SUNSET RIDGE COUNTRY CLUB | JUNE 1, 2026
Thanks to all who joined the Irish American Partnership’s annual Chicago Golf Tournament. We were delighted to enjoy some fine weather at the spectacular Sunset Ridge Country Club!
Our Chicago golf community returns year after year to enjoy the camaraderie and fun of this tournament, and to invest in Ireland’s future. For more than 30 years, Tournament supporters have raised significant funds supporting youth and education, peace and reconciliation, and community programs across the island of Ireland. We thank you for your support.
We enjoyed warm welcome remarks from Deputy Consul General of Ireland and keen golfer Padraig Manning! Thank you to Honorary Golf Chair Alderman Pat O’Connor, who spoke about the power of connection and the role of education in shaping lives. And to David Neenan, whose generous support has made a real impact in Counties Clare and Kilkenny.
Congratulations to the 2026 winners from Team Flood Brothers Disposal & Recycling Services: Bob Flood, Phil Bandle, John Whalen, and John Stringfellow! We also congratulate raffle winner Ed Fitzpatrick who will enjoy a trip to Ireland!
Our sincere thanks to our Tournament Co-Chairs Donal O’Brien, Esq. and Mark Weir, to our Honorary Chairman Alderman Pat O’Connor, and to you for making this Tournament one of the highlights of the Partnership Golf Championship Series.
