Following the Government announcements regarding the Covid-19 outbreak, it is with regret that the IGBF annual Dublin golf outing scheduled for May 28th has been postponed.
Our priority is the safety and wellbeing of our supporters, volunteers, sponsors and the general public.
We fully understand this is disappointing news to all our dedicated followers, but it is in the best interest of the community.
We will continue to monitor the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation closely during these challenging times, once safe the event will be rescheduled and we hope that you will be in a position to defer your support once new date is confirmed?
I know how hard it is to find funds to support such events but the demands on the fund are even greater than normal so your support will be very much appreciated.This is one of the great charity golf days of the year in the trade
