Course superintendent at Killarney Golf and Fishing Club David MacIndoe is leaving the club this week after almost 30 years in the position.

THE European Tour carnival may have moved on to fresh pastures but for the staff left behind at the Irish Open’s host venue there is still plenty of work to do.

WHEN Europe’s leading touring professionals show up at the first tee on Killarney Golf & Fishing Club’s Killeen Course in the last week of July, it will not be business as usual.

IT’S not just the storms of winter or the drought of early summer that have caused problems for David MacIndoe, the course superintendent at Killarney Golf & Fishing Club.

IT was a glorious day when we assembled at the Killarney Golf & Fishing Club for the 3 Irish Open media day.
