Eamonn Lynch

"Golf's Number 1 Blog and multi-award winning website, this hilarious golfing odyssey takes an irreverent and satirical look into the golfing world. News, gossip and reviews from inside and outside the ropes."
Currently Kevin Markham "is travelling around Ireland in a camper van, playing and reviewing every 18 hole golf course. The results will appear in a book to be published by Collins Press in Spring 2009". This Blog is about his travels - "the places I go, the people I meet and the courses themselves - as well as the articles that have been published in local newspapers."
