Tim Dorsey, the high bidder
at $35,000 at the Dallas 2005 Tournament golf auction,
won the opportunity to experience the best of the best
of Irish and Scottish golf. Lahinch, Waterville, Old
Head, the K Club, Portmarnock – where
hosts Gerry O’Reilly and Johnny Fortune engaged
in a friendly foursome competition.
Dinner was hosted
by Tommy Gallagher at the K Club with a helicopter
provided by Arthur French was the grand finale of their
Irish trip before departing for their Scottish sojourn
at the Bennett’s highland estate.
From there they played
the best of Scotland, Carnoustie, Kingsbarns, Royal
Troon, Turnberry, and finally Loch Lomond as guests of
Jack Irvine, former editor of the London Times, golfer,
and host extraordinaire. The result – four happy golfers
and four dedicated Ireland Funds supporters.
