Ballyliffin and Royal Portrush Golf clubs have joined forces in a united cross-border bid to bring Golf’s Irish Open to Ireland’s North Coast.
Details of this exciting initiative were revealed at a media briefing for the Seniors Irish Open which will be staged on Ballyliffin’s classic ‘Old Course’ from June 20-22 of this year.
This year’s Seniors Open will attract a very high profile field that includes Eamonn D’Arcy, Des Smyth, Sandy Lyle and Sam Torrance among others to Ballyliffin’s world famous links in Inishowen in North County Donegal.
Not satisfied with this, the very progressive Inishowen club sees this as a mere “stepping stone” in their effort to bring the Irish Open to the north coast in conjunction with Royal Portrush in 2010 and 2011.
