Golf Ireland has announced details of their collaborative events with the Disabled Inclusive Golf Association (DIGA) ahead of the 2026 season.
Eight events have been scheduled, starting in Lee Valley Golf Club on Sunday 22nd March, with the final event in the series to take place on Sunday 4th October at Moyvalley Golf Club.
The eight events will cover at least one in each Golf Ireland Region and places will initially be limited to a maximum of 36 competitors at each event.
Golf Ireland is committed to growing participation levels for golfers with a disability, thanks to the support of ISPS Handa.
The inaugural ISPS Handa G4D High Performance Panel through Golf Ireland was announced last week and marks another significant milestone in the sport.
The establishment of a dedicated G4D High Performance Panel reflects Golf Ireland’s commitment to providing structured support to players competing at the highest levels of the game.
South African G4D Open champion, Ian St John (Tramore), and G4D Tour @ FedEx Open de France winner Mark Clougherty (Lambeg) are joined by Paul O’Kelly (Portmarnock), Cian Arthurs (Roganstown), Fiona Gray (St Patrick’s), Caolan Munnelly (Tullamore), Conal Flynn (Athenry), Dianne Conway (Shandon Park), Tom Doherty (Killarney) and Timmy Moloney (Co Tipperary).
These golfers have demonstrated consistent performance and their inclusion on the panel signals the next phase of growth for disability golf in Ireland, aligning with Golf Ireland’s broader high performance framework.
