Mark Kennelly has more reasons than being Golf Ireland chief executive for his excitement at Killarney Golf & Fishing Club’s staging of the European Amateur Team Championship this week.

The top 16 nations in elite men’s amateur golf are in the Kerry town to play Killarney’s renowned Killeen course this week with the first of two days of stroke play getting underway on Tuesday morning to be followed by three days of match play as teams battle for medals or strive to avoid relegation to Division 2.
