Enable Ireland launch exciting golf competition to raise funds for children's centre

Golf clubs throughout Cork city and county are gearing up for Enable Ireland’s ‘Longest Drive’ and ‘Nearest the Pin’ charity competitions which will see men and women of all levels of expertise take part in a two-pronged competition at participating golf clubs throughout April.

"The inaugural ‘Longest Drive’ and ‘Nearest the Pin’ competitions will take place throughout the month of April, culminating in four finalists from each club taking part in the grand final which will be held at Fota Golf Club on May 7 with some lovely prizes planned," said Maria Desmond, Enable Ireland's community fundraising manager, at the launch of the competition.

"We have always enjoyed very strong backing from the general public for all of our fundraising initiatives in Cork over the years, and I’m delighted to report that level of support we have already received for this initiative has been terrific. It promises to be an exciting and engaging competition, which I hope, will ultimately raise much needed funds.
