The first Irish Open for Golfers with a Disability will take place in Roganstown Hotel & Country Club from July 5-6.
As part of Golf Ireland’s 2022-2026 Strategic Plan, one of the objectives was to “deliver a clear, streamlined, inclusive and equitable event calendar, including disability and development competitions.”
“We are thrilled that the first Irish Open for Golfers with a Disability will be taking place this summer”, Golf Ireland CEO Mark Kennelly said. “Earlier this year we launched our Strategic Plan for 2022 to 2026 and creating events like this was an important part of that process.
“Representatives from Golf Ireland recently travelled to Portugal to see how EDGA help run and manage events for golfers with a disability, and I know our staff and those in Roganstown will help put on a tremendous event this July.”
The news of the Irish Open for Golfers with a Disability comes after Golf Ireland launched the 2022 Golf4All programme. Elite golfers with a disability can apply for funding for the 2022 season here.
