Calcutta Run Golf Classic

For the first time this year, the Law Society is hosting a golf tournament as part of the Calcutta Run fundraising effort, and we would like as many law firms as possible to get involved!

This tournament will take place in Castleknock Golf Club on 27 May 2022 and it will be a 4 person ‘champagne scramble’ competition. That involves using the best drive on each hole, with all players finishing out each hole with their own ball from that position. This format works well for teams with golfers of varying ability / experience – and the competition is open to golfers of all levels!

This event will be a great opportunity to bring your team, your colleagues, your clients or your friends for a fun day out and help raise money for two great charities!
