Topic: ISG Ireland trip

G’day Styles,

I’m planning on being in Ireland in mid-late March for my brothers wedding (his fiance is Irish) and will be there for about a fortnight. Will definitely have my sticks as we’re flying over on a round-the-world ticket so will be visiting continental Europe and US on the trip as well. If the idea does go ahead and ends up being late March, please let me know.

Also, any suggestions for courses to play around Co. Sligo as that is where we’ll be based initially?

Scarlett,

Some great courses in that part of the world! The fantatstic Rosses Point is right beside Sligo. A little further is another fantastic course Enniscrone. Those two alone will make your trip even more memorable. You could also look at some of the great links courses of Donegal such as Murvagh, Ballyliffen or Rosapenna.

You’ll have a blast either way. Castle Dargan is also in the area. Let me know where you will be staying and playing and I can help you further.

Not a definite but interested none the less. Will keep this in mind, particularly if it fits in with a US tour talked about by Lag.

Interested here too – will be going to Canada for the Police and Fire Games in August 09, then the intent is a rail trip across Europe – depends on dates and stuff – great idea!

Political Correctness is doctrine fostered by a delusional minority and by the media, which holds forth the proposition it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

Impossible – it’s only an opinion, not a fact!

small geography lesson. Last I checked there isn’t a train out of Canada that goes to Europe. Just thought I would give you the heads up on that one!!! Probably only a minor issue.

Sounds like a brilliant idea Styles; I’m keen subject to costs

Styles,

Will throw my hat is as well. I will be in Europe in late May/Early June 09 (maybe longer if I hang around for the Ashes cricket). Will be based in London, but only a hop and skip over to Ireland. Missed Ballybunion and Royal Portrush on my last visit.

Cheers, Malvern

Sounds excellent Styles….Unfortunately I will probably have to join Have Clubs in a couple of years.

Topic: ISG Ireland trip

Thanks Jane. I’ll have a look.

Topic: ISG Ireland trip

Depending on price and dates, I would be very interested.
Sounds like a fantastic idea. I have just recently met a person who runs a specific golf tours business. Might be worth having a look at the website and having a chat with him to see if he can help.

Topic: ISG Ireland trip

Ok, good to know there is a bit of interest.

I’ll get a ballpark figure for a 15-20 day trip.

Topic: ISG Ireland trip

Will it cost $1, $2 or $3.. and how many zeroes will be behind it?

Have got long service due in June so would def be interested in a July August trip. The other half loves Dublin and we have talked about going back and seeing a bit more so even if she didn’t want to bring her clubs I am sure she would be happy as belting down a pint or 12

Topic: ISG Ireland trip

i’m interested,
was thinking of going over for a game or two of the ashes and also to play some golf in scotland 2009

keep me posted

Topic: ISG Ireland trip

Fantastic idea Styles. I am semi-retired and very interested.However it’s a long way to (Tipperary!) for just a week – I would prefer a bit longer – at least 15 days.

Topic: ISG Ireland trip

Styles,

I’d definitely be up for heading there again. Pretty sure my girlfriend would want to join us too.

Topic: ISG Ireland trip

My wife (born and bred in Dublin) always uses the adage of April showers bring forth May rains.

I recall the May rains when last there. Not sure if I recall if it stopped raining in 2 weeks.

Take your wet weather gear.

Topic: ISG Ireland trip

Yes, you can attend Racin… :)

Topic: ISG Ireland trip

Women allowed?

Topic: ISG Ireland trip

I also like the idea, have been wanting to have a golfing holiday, the missus would probably be keen too, and she does play golf

But like gribbles, very advance warning would be needed to organise time off from work and budget

Topic: ISG Ireland trip

i think its a great idea styles- i would be interested, but would definately need to know at least 4 or 5 months in advance to work out my budget, time off from work etc.

Love the idea though mate

Topic: ISG Ireland trip

Brilliant Idea.

I unfortunately would not be able to participate in the next couple of years due to family obligations – but a brilliant idea all the same. Good luck with it

Topic: ISG Ireland trip

This was something Guru and I discussed when he was in Ireland last week. The idea would be a week or ten day long accompanied tour of Ireland and maybe Scotland.

At this point I’m just determining if there is enough interest to look into it.

Please use this thread to let me know if you would be interested in being part of a trip if it was organised.

I have no plans in place beyond this initial determination of interest but I would suggest that a trip would have plenty of golf on some of Ireland’s greats and a couple of rest/shopping/tourist days to see the country and some of its magnificent views.

I would imagine that it would be easily possible to have a non golfing partner with you if you wanted to bring the wife/girlfriend/husband/significant other with you as well.

Please don’t ask about cost yet as that will be affected by numbers but the ball park figure will be what you would expect to pay for a Sydney to Dublin flight and good standard hotels during the stay. Where I hope to make things better is by using the numbers to get cheaper golf on the various courses that you might play.

I would hope to get Guru, Dart and Bio on board as well who could potentially do golf schools/lessons during the holiday. (Don’t tell them though as I have yet to run it past them!)

Anyway, lets be having you.

ps I think that April/May is the best time for such a visit but it could be pushed back to July/August as well.

Thanks for the redirect there Virge:)

I would love to help – but my book is bit full at present.

Advantage custom golf in Chatswood would be a good start.
