It’s all about the style…
nother year, another perfectly sunny day for the annual Clara’s Golf
Classic.
An event so important that we had not one but two photographers on the case.
Yep, the Guide’s #1 roving snapper John McGowan was joined by the mighty Gerry Kelly for a day of sun, silliness, largesse, fireworks and, hey, a showstopping hole in one.

The Ryan lad
The man responsible for the latter being Kilcoole’s Martin Ryan, who walked away with a €100 voucher as his prize, and a great big grin on his face for the rest of the day.
The man probably woke up smiling this morning too. Especially given that he was also on the winning team.

McGowan pulls again…
Congrats on the Groome family for another fine day out for a very good cause, namely the Crumlin Children’s Hospital.
