COURT OWN LADIES

Another busy week began for Courtown ladies on Tuesday, July 17. Our competition was sponsored by Gaslamp Gallery who have been sponsoring our ladies’ section for a number of years now and we really appreciate that support. The prizes were fabulous.

Claire O’Connell of Gaslamp Gallery attended the presentation on Tuesday evening and gave us a rundown on upcoming events. It promises to be a busy autumn for both the gallery and the golf club. Thank you so much Claire.
