Two major championships in the books and Irish courses open once more after the Covid-19 lockdown, it really is a good time to be a golf fan on these shores, especially now this year’s Dubai Duty Free Irish Open looms into view.

Kilkenny for a fourth time in the resort’s history having held the European Tour event consecutively between 1993 and 95 as well as the WGC-American Express Championship in 2002 and 04.
