81 East Cork Golfing
Dungarvan Golf Club The club was a hive of ac-
tivity this week as the Club Classic took pride of place. Generously sponsored as always by the three amigos Liam Carroll, Ger Darcy and Billy Queally, mem- bers and visitors took to the course in droves to help raise funds to maintain the high quality of our facility. The Classic was a tremendous success with 78 teams taking part. It was fitting that the winners should come from one of the sponsors as Ger Darcy and family took the honours with an incredible score of 110 points. Thanks to all for making the Classic such a success. Get into Golf We host-
ed a very successful Tast- er
evening for new lady

initiative was a huge suc- cess for our club. To enable these ladies to improve their skills David Hayes is run- ning refresher lessons for them. Lessons commence on Tuesday 2nd
