Ballybricken Bohermore GAA – Golf Classic 2024
On Friday last, The club held our bi-annual golf classic fundraiser in Ballyneety Golf Club , and to say the day was a success would be an understatement . We had 56 teams participating on the day, with the first team teeing off shortly after 8am and the last to go out just before 5pm. The weather held up well and and the golf was great (for the most Part) with some very competitive scores coming in. On the day we had prizes for 1st ,2nd,& 3rd place along with prizes for longest drive and also nearest to pin. The winners were as follows :
1st place – Caherconlish Pharmacy
2nd place – TR Consulting
3rd Place – O’Sullivans Centra, Clarina
Nearest to the Pin – Pat Madden – Team Takumi Precision Engineering
Longest Drive – Damien Browne – Team Damien Browne
Following the golf formalities, there was an enjoyable social night to celebrate the day in Vines Bar and Grill, Ballyneety where there was music on the night by “An Capall”. The night was not only for all who participated in the golf but a social occasion for all the community to enjoy. There was a raffle on the night, which turned out to be a great success ,with many fabulous prizes up for grabs . Thanks to all in Vines Bar and Grill for their hospitality on the night .
We also held a silent auction with a signed and framed Limerick GAA jersey signed by the Limerick All-Ireland winning hurling team being prize on the line. Bids on the auction began at 9am and with many early bids being tabled and before 11am we had already surpassed €1,000. With closing of the auction fast approaching and the bid being €1,900, we received a late bid at 10:40pm which proved to be the winning bid, coming in at just over €2,000. This auction was an amazing success and we are very grateful to Limerick GAA County Board for donating the Jersey.
