Following the success of last year’s inaugural event, the Atlanta GAA Golf Classic returns to the Heritage Golf Links in Tucker on Saturday May 10th, 2014. This year’s event, which serves as the primary fundraiser to promote Gaelic Games in the Atlanta area, promises to be even bigger and better. The funds raised from the 2013 Golf Classic helped Atlanta send the Southeast’s first camogie squad to the NACB Playoffs in Cleveland where the girls performed heroically to reach the Junior final in addition to funding equipment purchases to allow us to establish local adult co-ed leagues to grow our games. The 2014 Golf Classic will assist in the establishment of a youth program in our club.
Sixteen teams competed in a four person scramble tournament in the 2013 Classic. The winning team led by Jim O’Sullivan were presented with the top prize by the Irish Consulate General Mr Paul Gleeson. Both players and supporters were entertained on the day by performers from the King O’Sullivan School of Irish Dance and the Ballybeg Band.
The format of the event will be the same with entry fees being $125 per person/$500 per team of four. Individual players are welcome and will be paired up into teams on the day. Entry fees includes green fees, cart, use of range facilities, complimentary food & alcoholic beverages and Irish dancing & music entertainment. Team and individual prizes will also be on offer to players on the day. Hole sponsorship is also available for $200. All donations are tax deductible as the club is registered as a non-profit organization with a 501(C)(3) tax status.
Entry fees and hole sponsorships can be paid online ahead of the event so please register as soon as possible. Please contact Paul Bradley (paultbrad@gmail.com) if you have further questions about this event.
