19 international golf federations will be represented with 138 athletes taking to the course in the competition. The championship is divided into individual and team competitions, with team Ireland hoping for a repeat of the success from the 2016 edition of the competition in Brive, France when Robin Dawson (brother of Anna Dawson) took gold in the men’s competition, while the men’s team took home home silver medals in second place overall.
