Golf on the Links of Ireland features over 30 golf courses found along the spectacular coastline of Ireland. The author is a lucky man: he's been blessed with a wonderful wife, five children, and a great son-in-law . and has been fortunate enough to play on over 300 courses in the British Isles and Ireland. With a passion for golf on links courses and with maternal roots lodged in Ireland, he's always dreamed of letting his sons see the unique and disarming beauty of this enchanting island. So, in the summers of 2004 and 2005, two of his sons accompanied him on such a pilgrimage. They wanted to discover the soul of Ireland, to smell the crispness of an Irish morning on a seaside links, to hit that ever-intriguing blind shot over a sand dune. Dave, Mike and their dad played matches on 30 courses - some against each other and some against Irish golf club members. The author can honestly say that, although he's played on all but one of the British Open courses in Scotland and England, his most treasured memories are those matches against local club members. John Low, in a book he wrote in 1903, Concerning Golf, described the merits of match play: "Golf is, from the nature of the game, a friendly affair . eighteen little games, eighteen new starts, eighteen opportunities . and each teeing ground may be a trysting place for fresh avowals of friendship." The author comments: "To taste the salt in the breeze, blowing in off the Irish Sea, always invigorates me. We played The European Club, Doonbeg, Old Head, Waterville, Portstewart, Ballyliffin, and Enniscrone, all respectable tests of golf. We delighted in the artfully crafted greens of the Alister MacKenzie gem at Lahinch and we took a tripback in time in visiting the remote links of Rosapenna - only to find a modern links masterpiece sculpted by Pat Ruddy. Some of our most treasured moments came at the wee nine-holers at Cruit Island, Connemara Isles, Bushfoot, and Spanish Bay. "In the these pages you might find a few tips on raising teenagers, which, as those of you who are parents know, is always an interesting challenge. Read about how Dave and Mike dealt with playing junior golf and eventually high school golf. I have also chronicled a little bit about the relationship with my own father, one that hasn't been as ideal as it could have been. "Many of the courses we played are unknown to the average person. And, that's good, because generally they're not crowded and a three-hour round is the norm, not the exception. M sons learned the essence of Irish golf: simple elegance and stark beauty and amazing hospitality. Well-kept secrets, many of these hidden gems showed us breathtaking scenery. And while most of these courses will never host a British Open, they offer good golf, a round under three and a half hours, and a chance to play with the Irish. So, sit down in your easy chair, open these pages, and join us on the shores of Ireland as we walk down the fairways, over the burns, and around the dunes. Feel the excitement as we battle in our matches. Revel in our birdies, cringe at our triple bogeys. Applaud our victories, mourn our losses, share our laughter. I hope that someday you and yours can take such a trip. Indeed I am a lucky man." For golfers dreaming of a trip to this fascinating land, this book is a must. The following are some excerpts from the book. Chapter 1 - "A family photograph taken in 1918 shows mymother (at the tender age of two months), her mother (born to Irish parents in Pennsylvania), her mother (also born to Irish parents in Pennsylvania), and her mother, Catherine (Kitty) Reed, who was born in Dublin in 1827. The name Reed is not Irish; so perhaps she had an English father. Who knows? But I am lucky to still have this photo of four generations of women, tracing back our roots to the potato famine in Ireland. Kitty would have been 17 when the famine started and she may have left Ireland in a coffin ship bound for America or Canada, eventually winding

An epic Celtic sojourn in search of ancestors, nostalgia, and the world?s greatest round of golf In his thirties, married, and staring down impending fatherhood, Tom Coyne was well familiar with the last refuge of the adult male: the golfing trip. Intent on designing a golf trip to end all others, Coyne looked to Ireland, the place where his father had taught him to love the game years before. As he studied a map of the island and plotted his itinerary, it dawned on Coyne that Ireland was ringed with golf holes. The country began to look like one giant round of golf, so Coyne packed up his clubs and set off to play all of it. And since Irish golfers didn?t take golf carts, neither would he. He would walk the entire way. A Course Called Ireland is the story of a walking- averse golfer who treks his way around an entire country, spending sixteen weeks playing every seaside hole in Ireland and often battling through all four seasons in one Irish afternoon. Coyne plays everything from the top-ranked links in the world to nine-hole courses crowded with livestock. Along the way, he searches out his family?s roots, discovers that a once-poor country has been transformed by an economic boom, and finds that the only thing tougher to escape than Irish sand traps are Irish pubs. By turns hilarious and poetic, A Course Called Ireland is a magnificent tour of a vibrant land and a paean to the world?s greatest game.

For anyone planning a dream golfing vacation to Ireland, Trolleys and Squibs is the most comprehensive guidebook in the market. Frustrated by sketchy guidebooks while on a golfing tour, authors Louise and Rick Miracle decided to compile their own definitive guide to Irish links. In addition to its practical travel tips, this book offers insightful essays -- including several by leading figures in Irish golf -- that explain the history and particular character of golfing in Ireland. Vacation planners will especially love the book's extensive, geographically balanced coverage of individual golf courses, presented by way of two whimsically named lists. The Trolleys List contains thorough summaries of 153 courses, including small maps and directions for getting there, scorecard data, descriptions of each course's layout and club facilities, and recommendations on local restaurants and hotels. The Squibs List offers basic information -- addresses, phone numbers, brief descriptions -- about 138 additional golf courses. With Trolleys and Squibs, you can plan a detailed itinerary and make your reservations, even before landing on Irish shores (though armchair travelers as well will gain immense enjoyment from the colorful portraits of the courses and countryside).

Unlike many other books written by American writers for an Aemrican market, Golfing in Ireland is notable in that real understanding, humour and irreverence are key to the visitor being told exactly what they need to know.-The KerrymanIreland is Europe's hottest golfing destination and one of the most popular golf venues for Americans eager to sample the fabled links. Author Rob Armstrong predicted the Irish golf boom in the first edition of Golfing in Ireland; in the third, he revisits old courses that have undergone revision or expansion and uncovers the best of Ireland's new courses. In his crisp, irreverent style, he also points out those courses that have not stood up, those that have been poorly maintained or managed, and those that have simply proved disappointing.Profiled in this edition are: the magnificent Old Head Golf Club in County Cork, one of the most exciting new golf courses in the world; the extraordinarily beautiful new Ring of Kerry Golf and Country Club in County Kerry that overlooks Kenmare Bay; and the expanded golf complex at Ballyliffin in County Donegal. He also reviews several new hotels and restaurants that cater to golfers and are near some of Ireland's best courses. Armstrong's travel tips include a discussion of the Euro, which will soon become the unit of currency in the Irish Republic, and a warning about the proliferation of Irish golf tours.
