The late-September sun and clear skies greeted golfers at the County Wexford Chamber’s Annual Golf Classic, held recently at Enniscorthy Golf Club.
Sponsored by J Donohoe BMW, the event attracted teams from across County Wexford, all competing for the chance to represent the Chamber at the prestigious Chambers Ireland All Ireland Chamber Champions.
The top prize—a spot in the national event at the renowned K Club in Co. Kildare in October on Thursday 17—went to the Sensible Safety team from Enniscorthy. Team members Paddy Fitzpatrick, Maurice Nolan, Tommy Morrissey, and Shane Dunphy will now represent County Wexford in this national competition, which pits the winning teams from local Chambers against one another.
The Kehoe & Associates team claimed second place, while J Donohoe BMW rounded out the top three in what was a tightly contested competition.
AIB’s Ger Smith earned individual honours with the men’s longest drive, while Catherine Lawless from Fresh Today took the women’s title for longest drive. John Conroy won the ‘nearest the pin’ competition. In a great achievement, Sean Nolan, from Reynaers Aluminium, secured a hole in one on the sixth green.
County Wexford Chamber CEO Paula Roche praised the event, saying: “Our Golf Classic provided a wonderful platform for businesses to connect, unwind, and enjoy a day of friendly competition. There was a great atmosphere, the course at Enniscorthy Golf Club was in superb condition, and the scoring reflected a very high level of skill from the golfers.”
The CEO also extended the Chamber’s gratitude to the event’s main sponsor, J Donohoe BMW, and acknowledged the support of numerous other sponsors, including Pettitt’s SuperValu, Home Instead Wexford, and Killowen Farm. The support of the local community was also reflected in the tee box and green sponsors, who were also recognised at the Golf Classic.
