    Default Ireland, England and Wales.

    This is my first post for probably 10 years or so ...

    But I thought I'd let you know, I'm off to Ireland, England and Scotland for 6 weeks soon. About 20-25 games organized.

    So there.

    Yeah.

    Marto.

    Make sure you have a hit in the practice net at Ardglass. There is nothing like it anywhere in the world.

    It's behind the first tee inside the old castle walls

    Jaysus, it's making me tired looking at the list, albeit it's a cracker (craicer)

    We are doing similar in that we are probably spending 10ish days around Donegal after looping up through Louth, RCD and Portrush.

    Just on your English leg, do you have time for Hillside, next to Birkdale, its outstanding.

    No time for Hillside ... Royal Lytham under repair ... got a nice invite to play Formby. Staying at Formby Hall ... probably won't even play that ..

    Ok ... I'm back from my holiday.

    Pissed down the whole time.

    Oh ... sorry ... no it didn't. I got probably 4 holes of rain the whole time I was there ... so very lucky.

    Carne, Formby and Pennard the stand-outs.

    Yeah.
