monday: old head


We were all really looking forward to playing this course – and we weren’t disappointed. A stunning location, laid out on a narrow headland with many of the holes teetering beside vertical cliff faces, dropping down to wild seas (very scary for me!). We were incredibly lucky because, despite a poor weather forecast, we actually managed to complete our rounds in dry (but very windy) conditions – and it started raining immediately we got back to the clubhouse!
We all decided it was the best golf course we’d ever played (and SteveE, Barry+Ken have played quite a few in their time!). SteveE played really well and won the day, Barry came second, Ken third and Christian fourth (sadly, I played very poorly and brought up the rear).
We finished off the day at an Italian restaurant in Killarney before ending up in a bar – where we’d been told we’d be able to enjoy some traditional Irish music. The bar and the Guinness were good but, in truth, the music was pretty dire!
