Gong With The Wins

Someone failed to get an award…

t was a grand old night at the Greystones Golf Club on Saturday as the Éire Óg gang handed out their annual gongs.

There were cheers, there were beers, and best of all, there was a list of the winners courtesy of the erudite Daniel English waiting in our inbox straight after.

Bada-BOOM!

Club vice-chairperson Mark Barry said of the night; “We are delighted to be back at Greystones Golf Club for the Éire Óg Greystones Annual Dinner Dance and Awards.

“Last year was another exceptional year for Éire Óg Greystones as our membership expanded and number of teams grew again.

“I would like to thank everyone that gives their time to promote our games and to continue to make our club a wonderful place for all our members young and old.”
