WORLD TOP TEN
PLACING FOR TOM ON WORLD TOUR RANKINGS

2023 was another successful year for golfer Tom Doherty who took on the the international disability golf circuit in the stableford category.
“Success for me is more than giving it my all on the fairways and greens of the golf course. It is also about meeting up with my fellow competitors in the club house after our golfing day is done. We share stories of sporting challenges pertaining to that days golf and to life challenges as individuals with a disability”, Tom told Killarney Outlook.
“This for me has created a truly diverse international and ever increasing group of friends as my travels this year took me to England, France and Italy. My season began last May with a journey to Biarritz for the Paragolf French open where I was delighted to take home the bronze medal. This was quickly followed up with a runner up placing on the English circuit. The 2nd Irish open for players with a disability was staged during the month of June in Roganstown, Co Dublin. With a strong international field I finished just outside the honours with a forth placing, over the two day competition. On then to September, where l again qualified for European Stableford, match play finals”, he added.
“These finals took place in North Hants outside London, which also happens to be the home course of Justin Rose. I made it to the semi-finals losing out to the eventual overall winner Loris Stradi from Italy”, Tom said.
Tom’s season finished up in October with a flight from Dublin to Turin to take part in the European Presidents Cup. “I departed the royal park golf course with a sixth place finish. With the completion of a steady European tour, done and dusted, I sign off my season with a top 10 placing in the world rankings list for golfers with a disability in the stableford category”, a delighted Tom said.
“It was great to see so many young spectators with a disability at the Irish open this year. Also with the announcement of new sponsorship, I am confident that’s next years ISPS Handa Irish Open for Golfers with a Disability will quickly become a leading event on the European circuit”, he said.
“Under the stewardship of Golf, Ireland, I enthusiastically signed up as an ambassador for the “golf 4all champions programme”. This programme brings together golfers with international experience to act as role models. We travel around the country to golf Ireland organised events, telling our stories and encouraging more people with disabilities to get into golf”, Tom added.
There is also a number of nationwide golf outings throughout the year organised by the “disabled and inclusive golf association of Ireland” in conjunction with golf ireland.

An extremely powerful story of the journey of living with depression, anxiety and suicidal ideation is portrayed by Killarney man Neil Kelders in his debut book - The Other Side: A Memoir of Hope in the Midst of Depression.
Neil Kelders from Woodlawn in Killarney is a mental health and wellbeing advocate, coach and international speaker, who since his teenage years has suffered from depression, anxiety and suicidal ideation. After 21 years of suffering alone, Neil talked for the first time. Through that simple act, Neil took responsibility through action, and his life was never the same again. His journey has led him to speak to thousands of people worldwide. His mission is to give people a better understanding of what it means to live with mental health problems, and give hope to those struggling to find their way through life.

Neil’s book, which will be released on Amazon on Wednesday next 23rd November , looks back at his life when experienced depression and anxiety and felt he was watching life from the outside with everyone on the move around him. The serverity of what Neil was going through let him to have suidical thoughs and believing he had tried everything to help himself, he closed his eyes to the world. Then, one day for some unknown reason, Neil spoke. He spoke for the very first time about what was going on inside. This was his first step towards the Other Side.
In The Other Side, Neil Kelders, now an international speaker, mental health advocate and author, identifies the mindsets that make it difficult for us to change. Drawing on his own battles, and with his signature humour, Neil’s message is one of hope despite all. Blending autobiography, philosophical insights and practical, action-steps for change, The Other Side is an insight into how a better life is possible. Each chapter contains ‘Neil’s Notes’, practical tools and actions you can try. Each book comes with a QR code to a free eBook, which contains additional tools and practical advice.
As long as we’re living and breathing, it is always possible to live a better life. The good news is that by following Neil’s story and advice, change and taking action will get easier. The ‘Other Side’ is not perfection, it’s living with hope in the midst of everything.
The book is a memoir/self-help book and will be available for purchase on Amazon on Wednesday next 23rd November.
