Irish teams to skip European Championships

The ILGU has decided not to send teams to this year’s rearranged European Team Championships

Sinead Heraty, ILGU Chief Executive, said: “To bring athletes to various countries at a time when the health risk associated with international travel is relatively uncertain ultimately was the deciding factor.”

The Irish Ladies Golf Union has decided not to send teams to this year’s rearranged European Team Championships due to concerns over their golfers’ safety and development during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.

The ILGU made the announcement on Friday following their High Performance Committee’s decision to stay away from the Women’s, Girl’s, and Senior Women’s Europeans in Sweden, Slovakia, and Bulgaria respectively.
