Woke up to pouring rain and high winds. One weather forecast we saw talked of two inches of rain and winds gusting at 60mph. It was all very depressing as, for most of us, Ballybunion was the key day of the tour. Amazingly, the rain had stopped by the time we teed off – then resumed after four holes but only lasted for 45 minutes or so and we were able to complete our rounds in the dry! Fantastic golf course – everything that we’d anticipated (and more!).
Ken won the day, with me coming second, Simon third and SteveE fourth – leaving Ken just two points ahead of SteveE as far as the overall leadership was concerned.
We drove north, caught the ferry across the River Shannon and ended up at Lahinch by nightfall – staying at the Atlantic Hotel. The rooms were far more basic than Castle Ross but we enjoyed a really beautiful meal in the hotel (and the odd glass of Guinness) before bedtime.
