Ireland Golf Extravaganza

Anxiously awaiting our flight to Dublin where we will meet Mo’s brother Peter and his wife Gloria to start our circumnavigation of the Island of Ireland, including Northern Ireland, for LOTS of golf and plenty of sightseeing. Including flight days we will be on the road for 27 days.

This adventure was partially inspired by Tom Coyne’s book “A Course Called Ireland” (well worth the read) where he visits every links course for the entire two countries. Our adventure falls well short of that but we are going to do battle with 15 of the best of the best including a number ranked very highly on the world’s top 100 list.

This shows our course schedule although #11 (Lahinch) has switched dates with #11. Not shown is #15 The European Club near Arklow on the south east coast.

Along the way we will be visiting numerous landmarks, learning the correct way to drink Guinness (is there a wrong way), determining if Irish whiskey is better than Scotch (over to you Mo) and hoping we don’t get blown into one of the various seas and oceans that surround Ireland. Fingers crossed.

We will have a summary of our touring Dublin in the next day or two once we’ve got our sea legs. Stay tuned.
