The local community is coming together to support Jerry O'Leary of Cornhill, Barradubh, who was confined to a wheelchair following an accident in June 2023.

A unique fundraising event, dubbed a "mini" golf classic, is being organised to raise funds towards purchasing a wheelchair-accessible vehicle for Jerry.

The event will take place at Deerpark Pitch and Putt Club on Bank Holiday Monday, October 28, and is open to everyone, regardless of age or golf experience.

Participants will play in three-person teams using a scramble format, with each game taking approximately one hour to complete.

Deerpark Pitch and Putt Club, renowned as one of the finest courses in Ireland, has generously offered its facilities for the fundraiser.
The course features 18 holes of varying lengths, making it suitable for players of all skill levels. Golf clubs will be available for those who do not have their own.

The organising committee encourages individuals and businesses to participate in the event or donate to the cause.

A team entry fee of €60 (€20 per person) is required, and tee-box sponsorship opportunities are also available starting at €50.

To book a tee time or donate, please contact Donnagh Moynihan at 087 2755481 or Connie O'Sullivan at 087 2833343.
