GolfNow is bringing a little golf magic to Hamilton Dock with a fun, Chipping Challenge for Maritime Mile visitors of all ages. Step up, take aim, and see if you can chip a golf ball into a washing machine in a playful test of skill, accuracy, and nerve.

The challenge pays tribute to one of Northern Ireland’s most memorable sporting TV moments: a young Rory McIlroy showing off his incredible golf skills on the Gerry Kelly show. Now visitors can have their own go at the game that has become part of local golfing folklore.

Entry is completely free with amazing prizes up for grabs. Come along, take your shot, enjoy the craic, and see if you have the short-game skills to land the perfect chip. It is fun, simple…but harder than it looks!

  • When 7 August 2026: 3.00pm - 8.00pm
