May Day Golf Classic A Success

Kanturk and District Community Council held their first ever Golf classic on the 1st of May. It was a tremendous success. A complete sell out of teams, in a wonderful location, and played in glorious weather made it a perfect day.

Teams teed off from 9am to 4pm, and they played some great golf. And when they were finished, they were served great food in the “Bob’s on the Green” restaurant.

At the end of the day Pádraig O’Connell started tallying up the scores and the winners were announced.

A great day was had by all , including the members of Kanturk community Council as most of us never experienced a golf classic before but are looking forward to the next one already.

Just like to thank Kanturk Credit Union for being the main sponsor. All the businesses for sponsoring tee boxes, teams, raffle prizes, posters etc. All the players for making it such a wonderful day.

Kanturk Men’s shed for making the box signs. Kanturk Golf club for the use of the beautiful course and Bob’s on the green restaurant for the lovely food and refreshments throughout the day and for facilitating us. Pádraig O’Connell for doing the results. And a huge thanks to Eilish O’Connor and Eimear Savage for the trojan work done behind the scenes to make this event possible.
