Glass act Kiely proves a winner with crystal Swing

MICHELLE KIELY, a second year student from the National College of Art and Design, has won the competition to design the trophy for this year’s ‘3’ Irish Open at the Killeen course, Killarney (July 29 to August 1).

The trophy, Perfect Swing, is a unique design made from cut and polished crystal and sterling silver.

Kiely said the work “is inspired by the swing of the golf club on teeing off but represents the complete game from the perfect starting swing to the final act of putting the ball”.
