Douglas Golf Club will realise the fruition of a two-year plan tomorrow as it plays host to the 2023 European Senior Men’s and Senior Women’s Championships.

A year on from a successful staging of the Irish Senior Men’s Amateur Open, the 6,500-yard parkland course is welcoming 144 golfers from across the continent for what Douglas GC general manager John McHenry sees as an ideal fit for both his club and the event.
