Killymoon Golf Club launch new Schools’ Cup competition

Killymoon Golf Club in Cookstown are launching an exciting new initiative to promote junior golf.

The idea of the ‘Killymoon Schools’ Cup’ began following a conversation between Anthony McCann, club captain and Tyrone All Star Legend Peter Canavan at the fundraising day for the new Holy Trinity College.

s a PE teacher Peter believed that there should to be other sports available to children outside of the usual soccer, gaelic, hockey etc.

Having recently taken up the sport himself he believed golf could provide an ideal opportunity for those that are not necessarily interested in contact sports to get involved. The club captain passed on the idea to the club’’s events organiser Oisin Monaghan and after initial contact with schools the club were asked if they had considered a competition format.
