*Mick Guinee, Founder Chairman and CEO of Ei Electronics with Aine Donegan.

ENNIS golfer, Áine Donegan has signed a partnership deal with Shannon based Ei Electronics.

Having qualified for back to back US Women’s Open in 2023 and 2024, Áine is regarded as one of the most promising female golfers in the country.

A member of both Lahinch and Woodstock Golf Clubs, Áine competed in the KPMG Women’s Irish Open at Dromoland Castle in 2023. She is currently on a scholarship to Louisiana State University

She has been playing golf since the age of nine and first represented Ireland aged fourteen, from that time she has been coached by Garry Madden. She has played at Louisiana State University for the last two years and in June 2023 was part of the Great Britain and Ireland Vagliano Team. She is currently eyeing 2024 Curtis Cup qualification and participation in the 2024 Women’s Irish Open.

At an event held in Shannon Golf Club on Tuesday, Áine met with Founder of Ei Electronics, Mick Guinee to announce the new sponsorship deal. “I’m very pleased that Ei has come on board to support me, and I’m delighted to represent a leading Company from Clare. Their generous support will make a great difference to me as an amateur golfer competing on a world stage,” she said.

Guinee who serves as Chairman and CEO of Ei stated, “We are delighted to support Áine on her continued successful development path. A passionate golfer she showed great commitment and promise from an early age. In line with Ei’s CSR strategy, we are pleased to support women in sport generally, and Áine being a Clare native makes our involvement all the more significant”.

While she was in Shannon, Áine presented prizes to the winners of the Shannon Chamber Golf Classic. “When our members signed up to play in the Classic on 20 June, little did they, or indeed we, know that Áine would be presenting the winners with their prizes. It was such a bonus, and we are now hoping for an added bonus when the winning team go to the K Club on 17 October to represent Shannon Chamber in the All-Ireland Chamber Champions golf competition”.
