Refixed Éire Óg Ger O’Meara Memorial Golf Classic
Polite reminder that our re-scheduled annual Ger O’Meara Memorial Golf Classic goes ahead on Friday 27th/ Saturday 28th/ Monday 30th October at Ennis GC.
Given that we had a huge support pledged for the original date we sincerely hope that we can rely on all teams who had planned to play, or those who had committed to sponsoring tee boxes will be available to support the event on that weekend to ensure that this vital Club fundraiser is as successful as possible again this year.
Times available by contacting Paul Nihill on 086 8346091. We are flexible so please make contact if you have any difficulty figuring out a preferred time and we will do our best to accommodate you!
If you can’t play then why not sponsor a tee box and have your name or your company name advertised to Eire Og friends and members for 3 days at Ennis Golf Club. €50 secures the deal 😊, contact Paul on the number above or support online here. Looking forward to seeing you all on the bank holiday weekend!”
Many thanks to those who have sponsored to date:
