Shamrock Open Golf Tournament at the Course at Yale

The Associated Irish Societies (AIS) is proud to announce the 2014 Shamrock Open to benefit the Greater New Haven St. Patrick’s Day Parade. The golf tournament provides funds to make the longstanding parade, the largest spectator event in Connecticut, possible for the community of New Haven.
The tournament will be held at The Course at Yale, 200 Conrad Drive, New Haven on Monday, Aug. 18. The entry fee per golfer is $175 or $700 per foursome and includes a round of golf, green fees, cart, lunch at The Turn, tournament gift, open bar, dinner and raffle. Registration begins at 9 a.m. and shotgun start is at 10 a.m. Dinner, open bar and raffle are immediately following the tournament at The Knights of St. Patrick, 1533 State St., New Haven.
“The annual Shamrock Open will be where the 2015 Parade season kicks off. It’s the first of many fundraisers to help raise the more than $100,000 needed to put on the parade," said Parade Chairperson Colleen Hines. 
Reservations for the Shamrock Open can be made online at www.stpatricksdayparade.org or by mail to St. Patrick’s Day Parade Committee, Attn: Shamrock Open, P.O. Box 2, New Haven, CT  06510. Registration deadline is Aug. 11.
The AIS raises funds to support the Greater New Haven St. Patrick’s Day Parade, a non-profit 501(c)3 charitable organization. The Greater New Haven St. Patrick’s Day Parade’s continued success is made possible by individual donors and corporate sponsorships. Events are scheduled throughout the year in the Greater New Haven area. The parade committee is comprised of approximately 100 volunteers. Sponsors for the tournament include long-time supporter The Knights of Columbus and for the first time, Keenan Funeral Home sponsoring lunch. Sponsorship opportunities remain available for businesses to support the event.
