“Warrenpoint is one of the most successful clubs in the country and has produced many great professional golfers over the years. On behalf of the Council and members, I look forward to welcoming the professionals and amateurs to Warrenpoint Golf Club.”
The tournament, sponsored by Prentice BMW, Portadown and supported by Autoline Insurance Group, Newry will feature some of Ireland's leading PGA professionals competing alongside teams of three amateurs.

Suzanne Curtis of Autoline Insurance Group added; “We’re thrilled to be supporting Southern Area Hospice in the upcoming Pro-Am event with Warrenpoint Golf Club. As a local broker, we’re very much focussed on community and we recognise the invaluable work that SAHS do to help make a difference to the lives of local people.”
The hospice cares for over 1,000 patients annually with services including a 12 bed Inpatient Unit, Day Hospice Units in Dungannon and Newry, Outpatient Clinics in Dungannon, Newry and Craigavon, Palliative Care Teams in Daisy Hill Hospital and Craigavon Area Hospital, Homecare Nurse in Armagh and Dungannon districts, Bereavement Support Services, Community Liaison Sister, Donaldson Counselling & Therapy Centre and a Hospice Information & Resource Centre in Dungannon.
Community Fundraising officer, Denise Doyle said; “Southern Area Hospice Services rely on 73p in every pound coming from fundraising in order to continue providing the level of care and support currently available. All services are provided free of charge to patients and their families and with a fundraising target of £2.6 million for 2018, SAHS must raise over £7,000 every single day to help people affected by life-limiting illnesses in our community.”
