Monte Rei Golf & Country Club will host a major charity golf day next month in memory of pop star Ronan Keating’s late mother Marie.
The Marie Keating Foundation golf day will take place on 12th October at the resort in the Eastern Algarve, Portugal.
It is part of the ongoing relationship between the charity and Monte Rei and promises to be an enjoyable tournament which will raise money for a very worthy cause.
The event will start at 10am with a team breakfast, before a shot-gun start at midday. After playing golf, guests will be invited to enjoy cocktails at the Clubhouse before dinner at Vistas restaurant, overseen by the renowned Chef Jaime Perez.
This is the second year that Monte Rei has hosted a golf tournament with the Marie Keating Foundation and the resort is delighted to be involved in such a worthwhile cause.
The Marie Keating Foundation was launched by the Keating family and is committed to providing families with the necessary information to prevent cancer or detect it at its earliest stages, whilst also making cancer less frightening by enlightening those who encounter it.
Gary Keating, one of the founders of the Marie Keating Foundation says: “We’re thrilled that Monte Rei have agreed to host our Portugal golf tournament for a second time.
“This year is set to be bigger and better than last year, with celebrities and well-known golfers in attendance, including ex-footballers Alan Shearer and Rob Lee. We’re hopeful that this will become an annual event in our charity’s calendar and we’re incredibly grateful to Monte Rei for the support and generosity which they’ve shown us to date.”
Famed for its Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course, the first of its kind in Portugal. Monte Rei is rapidly gaining recognition around the world as a premier golf and family destination and, since its opening four years ago, has been ranked as the number one golf course in Portugal.
Entry to the tournament is at a cost of €1000 per four person team. Contact Gary Keating to book your place gkeating@gkevents.com
