Play in Pink Day for Breast Cancer Research
The Play in Pink Days for Breast Cancer Research organised by the Ladies Club was a huge success and raised significant funds for Breast Cancer Research.
The Ladies of Co Tipperary Golf & Country Club led by Lady Captain Jacinta Coman and her hard working committee did a wonderful job over the two days with the Venue and Golf course all beautifully decked out in Pink. It kicked off in the Venue with a Coffee Morning on Wednesday, many thanks to all who baked for the occasion.
The event finished with a BBQ on Thursday evening with the food sponsored by Dundrum House Proprietor Jeff Leo with all the takings going to Play in Pink. The golf on both days was very well supported. There was a fantastic buzz around and a great time was had by all. A huge thanks to everyone involved and a special word of thanks to all the players from far and near, your support is greatly appreciated.
