Tremendous support for Play in Pink day at Tipperary Golf Club
160 players turned out in warm sunshine
Sunshine and pink were the order of the day when the Ladies Club’s first main open day was held, when Tipperary Golf Club hosted the annual Pink Day, a Play in Pink initiative to support cancer research, specifically for women's cancer.
We’re delighted to report Tipperary Golf Club had over 160 golfers on the day, with 24 men playing in the 9-hole singles, donning all sorts of pink including pink shirts, pink skorts and even one gent had pink socks... fabulous support on a spectacularly warm day.
The heat didn't deter the players, the golf course duly rose to the challenge with stunning fairways and fluffy bunkers, and there were pink reflections all over the course for the great cause.
The event was kindly sponsored by Marian and Mary Riordan, and a great number of golfers remained in the evening to see Lady Captain Deirdre Hayes and Vice Captain Orla reveal the winners.
Prizes were presented in the clubhouse that evening and the greenkeeper Eddie Ryan and his team were congratulated for presenting the course immaculately, as always.
