Golf Classic for Local Sports Hall

Cornafean GAA club are holding their annual Golf Classic on the weekend of 29th-30th July, the forthcoming Bank Holiday weekend.

The Golf Classic is being held in Cornafean Golf Course and the main sponsor is Sierra Communications. This has been a very popular event in recent years and this year's Classic promises to be as equally successful and enjoyable. It is hoped this year that tee times will be available towards participating teams at various times over the weekend on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. On Sunday night, an Irish Night and Presentation of prizes will take place in McSeain’s Lounge.

The proceeds of the Golf Classic will be in aid of the new sports hall development at the club grounds in Cornafean, which was officially opened last November. The hall is now being used as an indoor sports venue and community centre by a wide range of clubs and societies and is already proving to be a valued resource for the entire community. While the club has been extremely successful to date in fundraising towards the cost of the venture, a significant debt remains to be paid in relation to the hall and the purpose of the Golf Classic is to raise funds to this end.

The organisers are hoping from a great response from individuals, businesses and companies, who are being invited to enter a team or contribute sponsorship towards the event.

The cost per team of four is €60 to include light refreshments. Attractive prizes will be on offer to the winning teams. Tees and Greens can be sponsored for €50 each. Sponsors will be posted on the Tees and Greens and will be publicly acknowledged and displayed on our community website www.cornafean.com. A Time Sheet will be in operation on the day and teams may be entered by telephone to Dominic King, Drumcrow, (049 4337415) / (087 269 6918 ) or to Padraig Cosgrove, Corlismore (049 4337094)
