IHF Benevolent Fund Golf Classic

Following on from the success of last year’s event, we are delighted to announce that the 16th Irish Hotels Federation Benevolent Fund Golf Classic will take place in Rathsallagh Golf Club on Monday 27 June 2011. This event is being held in aid of a very worthy cause, the Irish Hotels Federation Benevolent Fund, which provides assistance to members in need.




The entry fee is €500 per team of four thanks to the generosity of our host, Joe O'Flynn, who is providing the course on a complimentary basis. We are also accepting individual entries at €125 each and will be made up of a mix of teams comprised of members and suppliers.



The Irish Hotels Federation Benevolent Fund would greatly appreciate your support and the Golf Classic is an ideal opportunity for people in the industry and their suppliers to meet socially and have a fun game of golf.



Soup and sandwiches will be available in the clubhouse from 11am, with the event proper kicking off with a shotgun start at 12.45pm. All participants are invited to join us for the Rathsallagh Club House Barbeque that evening at 7pm.



The format for the day is as follows:



•Competition is for teams of four persons.

•Competition is open to teams entered by Federation Members, Federation Branches, Associate Members, Suppliers to the Industry and Allied Organisations

•Dinner is the very special Rathsallagh Barbecue in the clubhouse at 7.00pm
