Ireland Golf

Ireland Golf posts cover the long Irish links tradition that gives the country some of the most respected courses in the world. Articles look at Royal County Down on the Mournes coast, Portmarnock outside Dublin, Ballybunion and Lahinch on the west coast, Old Head of Kinsale on its dramatic cliff promontory, the K Club for the Ryder Cup memory, the modern Doonbeg now run as Trump International, and the smaller heathland courses around Wicklow. There are practical notes on the cost of a tee time at the headline links, on caddies and on the very real wind that turns a calm round into a survival challenge.
