The American Ireland Fund hosted its Ninth Annual New Jersey Golf Classic on October 3rd at Baltusrol Golf Club, one of the nation’s premier golf courses and home to 16 national championships including seven US Opens and one PGA Championship.
The Fund wishes to thank the Golf Committee chaired by Thomas Ryan of ING who worked diligently to secure sponsorship for the outing.
On the night, the committee paid tribute to long time supporter John “Chuck” T. Dolan of Gibbons, PC, who has graciously hosted the outing at Baltusrol since its inception. Gibbons P.C. was also the the Event Sponsor – thank you for this generous support.
