From this week's Castlecomer Notes
Young North Kilkenny golfer Holly Shortall has just been officially selected to play in the KPMG Ladies Irish Open pro-am.
Holly, a daughter of Mark and Róisin Shortall, Coon, will step on to the tee at Carton House on Wednesday, August 28 for the event, which will be headlined by Solheim Cup winner Leona Maguire and Major winner Georgia Hall. She will play 18 holes with a different pro on the front and back nine and will also be interviewed by KPMG in the build-up to the event.
Following on from the pro-am Holly will attend the gala dinner on Wednesday evening which will officially kick off the tournament in Carton House.
Holly, one of three girls selected to compete, earned her spot from competing on the KPMG Irish Kids Golf Tour. She was also selected to be on the Golf Ireland under-12 Area Development panel this year, which is a pathway to represent Ireland at elite level.
