What a fantastic week promoting Ireland’s world-class golf offering at the annual Invited Champions Classic in Pinehurst Resort, North Carolina.
It was my first year attending and a huge pleasure meeting golfers from all across the US also reconnecting with some of my colleagues from the Irish golf industry.
Special thanks to Tourism Ireland and Tourism Northern Ireland for their continued support, and in particular to Cieran Barry and Paul McDonagh, who worked closely with Tom Jaronski’s team at Invited to ensure everything ran seamlessly.
Thank you to Dunluce Lodge for sponsoring the Hole-in-One prize, and to my father for contributing a very special bottle of Bushmills Single Malt Cask 1975, bottled for the Millennium that captured the spirit of the week.
Congratulations to the 40 nearest-to-the-pin prize winners, and especially to the team from hashtagTheHeightsGolfClub in hashtagSanDiego, winners of the 9-day trip to hashtagIreland! Their prize includes unforgettable stays and rounds at Royal Portrush Golf Club, Killeen Castle, Portmarnock Resort & Jameson Golf Links, Mount Falcon Estate, Enniscrone Golf Club and Carne Golf Links
Well done also to the teams from Timarron Country Club, Gleneagles Country Club and Brookhaven Country Club on their victories.
I am still in US promoting Ireland in Georgia and Florida having fun reunions with tour guests and meeting Directors of Golf.
