Golf

Golf has been played in Co. Roscommon for over 100 years. This is our very small collection of material relating to golf in the county. We would love to have more examples of photographs, documents and ephemera for the sport in the county. If you have such material that you no longer require and would like to give it a good home, please contact us.
