With the Millennium celebration just over a year away the Golfing Union of Ireland are putting the final touches to an All-Ireland Millennium Singles championship to mark the occasion. The competition will be open to all golfers and will be run in four classes. The format is for the winner in each of the four classes from each club to go forward to an area final and then to the county final, with the winners meeting in the All-Ireland final in early September 2000 at Newlands in Dublin.
