Mairéad Martin, a Transition Year student in Scoil Mhuire, took part in Champions Weekend held at Portmarnock Golf Club from October 23rd to 25th. The 2015 event was hosted by the Darren Clarke Foundation and all the invited participants, including Mairéad, are champions having won provincial or national tournaments at their respective levels.
Darren, who will captain the next European Ryder Cup Team, focused on the participants’ achievements to date, their goals, their ambitions and the steps they are taking to achieve their golfing ambitions. Mairéad enjoyed clinics, question and answer sessions as well as watching a little rugby on TV with Darren. The highlight of a wonderful weekend was the playing of a few holes of golf with Darren, which Mairéad completed in a very impressive one under par.
