ABOUT THE Irish Seniors Amateur Open
First played for in 1970 when the legendary
Cecil Ewing (Co Sligo) won the title at Lahinch,
this event has grown in strength and
popularity since then. The Championship has
proven to be a breeding ground for the Irish
Seniors Home International Team and the
European Seniors Team, as the recent list of
winners proves.
This Championship attracts a quality entry
from overseas, and no fewer than seven
winners have come from outside of Ireland.
Competitive entry process, but a handicap of
2.5-3.0 should get you in this 54 hole stroke
play event.
