Golf Ireland High Performance Director Neil Manchip is looking forward to the upcoming international events and the future of Irish golf, as the teams were announced for the U16 Quadrangular Matches, French U21 Women’s Championship (Esmond Trophy), and French Boys Championship.

The U16 Quadrangular Matches will take place on 5 and 6 April at the Kennemer Golf & Country Club in Zandvoort, Netherlands. The format will be both singles and foursomes matches, with Ireland facing Scotland and Wales on 5 April across morning and afternoon sessions, before their final match against the Netherlands the following morning.

The French U21 Women’s Championship will be held from 6-10 April at Golf de Saint-Cloud, Paris, and the French Boys Championship is also scheduled for 6-10 April at Golf de St-Germain, France. And with the latest selections Manchip is excited for the future of Irish golf.
