Great Golf Courses of Ireland by John Redmond

Great Golf Courses of Ireland by John Redmond

This book offers a celebration of golf in Ireland. It looks at 30 leading links and course, from the magnificent natural surroundings of Portmarnock and Portrush, developed almost 100 years ago, to the more recent parkland courses of Mount Juliet and Kildare Hotel and Country Club. Each course is discussed in detail, telling its history, of the famous players with which it is associated, and, of course, some of the legends: like the goats at Lahinch which doubled as weather forecasters; or the player at Killarney in 1957 who sliced a ball into the lake and killed a trout tht was rising to a fly; or Eric Fiddian, who in 1932, had two holes in one in the final round of the Irish Open Amateur Championship and lost his match.
