Pitch and Putt in Offaly has been given a major boost with funding for the development of a new course In Edenderry being secured. This is the culmination of a lot of work by a dedicated group of people and the PPUI look forward to Eden Pitch and Putt club being an integral part of the Union. In total Pitch and Putt Clubs in 13 counties will receive funding ranging in grants from €2,800 to €30,000.

The grants made available to clubs are for a range of capital programmes including grass cutting equipment, tee box upgrades, heating systems upgrades, equipment shed construction and general course improvements.
