Order of Merit to be introduced for 2024

The DIGA committee has decided to introduce an Order of Merit for 2024 as a way of making our golf events more exciting and motivating.    

Inaugural Three Nations Tournament to be held 9th & 10th September 2024 at Stackstown Golf Club, Dublin.

DIGA are looking forward to welcoming the Disabled Golf Association (DGA) from England and the Welsh Disabled Golf Association to play in an inaugural tournament in September 2024.  Final details are yet to be agreed but early plans will see three teams of 8 golfers compete over a two-day competition.  The practice day will coincide with DIGA's second Leinster event of 2024, so all DIGA golfers will have a great opportunity to meet our English and Welsh friends. 

The selection process has yet to be confirmed but a number of places will be offered to leading figures on the Order of Merit with 'captain's picks' filling out the rest.  Both teams must feature at least one lady golfer.   More updates will be shared on this page, and our social media platforms.

 

The venue will be Stackstown Golf Club, which nestles on the foothills of the Dublin mountains.  This club is well known for where Padraig Harrington played his amateur golf.  Since the foundation of the Club in 1976, the course has grown into one of the most respected and attractive golf venues in Dublin.  Padraig Harrington’s input into the design of the course has resulted in a flexible 20-hole layout which provides a challenge for golfers of all skill levels.
