Irish Open 2009
Junior Golf Ireland had almost 600 children go through it's facility at the 3 Irish Open in Baltray. Beginner golfers from local schools and youth groups received tips from PGA professionals throughout the week and got a chance to see Shane Lowry and others in action on the links. Pictured here is our Ulster Development Officer Gary Lavery with Minister for Sport Martin Cullen who dropped by for a visit. See Gallery for more photos from the coaching clinic.

One scholarship will be for a girl involved in the JGI 'Girls in Golf' project. Click here for more information.
