WHS Parents' Council Golf Classic

The Parents’ Council at Wilson’s Hospital School organised a very successful Golf Classic fundraiser in September 2024 at Moate Golf Club. It was a very well supported event and enjoyed by all who took part. The organising committee of the Classic included Veronica Anderson, Mandy Finnegan, Thelma Greene, David Hundley, Leonard O'Mahony and Robert Dolan. They would like to thank the many sponsors of the event for their generous donations of funds, prizes and also participating in the competition.

A huge thank you to Moate Golf Club for their help and support in organising the event. Everyone involved were complimenting the Club on the standard and presentation of the course on the day. The superb meal provided by the club’s 'Par 3 Restaurant' went down very well with the players coming in from the course on a day. Some players were lucky with a totally dry round and others had to take shelter! The committee would also like to thank TY student Oscar Hundley for his help and early start to put up the signage throughout the course and for acting as photographer for the day. A special thanks to Jean Dolan for baking the treats for the golfers as they made their way around the course.

It was an enjoyable, successful day and the committee are grateful to all who gave their time and support to the event.
The prize winners included:
Winning team: Midland Computers
2nd Team: Shaws Arro, Mullingar
3rd Team: Fox's Fruit, Mullingar
4th Team: John Farrelly
Nearest the Pin: Kevin Fogarty - Fox's Fruit
Longest Drive: Women: Marian Fogarty - Fox's Fruit
Longest Drive Men: Billy Moore – Salmon’s Coaches

In particular, it was great to have a team of students (David, John, Cian & Tori) play so well in the event. That they finished in front of the two teachers' teams in the final tally made the day all the better for them!
