These disparate characters were selected from a shortlist of six to go on a golf tour to south-west Ireland in October (when it doesn’t get much wetter or windier). The tour itinerary includes playing (in a manner of means) the following courses: Old Head (Monday), Waterville (Tuesday), Tralee (Wednesday), Ballybunion Old (Thursday) and Lahinch Old (Friday) – just five out of the top eight courses in Ireland according to Google!

StevieE (tour planner and boy racer); Simon (StevieE’s brother, who described himself as “bald and even worse at golf than his brother” – he says he’s really only on the trip for the Guinness); Ken (The Rev: “please see the attached photo from my high school yearbook. As you can see I once had a text book golf swing. Of course I also had a text book physique. Unfortunately, my current game resembles my current body shape - wide and out of control!”); Christian (Ken’s son and the best golfer on the Norwegian music scene); Barry (who simply describes himself as “very worldly” – we’ll soon put an end to that!) and StevieB (red wine drinker and former golfer - now considered to be “every golfer’s dream opponent”).
The tour takes place 23-30 October 2010… approximately.
It’ll be interesting!

Oh well, we'll just have to make the best of it!
