The gang’s all here… THUR25JUNE26 Delgany Golf Club

atest press release from the Colin O’Mahony Golf Memorial gang, issued on Friday, July 3rd 2026…

The third Colin O’Mahony Golf Memorial took place in glorious sunshine at the magnificent Delgany Golf Club on Thursday, June 25th 2026.

Provided with goody bags from Centra Eden Gate, 19 teams teed off for a shotgun scramble at 1.30pm, with provided extra hydration stops along the way – including on the 9th hole, where the golfers stopped to raise a toast to Colin.

The beer was generously donated by Rí-Rá Brewing Company in Kilcoole.

Lots of celebrations on the course as Alan McDonald from the Temple Carrig Team got a hole in one! He was presented with an overnight stay in the Iveagh Gardens Hotel, provided by Derek Doherty.

A further 43 guests joined the golfers for dinner, with the main raffle, a table raffle and lots of golf prizes taking place. So, nearly everyone got something!

The top prize in the main raffle was a MoMuse gold and diamond necklace, which was a special Ryder Cup 2025 Commission. The golf prizes were sponsored by Bray Tile and Bathroom Centre.

First prize and deserved winners of the Colin O’Mahony Cup was the team of teachers from Temple Carrig Greystones (John O’Brien, Robert Delaney, Jack Commons and Alan McDonald). All of Colin’s daughters are former or current pupils of the school.

The winning team…

Anne Ivory attended from Greystones Cancer Support Group along with Tina Connell from Our Lady’s Hospice Blackrock. They both spoke about the incredible work carried out by both charities and some of the recent initiatives that the money raised at this event goes towards.

The night finished off with some dancing, thanks to DJ Brian Walsh. This was one of the highlights for all of the young people, as many of Colin’s daughters friends and cousins were also there on the night.

Another wonderful event remembering Colin and raising funds for two very worthy charities. With €35,000 raised to date from the 2024 and 2025 golf classics, year 3 will definitely bring the total raised through this annual event to over €50,000.

This is an incredible amount and a fitting legacy for a great man. Huge thanks to all of those who attended and to those who purchased raffle tickets, to our many sponsors and supporters and to Delgany Golf Club for looking after us so well.
