The BioBank Golf Classic in aid of cancer research was held again this year on Friday 19th June in Malahide Golf Club – our 16th year in Malahide! A total of 50 teams participated and we expect the day will raise in excess of €20,000 all of which will go towards funding new treatments in the fight against cancer.
Despite inclement weather a great day and evening was had by all with a possible club record achieved of TWO holes in one at a single outing – both on Red 9. The visiting teams were effusive in their praise for the course, clubhouse and facilities with most players on multiple repeat visits to this great day of golf. BioBank will return to MGC on June 18th 2027 with the time sheet already in great shape. A huge thank you to our organising Committee, our Volunteers, our Admin and our many supporters and sponsors – you turn up every year and you all did a great job! Looking forward to next year!
