Sun tonic can give Ireland edge, says Alex Gleeson

AIG Irish Close Champion Alex Gleeson will head into the European Nations Cup in Spain next week in confident mood, his early season form kick-started by warm-weather winter competition and a positive vibe from a close-knit Ireland squad.

Ireland will be defending their title at Sotogrande having benefited from the strong competition provided by Golfing Union of Ireland excursions to Argentina, South Africa and Spain.

“The game is good. We’ve had a busy start to the year out in Argentina, then South Africa and Spain so far and had a lot nicer weather to play in,” Gleeson told The Irish Examiner as the GUI unveiled the new Under Armour uniforms its national teams will be wearing from next week.
