Golf Classic launched in aid of Kerry Mountain Rescue
The launch of the Kerry Mountain Rescue Golf Classic took place this week at Beaufort Golf Club, with Kerry Ladies footballers Fiadhna Tangney and Fay O’Donoghue on hand to officially get things underway.
The Golf Classic, which will be held on Friday, June 20, is a key fundraiser for the Kerry Mountain Rescue Team, a group of volunteers who provide a 24/7 mountain rescue service across the region.
The team is made up of 35 trained volunteers, all experienced mountaineers and hillwalkers, who drop everything when the call comes in – day or night, rain or shine.
Running the rescue service isn’t cheap, with annual costs of over €50,000.
While some funding comes from Kerry County Council, the Irish Coast Guard, and Killarney Municipal District , a large chunk of the budget must still be raised through donations and events.
Team entry costs €300 (for four players)
Tee box sponsorship is just €50
