Golfers preparing for stroke play qualifying for the South of Ireland Championship now have an ideal warm up — the 36-hole Balbriggan Senior Scratch Cup on Sunday, July 16.

Run in conjunction with the Junior Scratch Cup and sponsored by Balbriggan's Robbie Cannon via Cannon Performance, the event will be played 10 days before the trip to Lahinch.

The pristine, par-72, 6,637-yard parkland course is sure to be set up to reward attacking golf, which should mean healthy competition for the €500 top prize in the Senior Scratch Cup from the €1,500 prize fund.

The handicap limit for the Senior Scratch Cup is four (4) with the Junior Scratch Cup reserved for 5-9 handicaps.
