The Ladies of County Tipperary Golf and Country Club had Dundrum Golf Course and Clubhouse awash with pink last week, as members came together for a vibrant and heartwarming Play in Pink fundraiser in aid of vital breast cancer research.
Over two glorious days, the club house and course were beautifully decorated in every shade of pink, thanks to the creativity of the Ladies’ Committee. The clubhouse buzzed with energy, as non-golfers enjoyed a lively coffee morning, complete with home-baked treats, while golfers took to the fairways for a series of competitions.
The ladies’ main event was a 2-Ball Better Ball, which drew an impressive 150 competitors. Over 100 men joined in the fun with their own competitions, including a light hearted 9-hole and a more competitive 18-hole challenge.

The club’s senior men enjoyed their special slot on Tuesday morning, while junior members brought youthful energy to the course on Tuesday evening.
The sunshine shone brightly on the event, and the perfect finishing touch awaited every golfer—a sparkling glass of bubbles as they came off the course.

Lady Captain Marie Graves warmly thanked the Pink Committee, generous sponsors, talented bakers, enthusiastic players and all the supporters, whose kindness and contributions made the event such a success.
The two Play in Pink days were more than just a celebration of golf, they were a testament to community spirit, generosity and shared determination to help fund lifesaving breast cancer research.
County Tipperary Golf and Country Club’s Play in Pink was truly a magical event in Dundrum.
