COMMUNITY NOTES: BALLINA - WESTERN PEOPLE (FEBRUARY 10 EDITION)

Ballina Golf Club is launching an ambitious three-day fundraising tournament after Easter, running from April 9 to 11.

The West Swing Golf Classic is quite a unique event, offering golfers that rare opportunity to compete across three of the West of Ireland’s most prestigious courses in just one weekend.

Designed as a fun, high-value team outing, the classic will visit Carne Golf Links (Thursday, April 9), Enniscrone Golf Club (Friday, April 10) and Ballina Golf Club (Saturday, April 11), bringing terrific value for golfers and the added attraction of great prizes.

Participants will be competing for an impressive prize fund of €5,000, with overall team prizes, daily winners and ‘on-course’ competitions such as Longest Drive, Nearest the Pin and more.

At €600 per team of four, the event represents exceptional value for three rounds of championship-standard golf.

While the competition will be high, the focus of the weekend is on fun and community support. Organised by Ballina Golf Club, the event serves as a vital fundraiser, supported by main sponsor Prestige Tiles and Bathrooms.

“We wanted to create an event that showcases the incredible golf we have here on our doorstep while offering a fun, social atmosphere for players,” said the organising committee. “To play three courses of this calibre, and for this price, is a fantastic opportunity for any golfing enthusiast.”

Places are expected to fill quickly, and a deposit is required to secure a spot. To book your team for The West Swing Golf Classic, please contact Ballina Golf Club on 096-21050 or email info@ballina-golf.com. You can also visit the club’s website at www.ballina-golf.com for further information.
