The Travel Industry Golf Society held its Captain’s Day for Captain John Galligan at Palmerstown House Estate Golf Club in County Kildare. A brilliant turnout of TIGS members and guests attended the event with the weather providing plenty of sunshine and just a few passing showers. Yes Insurance led by Ciaran Mulligan served as sponsors for the day and their support helped make the event a success.
Palmerstown House Estate was described as a hidden gem in the Kildare landscape. The course was designed by Christy O’Connor Jnr and provided exceptional fairways and greens along with plenty of challenges. Thanks to Yes Insurance golfers were looked after starting the day with breakfast baps before heading out on the course followed later by pre-dinner drinks, dinner and prizes.
Yes Insurance also surprised every attendee with a EuroMillions lottery ticket. The event provided an opportunity for colleagues and friends from across the Irish travel industry to get together, enjoy friendly competition, catch up and connect in a relaxed and fun environment.
