th hole. Following the golf a meal and presentation of prizes will take place in the Goldcoast Hotel. The cost of entry is €50 per person, and we kindly request that this is paid to the Kiosk before Tuesday. From this entry fee a very large amount will go to purchasing equipment for the Palliative Care Unit in Dungarvan Community Hospital. This is one of the best days of the year in the Goldcoast and one of the most enjoyable golfing days of the year.

Our ladies under the management of Anne and Breda V. played their match against Wat/Castle in Tramore on Tuesday 2nd July.
As this was a 9 Hole East Qualifier only 3 out of 10 clubs participating qualified and unfortunately we were one of the 7 who lost out!!
However, our girls gave it their all on a very tough and challenging course and we are very proud of their efforts!! Thanks to our players, caddies, managers and supporters on the day. It was appreciated very much!!
Wishing the qualifying teams the very best of luck in the next leg of the tournament!
CARTON CUP
Our Carton cup team under the management of Breda V and Anne were away to Castlecomer GC on Sun 7th July for their next leg of the tournament. A warm welcome awaited us from the Lady Captain and team members on arrival.
The matches got underway in a very friendly and sporting fashion and the result was indicative of the golf played from both teams!! We were delighted to come away with 2 wins and a half from a very tricky but beautiful course.
The ladies are looking forward to the return leg to the Gold Coast on Friday 19th July, and we are looking forward to welcoming them. Congratulations and well done to our girls, caddies and managers Breda V and Anne for a great result on a very difficult course.
