Last Month's Event

Pictured at our July event

2nd Annual Golf Outing

A very rare sunny evening was very much appreciated by the golfers participating in our second annual golf outing held on Wednesday 18 July in the stunning surroundings of Deer Park Golf Club in Howth. While some members chose to play a competitive round of golf, PGA Professional Marc Woolfson treated many others to an informative and entertaining lesson. The spectacular view was a huge distraction to some but we learned a lot about the game.

The golf was followed by a beautiful 3-course meal and we were comfortably ensconced in the dining room when the inevitable rain came pouring down.

Network Dublin President, Leanne Papaioannou presided over the awards ceremony where first prize for golfers was shared by Christine O’Mahony and Mary Kershaw with Marian Wallace awarded a close second. Amongst the group for lessons first place went to Sharon Robinson, second place to Claire O’Callaghan and Louise Doyle won the contest for nearest to the pin.

We are very grateful to Bank of Ireland Global Markets for sponsoring our awards and to BR Marketing for providing water and healthy snack bars for the goodie bags.
