Sun brings a smile to team behind Fota’s Irish Open event

Rory McIlroy has never even seen Fota Island, let alone played it. But if the hard work of organisers is anything to go by, he and his fellow players will be wowed not only by the three championship golf courses set in beautiful parkland, but also by the structures in place to make this week’s Irish Open one of the best ever.

As Cork gets ready to welcome 156 European Tour professionals, the weather has remained kind to EventServ, Ireland’s largest event support services group which has transformed Fota Island into a world-class viewing venue for the 100,000 visitors expected to attend between tomorrow and Sunday.

The Irish Open will also be broadcast to golf aficionados in 200 countries.
