Tennessee National returns to Ireland!

golfinglife — Fri, 15 Jul 2011 14:22:42 +0000

After last year’s highly successful member’s only golf trip to Ireland, Tennessee National Golf Club will be traveling to Northern Ireland this August.

Ten golf club members and our Director of Golf, Adam Foegen and Head Golf Professional, David Vannier will be heading across the pond flying into Belfast, Northern Ireland to start their golf trip. Much consideration was put into planning the itinerary for the trip and while Scotland and other locations were ultimately ruled out, there was still no problem filling the trip with 10 members. In fact, a few of the members that went on the golf trip last year will be going on the trip again this year! The returning golfers have mentioned that they don’t know how anything can top the trip they took to Ireland last year, but playing at courses ranked in the top of the world certainly will not hurt! (Last year’s intinerary was Ballybunion, Waterville, Tralee, Killarny Golf & Fishing Club & Old Head-pretty awesome courses!)

Golfers will be playing at the following courses this year:

Portmarnock Golf Club (#2 in Ireland & #43 in the World)

Ardglass Golf Club

Portstewart

Royal County Down (#4 in the World)

Look for a full recap of the trip and photos in August!

Fourth of July

A huge thank-you to everyone who came out to Tennessee Nationals pool party, bbq and fireworks show on July 4th. It was wonderful to see so many people at the pool swimming and meeting new friends or catching up with old friends.

We were a little worried about the weather on Monday afternoon, luckily after a quick (but strong!) thunderstorm moved through it was smooth sailing for the rest of the afternoon and evening. We even had a little cooler temperatures for a while until the sun came out again.

We hope you enjoy the pictures below from the event. To see more photos check out The Golfing Life/Tennessee National’s Flickr page.

Tennessee National Golf Club is fortunate to have a wonderful membership who are always up for helping out at tournaments. We have hosted many junior golf events, the SEC Championships and U.S. Open Qualifiers and whenever we put the call out for volunteers our members step up and volunteer their time. It was no differnt earlier this week when we hosted the Southeastern Junior Golf Tour. Thanks again to our wonderful members for helping out!
