Golf pro McHenry begins €1m High Court action

IRISH golf professional John McHenry has begun a High Court action for over €1 million he claims he is owed by the owners of a “super exclusive” golf club.

McHenry Golf Ltd, a company established by the Corkman, a former director of golf with the K Club, has brought the action against businessman Alastair Jackson and his companies, the EASSDA Group Ltd and EASSDA Ireland Ltd.

Mr McHenry claims he was retained under a contract dated January 2007 by EASSDA, which initially involved setting up and running a luxurious golf facility at Moyvalley, Co Kildare, which opened last year.
