Golf tour operator “Fairways and FunDays” has added a number of golf industry professionals to its team in Co Clare professionals Padraig McGrath and Sinead Sexton and Fit For Golf’s Mike Carroll.

Welcoming the new team members, Peter Lawrie, former Tour Professional and Director of Golf at the Fairways and FunDays said: "First and foremost, Fairways and FunDays is about bringing high quality, memorable golf experiences to our international clients.

“So, bringing Padraig, Sinéad and Mike onto the team, given their strong and growing credentials in the game, will greatly assist us in improving our product, tailoring it to specific customer groups and broadening our market coverage.”

Fairways and FunDays’ Commercial Director Joe O'Carroll added: "Although 2020 has been extremely difficult for the global tourism industry, we are confident that there is now pent up demand for golfing travel in our main markets and this will be released in the latter part of the year and throughout 2021.

“It is really encouraging to hear of increased golf club membership levels, increased participation among ladies and children, and overall increased positivity about the game's future."

He added: "We are thrilled to have been able to attract such talent onto our team. The new team members strengths speak for themselves but what is most important to us is that they are all great people, are all passionate about the business, the game and about Ireland, and all strongly fit with the culture at our company."

The company reported that it, working with its hotel and golf club partners, has been able to reschedule most of its March to September bookings.

O'Carroll thanked all customers and partners for their patience, understanding and flexibility during the past several months and stated that Fairways and Fundays is looking forward to getting everybody back on the fairways in Ireland as soon as possible.
