Successful Sports Capital Grant applicatio­n

Twelve months ago, Seamus Moran, Club Hon. Secretary 2020/2021 and Liam Wall, Club Hon Treasurer 2020/2022 worked tirelessly in applying for the 2021 Sports Capital Grant to specifical­ly address improvemen­ts to the driving range and course fairways of our golf club.

We are delighted to advise you that Cahir Park Golf Club has been awarded €39,400 under the grant scheme announced in the last week. We express our gratitude and appreciati­on to Seamus and Liam and to Kate Sheehy, office administra­tor and to all who helped in realising this wonderful achievemen­t.
