Feelgood To The Fore!

The name’s Bradshaw…

he sun shone, the golf clubs swung, and a fine day was had by all at this year’s Two Marys Golf Classic.

Taking place at the Greystones Golf Club, this much-loved fundraiser tends to bring out the best in people around here.

It also brings out the wallets and purses.

Set up 20 years ago in memory of Mary Nolan and her daughter, Mary Bradshaw (who tragically passed away within a week of one another), each year, the great and the fairly good take to a local golf course and unleashed their skills in memory of their dear, departed friends.

All in the name of a grand day out, but more importantly, these annual get-togethers raise a whole chunk of change each year for Greystones Cancer Support.

One of the town’s biggest fundraisers, you can find out just how much they’ve collected over the last two decades right here.

The winners on the day were, in 7th place, Keith McDonnell, Ray Crotty, Chris Boylan and David Byrne (53.6), in 6th, Robert Bradshaw, Sahara Bradshaw, Thomas Bradshaw and Joe Broughan (53.4), 5th was Kevin Barry, David McInerny, Trevor Davis and Vinny Heffernan (53.4, back 9), 4th was Philip Martin, David Martin, Murt Davis and Adam Packman (53.1), 3rd was David O’Toole, Jimmy O’Toole, George O’Brien and Jamie McDonald (52.8), 2nd place was Darren McCormack, Ashton McCormack, Derek McCormack and Craig McCormack (52.9, back 9) and the winning team on the day was Anto Byrne, Karl Holmes, John Byrne and Dylan Holmes, on 51.7.

Big congrats to all the winners, and well done to the Bradshaws and the Nolans for once again pulling together a great day.

And capturing it all, as always, was GG’s #1 roving photographer, John McGowan…
