Some of the top women in the Irish game will tee it up, but there is room for more at the 54-hole Dun Laoghaire Senior Scratch Cup from July 12-13.
Anna Abom and Jessica Ross, winners of the women’s event in 2023 and 202, will tee it up against the likes of Aideen Walsh, Holly Hamilton, Maebh McLoughlin, Jessica Ross and Kate Dwyer.
It’s one of the top events on the women’s calendar and captain Helen Waters is looking forward to seeing a top-class field next month,
"Our scratch cup is now a top-five event in the women's Bridgestone Order of Merit and we look forward to welcoming Ireland's elite amateur golfers to Dun Laoghaire GC,” she said.
“This event is held in memory of Peter Cosgrave, whose family was closely involved in delivering the incredible facilities and course we enjoy today."
The men’s title is also a coveted one and East of Ireland champion David Howard from Fota Island is one of the big favourites this year.
"This tournament, now in its third year, has already enjoyed success and gained recognition as an important Irish amateur golfing event,” said men’s captain Sean Ryan.”We in Dun Laoghaire GC want it to be an essential fixture in the diaries of all the best amateur players in the country, and we also want to enjoy seeing them conquer the challenges our course presents."
Entries close Sunday, July 6.
The €60 entry fee includes lunch.
There will be morning (8:30 a.m.) and afternoon (2:30 p.m.) shotgun starts for 72 players on Saturday, July 12.
The top 30 players qualify to play the final 18 holes on Sunday, July 13, with prize-giving immediately following.
