The U.S. Open may have ended, with Gary Woodland as the reigning champion, but golf season in Ireland is just revving up. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Take part in the competition, soak up the festivities from the crowd, or invite an old colleague or new client to the course. Either way, celebrate the season at one of these five golf events coming to Ireland in July and August (and grab a few promotional products to take along). 

1. Dubai Duty Free Irish Open: July 4 - 7

If you missed out on tickets for one of the top festivals hitting Irish soil this summer, don’t fret -- the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open isn’t yet sold out, and it’s set to be one of the best events of the season. Champions Darren Clarke and Rory McIlroy are scheduled to host this year’s star-studded tournament, and the name of the game is fun, laughter and good craic. 

 

Whether you’re looking for a summer weekend escape or hoping to network among like-minded golf enthusiasts, this event won’t disappoint. With the Lahinch Live Stage, a new two-day wellness event and various entertainment acts, there’s something for everyone. Get your colleagues and clients excited with a zipped golf bag filled with tees, a bent repair tool and a poker chip. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Single Stable Open Golf Competition: July 7

With unbeatable views of the Mourne Mountains and Boyne Valley, the Bellewstown Golf Club is the perfect location for a mid-summer competition. This Single Stable Open is sponsored by the Boyne Valley Hotel and Country Club, so prizes are highly covetable: Third place receives a Bellewstown Golf Club selection pack. Second place receives dinner for two at the Boyne Valley Hotel. And the prestigious first place wins an overnight stay for two at the 18th century accommodation.  

 

Try your hand at the green, or relax on the sidelines with your family or colleagues. Either way, ensure that the Irish weather doesn’t ruin the day with an auto opening golf umbrella. Hint: Print it with your company’s logo for an easy promotional opportunity.

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. The Open 2019 at Royal Portrush Golf Club: July 14 - 21

Celebrating its 148th year, this Open returns to the Royal Portrush Golf Club in Northern Ireland for the first time since 1951. This is only the second time in those nearly 150 years that the tournament will be hosted outside of Scotland or England, so don’t miss the chance to attend on your home island! And with a gorgeous backdrop of the Irish cliffs and ocean, this will be one for the ages. 

 

A can’t-miss Irish event such as this is best attended in good-natured groups, so bring your entire office or team along for an unforgettable weekend. You can order these soft feel golf balls in bulk (and with your company logo) as a practical souvenir for the event. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. Whole in 1 Golf Business Networking Event: August 14

 

Why hold a meeting in your cold Dublin office building when you could trade ideas over tee time? Get prepared for the Fall quarter at the Business Networking Event hosted by  Whole in 1 Golf , where you and a colleague can network with local businesses in a relaxed (hopefully sunny) environment. 

 

Nurture professional relationships, enjoy complimentary refreshments and practice your swing all at the Bray Golf Club this August. But don’t come empty handed: These promotional golf pencils will come in handy when you’re exchanging LinkedIn information over a swing!

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. The Golf Digest Open at Millicent Golf Club: August 16

Located a convenient 30 minutes from Dublin, this Golf Digest Open is nestled in between the River Liffey and the Wicklow Mountains, and uses its natural landscape to its full advantage. With competitions in various categories, you can play to your strengths -- and maybe walk away with a prize! All winners are also invited to the Golf Digest Open Grand Final, which will be held in November, and will have the chance to win the Golf Digest Open Champions Cup, the largest silver trophy in the history of Irish sport. 

 

Suited for golfers of all levels, this tournament is perfect for a relaxed afternoon put or a friendly competition. Go for gold with this sleek gents golf glove, sure to grab the attention of a potential client or colleague.
