Golf and racing combine for Double Ticket special on one of the great days of sport
It begins with the potentially decisive second rugby Test between Australia and the British & Irish Lions in Melbourne before golfing fans converge on the Montgomerie Course at Carton House, Co Kildare, to watch local heroes Rory McIlroy, Graeme McDowell, Padraig Harrington, Darren Clarke, Shane Lowry etc compete in the third round of the Irish Open.
The plan is to finish the golfing activity in good time to allow fans travel twenty minutes or so down the road to the Curragh for the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby. To make “doubling up” on two of the highest profile sporting events of the year in Irish sport even more attractive, the world of horse racing and professional golf has come together to offer a “Double Ticket” incentive at a cost of €50.
