On Friday, Geraldines GFC held our first-ever Golf Classic at Dundalk Golf Club, and what a day it was!
With 188 golfers, more than 80 sponsors, fantastic weather and, of course, some questionable golf, the event proved to be a huge success and a brilliant day for the club.
Congratulations to our winners, who took first prize with an excellent score of 97 points: Gerry Roe, Declan Roe, Eunan Whyte and Pat Toner.
A massive thank you to our main event sponsors, The Unit and McGeough Funerals, for their fantastic support in helping make the day possible.
We are also extremely grateful to Tony Kieran Ltd, sponsors of the Longest Drive; Bodel, sponsors of Nearest to the Pin; and Greenlife Golf and Driving Range, sponsors of the Non-Golfer Prize.
A special thank you goes to Johnny and Sharon at Rawkfoods, and to all the staff at Dundalk Golf Club, who worked tirelessly to ensure everything ran like clockwork throughout the day.
Finally, we want to express our sincere gratitude to the many local organisations, businesses, individuals and families who supported the event through sponsorship. Your generosity and support are hugely appreciated by everyone at Geraldines GFC.
