WELCOME TO THE LINKS GOLF SOCIETY

The Links Golf Society was founded in 1966 by Cecil Whelan after a competition with 29 golfers at the famous Baltray Links Golf Course in County Louth.


The Primary objective of The Links Golf society is fund raising for various charities through golf. In the past 11 years the society has raised over €10 million for various charities, primarily youth charities. The links also runs a Winter League for Professional and good amateur golfers. This gives aspiring young golfers the opportunity to play with their peers and also help to improve their game.


Every year the links also runs two Celeb/PRO-AM Events the Des Smith Classic and the Padraig Harrington Audi Classic.


Padraig Harrington has accepted the post of vice-president. Details of Padraig's annual celeb-am to be confirmed.
