Only golf trip in my life was to Ireland when I turned 50, over a decade ago. Four of us total.
Landed in Shannon. Played Tralee, Waterville , Ballybunion, and Old Head. Still being treated for PTSD from my round at Ballybunion where it was raining sideways. The graveyard to the right of the first tee set the tone.
Played a very good round at Waterville.
But of course, enjoying Ireland’s beauty with my mates, accompanied by a few pints, some lamb stew and brown bread, made the trip. Friendship is a great treasure in life.
We’ve talked about Scotland. But, no longer have the desire to play 4 straight rounds of golf. I was unaware until recently that St. Andrews has multiple courses.
