Dooks has big plans for 125th birthday

Dooks Golf Club celebrates its 125th anniversary this year and the renowned Kerry links wants as many golfers as possible to join the party.

Founded in 1889, Dooks is one of the 10 oldest golf clubs in Ireland and to mark this year’s milestone the club has launched a programme of events it hopes will attract players to its stunning corner of Dingle Bay beneath McGillycuddy Reeks.

Many social and golfing events are planned for the year, says manager Michelle McGreevy with details to be found at the club website, www.dooks.com, while a visit to their Facebook Page ‘Dooks Golf Club 125’ promises interesting posts on club history as well as an event schedule for 2014.
