Golfing Ireland

One word - BEAUTIFUL!!
* Old Head Golf Links - we were constantly in awe of the views, it was hard to concentrate on the golf. Most holes were 400 feet above the Atlantic Ocean and going after a wayward shot was NOT an option (Deb only lost 1 pinkie). We thoroughly enjoyed the round with Jim & Pat McKissick from Muncie and our 4 caddies.
* The K Club - if ever a golf course reflected the personality of its architect, it is surely the Arnold Palmer design at the Kildare Club. It is a spectacular course even at 9:30 in the morning after a heavy night's rain. Not only was she host to the 2006 Ryder Cup match, but Big Break Ireland as well. BUT, following Charles Kelley, band member of US country-rock group Lady Antebellum was a treat as well!
* the North Coast - (Portrush) one of the BEST courses Ireland has to offer, Portrush is home to 2010 US Open winner Graeme McDowell & Darren Clarke (no sightings though) and the recent Irish Open.
With stunning views, this links course should make your MUST play list.

WE'LL BE BACK!
