Over 16,000 golfers from 197 clubs around the country took part in the Holmpatrick and Granard Cups, which were established in 1932 and 1933, respectively.

Mullingar Golf Club provided the perfect setting for the 2025 final after regional hosts Millicent, Dun Laoghaire, Strandhill and Woodstock showed incredible generosity and commitment to Vision Ireland by providing their courses free of charge to the charity for these events. 

The winners of the Granard and Holmpatrick Cups will now get to experience a golfer's trip of a lifetime to the historic St. Andrews. 

They will stay for three nights at the magnificent Rusacks Hotel and will play three of the St Andrews courses, including The Eden, New Course and The Castle Course.

"On behalf of everyone at Flogas, we would like to congratulate Strandhill and Waterford Golf Club on their remarkable victories", said John Conroy, Marketing Manager, Flogas Ireland. 

"The Flogas Vision Ireland Holmpatrick and Granard Cups have become a firm fixture in Irish Golf clubs' calendar, offering golfers from every corner of the country a chance to represent their club.

"We are very proud to sponsor these historic events and, in doing so, support the incredible work that Vision Ireland does for so many people affected by sight loss around the country."
