Waterford & Lismore Diocesan Youth Golf Classic

What to Expect

The Diocese of Waterford & Lismore holds its youth ministry fundraising golf classic at Faithlegg Golf Club on Monday 7 September 2026, run as a Champagne Scramble with teams of three and two shotgun starts through the day, at 9am and 2pm. The event raises funds for the diocese’s youth ministry work and is promoted through parish newsletters across the diocese, including Tramore and Carbally, as a way for parishioners, businesses and golf societies to support that work while playing one of the county’s better-known parkland courses on the Waterford Estuary. Entry is by team of three at a fixed team rate, and organisers ask golfers to book ahead given the format’s limited shotgun-start capacity. It is one of a small number of diocesan-wide fundraising events held each year outside the parish collection basket, alongside things like the Laudate evening’s donation appeal for World Youth Day. Faithlegg Golf Club sits on the grounds of the former Faithlegg House estate overlooking the River Suir, and hosting the classic there gives it a scenic, well-known setting that golf societies from across the diocese’s parishes, from Waterford city to Dungarvan and Tramore, can reach within half an hour or so. Booking is handled centrally through the diocesan youth ministry office rather than through an individual parish, reflecting the event’s status as a diocese-wide date rather than a single-parish fundraiser.
