Golf Classic 2026
A fantastic day on the fairways
Our annual Golf Classic, proudly held in association with Lexus Cork, took place this week, welcoming more than 160 golfers for a memorable day of networking, friendly competition and great camaraderie at Lee Valley Golf Club.
From the first tee time at 7am, the course was buzzing with activity as teams enjoyed a superb day on the fairways. Thanks to the generous support of our Chamber members and partners, every participant received a packed goodie bag to get the day off to a great start.
Congratulations to Davy, who claimed the top spot with an outstanding score of 55.8.
A special thank you to everyone who supported the Hole-in-One Charity Challenge, in association with O'Donovan Baker LLP Solicitors. Together, participants helped raise an impressive €2,100, with all proceeds to be shared between Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind & Hand In Hand Children's Cancer Charity.

Two-Factor Authentication: Troubleshooting Tips
As you may know, we recently activated two-factor authentication (2FA) on Member Information Centre logins. This adds a second layer of security by sending a one-time verification code to the email address registered to your account, so that a password alone isn't enough to access your membership record. It protects your company's details.
Since activating it, we've seen a rise in members being locked out. Most cases come down to the same few things — login details being shared between colleagues, or verification codes landing in spam.
