I am delighted as Chairman of Finn Harps Academy to be here at the Launch of our Golf Classic with our friends at Ballybofey & Stranorlar Golf Club.
The event has grown from strength to strength and we had over fifty teams competing last year.
It is an important event for the Academy because apart from some solidarity payments from FAI, All the costs of running the Academy is funded and raised from parental contributions, fundraising and sponsorship and the Golf Classic is an integral part of that
This year in order to improve facilities for young players we have carried out substantial works to improve Killygordon and we have also carried out works as well at Riverview.
So we are asking Companies and individuals to sponsor the events, be it Main Sponsor, Tee Sponsor, or Green sponsors or enter a team to assist and support this.
The recent Golf Classics have proved to be very successful events thanks to the support of our sponsors and the many teams who took part. This allied to the fabulous setting of the Ballybofey and Stranorlar Golf Club and makes for a very successful and enjoyable day.
As mentioned the event takes place again this August 17th and all interested in taking part or in sponsorship can contact our office in the Base Centre in Stranorlar by email at admin@finnharpsacademy.com
