SEA OF PINK AT FERMOY GOLF CLUB
An impressive view could be seen at Fermoy Golf Club last weekend as the sun cast a rosy hue across the fairways and every variation of the colour pink was on display for the Play in Pink Open Day Champagne Scramble. The fundraiser was in aid breast cancer research and kindly sponsored by Barnes Jewellers Fermoy.
It was very well supported and played over two beautiful days of sunshine. Helen Arnold was on hand to photograph each team before tee-off, adding to the enthusiasm of the competition for the best dressed team and first and second prize for the best individual dressed in pink. Thank you to the teams and everyone who participated in the success of this worthy cause.
