Edenderry Golf Club will welcome the most famous trophy in world golf, The Claret Jug, to the clubhouse tomorrow (Wednesday, April 2), as part of the "The Road to the Open."

The arrival of the iconic trophy is being billed as a truly historic moment for the club and local community. The Claret Jug will be on display in Edenderry Golf Club from 2pm until 3.30pm tomorrow and everyone is invited to join club members in celebrating this incredible milestone, and to witness golfing history up close.

The club was chosen by Golf Ireland as one of the venues around the country for a visit of The Claret Jug as part of the nationwide “Road to The Open” tour ahead of The 153rd Open at Royal Portrush.

Edenderry was one of 20 clubs to have been chosen due to their commitment to Disability & Inclusion programmes along with their contribution to the Volunteer of the Year awards.

The arrival of The Claret Jug is a great honour for the Offaly club and a great opportunity for members and the wider community to witness the trophy and have their photo taken alongside it. With Shane Lowry having lifted the Claret Jug the last time the event was held at Portrush this adds even more prestige.
