County Tipperary Golf and Country Club enjoy wonderful day out at Dundrum

What a wonderful two days of colour, activity and sunshine at Dundrum House Golf and Leisure. Everyone was up for the occasion as the Ladies of Co Tipperary Golf and Country Club lived up to their usual high standard of organisation that we are all so proud of. 

Lady Captain Mary O’Donnell and her hard-working committee put on a wonderful event over two days to raise funds for Breast Cancer Research. The Venue and the Golf Course was beautifully decked out in pink for the occasion which kicked off in the Venue with a Coffee Morning on Wednesday, many thanks to all who baked for the occasion. 

The golf started on Tuesday with the men seniors playing a scramble and the Junior golfers decked out in pink in the evening. 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.
