The Two Marys Bring Out The Sun

A fixture on the Greystones calendar, The Two Marys Memorial Charity Golf Classic continues to celebrate two great Greystones women whilst also raising money for a very worthy cause.

That cause being Greystones Cancer Support, of course.

Now entering its 16th year, this popular annual event was created in memory of mother and daughter Mary Nolan and Mary Bradshaw.

And so far, it has raised thousands for cancer research, with last year’s record-breaking total hitting €6,100.

There were 52 teams out in the blistering sun on Friday at Greystones Golf Club, and the good weather, and those fine memories, brought out the best in the players.

Especially the winners…
