Paddy Dunne Golf Classic

Ciara, Paddy & Gary Dunne…

e’s a man who loved his golf, which may explain why his kids set up the Paddy Dunne Memorial Charity Golf Classic in his name.

That first outing was due to happen on April 10th 2020, but Covid managed to stop play.

It didn’t stop Gary and Ciara Dunne setting up a donation page instead though, and the siblings brought in a whopping €3,588.45 for the Blackrock Hospice. In 2023, it was a whopping €11,500, whilst 2024 was even bigger, with €13,683 raised.

This time out, it’s the same good cause but now, as with the last two years, everyone can get out on the green and actually play.

The place is Greystones Golf Club, the date Friday, July 25th, with a 4-person scramble team at €100pp or €400 a team. You can also sponsor a hole for €150 – and if you’re a local business, the search is on for this year’s raffle prizes.

The schedule is checking for shotgun start #1 at 9.30am, the golf commences at 10am, with 2.30pm the check-in for shotgun start #2, that game commencing at 3pm. The golf is due to finish at 7pm, with drinks until 8pm, when dinner will be served, followed by prize giving, a raffle and, hey, Mr DJ!

You can also donate directly to the Paddy Dunne Memorial Charity Golf Classic here.

All proceeds go to the Blackrock Hospice again, and you can reserve your spot by email Gary on [email protected] or Ciara on [email protected].
