AHEAD of the 2019 Dubai Duty Free Irish Open at Lahinch Golf Club in July, an open day for members of the public will take place at the Lahinch Coast Hotel on Sunday (April 7th) from midday to 4pm.
Representatives from The European Tour, Lahinch Golf Club, Clare County Council, An Garda Síochána, HSE, Dubai Duty Free and Fáilte Ireland will be present to outline their preparations for the most prestigious event on the Irish golfing calendar from July 3-7.
Organisers will be available to answer queries on a range of topics, including traffic management arrangements, the Site Plan, and how Lahinch and the wider county will benefit from the event. Meanwhile, a new website dedicated to promoting Lahinch and surrounding areas in the lead up to, during and after the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open will also be launched.
Among the golfers already confirmed as joining the field for this year’s European Tour Rolex Series event, hosted by Paul McGinley, are Louis Oosthuizen, Padraig Harrington, Shane Lowry, Tommy Fleetwood, Danny Willett and Lee Westwood. For more see dubaidutyfreeirishopen.com.
