Ryder Cup Grants Help Iceland to Chill-out
Possibly no country in the world has felt the icy blasts of the financial deep freeze more that ICELAND, where the banks have been caught up in the cash crisis more keenly than elsewhere…but happily the Ryder Cup is able to help.
For the PGA of Iceland the downturn could not have come at a more frustrating time, just when their home-produced education programme was beginning to produce some encouraging green shoots.
Without available funding the programme would have gone into cold storage but, thanks to a promptly approved grant from the RCEDT, Iceland can continue its campaign to make progress in a country where golf is taking an unprecedented hold in public awareness.
