Trick shot golfer David Edwards is set to appear at the Solheim Cup when Europe's leading ladies take on their US counterparts.

Edwards will be demonstrating his unique talents ahead of the opening ceremony at Killeen Castle on September 23 to 25. The show is set to include his world record breaking scissor shots routine.

The former European Tour professional is world-renowned for the unconventional and bizarre equipment he uses to showcase his mastery and control of the ball. He even throws in a few impersonations for good measure.

David Edwards said: "I performed last year at the Ryder Cup at Celtic Manor so I am very much looking forward to appearing at the Solheim Cup in Ireland.

"The atmosphere at such a prestigious team event will be tense in the build-up and I think everyone welcomes a little light relief. I have appeared many times in Ireland and I know they enjoy the show and seeing what you can do with the golf swing."

The show will start at 4pm on Thursday September 22 on the first tee at Killeen Caslte.

Edwards is also taking his show overseas to America, where he will perform at The Concession Golf Club in Florida before returning to the UK for The London Golf Show at Earls Court in November.
