Golf on the Links of Ireland: A Father and His Sons Explore The Coastal Courses of the Emerald Isle by Robert Kroeger
ISBN: 1-4257-0550-2 (Trade Paperback)
ISBN: 1-4257-0551-0 (Hardback)
Pages: 203 TRAVEL / General
Description

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: “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 trip back 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. For golfers dreaming of a trip to this fascinating land, this book is a must.
