Limerick Chamber tees-up welcome return of golf classic event

A GOLF classic, which takes place next month will raise money to help the families of sick children across Ireland.

Limerick Golf Club at Ballyclough on the edge of the city is to play host to the second Limerick Chamber golf classic on Friday, June 7.

The event is designed to appeal to those seeking a competitive day on the links, but also networking with the local business community.

Chamber president Noel Gavin said: “We hope that with each year, we can continue to elevate and grow this event making it a staple summer event for our business community. The support from Mr Binman our main sponsors, our tee sponsors, the participating teams, and our charity partner, Cliona’s Foundation, is truly heartening.”

Entry is priced at €400 for a team of four, covering the golf round, goodie bags, midway refreshments, and lunch in the clubhouse after your round of golf.

All the proceeds from the day will go to help the Cliona’s Foundation.

Based in Castletroy, Cliona’s is a national charity providing financial assistance directly to parents of children with life-limiting or chronic complex care needs across Ireland.

This is to help with the non-medical expenses related to caring for their child.
