Martin Hughes Golf Memorial

Four people stand outside Ballinrobe Golf Club. One holds a trophy and two hold a large cheque for €9,000 to Mayo Roscommon Hospice Foundation, proudly supporting Mayo Roscommon Hospice. There is a golf club sign and green trees in the background.

Martin Hughes passed away peacefully in the Mayo Hospice in November 2023, surrounded by his loving family.

Last year the family decided to host a Golf Memorial event in memory of Martin to raise funds for Hospice.

It took place at the Ballinrobe Golf Club and raised an incredible €30,000. 

The family decided to make the Martin Hughes Golf Memorial an annual event which was held again this year in Ballinrobe Golf Club on August 9th . There was also a raffle on the day. An incredible €9,000 was raised.

Martin’s Wife, Collette, said ‘I wanted to give something back to the Hospice as they were amazing to Martin and I when he was ill.  The care Martin was given and the support I received was exceptional and hope this money raised will help other families in a similar situation.’

We thank Collette, her family and everyone involved in making the event such a huge success.
