Participants will compete for the coveted John Harvey Masonic Memorial Trophy, a tribute to one of the tournament’s founders who passed away just a year after the event was inaugurated.
Beyond the thrill of competition, this tournament is also a heartfelt effort to support charitable causes within the community. Organiser W. Bro. Peter Johnson, the Provincial Grand Charity Steward, emphasised the importance of philanthropy to Freemasons, noting, “At last year’s Golf Tournament, we raised over €10,000 through business sponsorships, contributions from local Masonic Lodges sponsoring individual holes, and the entry fees from all our golfers. This year, we aim to exceed that number, with all proceeds donated to Masonic charities.”
