Golf Vacations In Ireland
Ireland Golf Vacations Combine Golf, Whiskey And Fishing
Ireland golf vacations combine a golfing experience in two countries: Eire, or the Irish Republic, and Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom. However, you would not notice by the welcome you will receive in each part of the island. The Emerald Isle is well named after its lush greenery, and the golf courses in Ireland make full use of that.
In fact, many of the Irish golf courses are links courses, such as Royal Portrush, used for the Senior British Open, and Ballybunion, a links course in County Kerry that is situated in a small seaside town. Ballybunion is rated among the top ten golf courses in the world, and is a typical links course, built among sand dunes on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. Tom Watson loves it.
Too Many Irish Golf Courses to Name
There is little point in naming the famous Irish golf courses since it would take more room that is available here, so let s just assume that all the courses you play on your Irish golfing vacation will be good ones. What you need to know now is what else Ireland has to offer.
Well, there is the Irish whiskey, the Irish stout such as Murphy s or Guinness, and the Irish welcome. There are leprechauns, the Blarney Stone and the fantastic Dublin Bay prawns. There is everything for every member of the family, from the bright lights of Dublin, Galway and Cork to the seaside resorts and funfairs than dot the coastline of Ireland from Dublin, and right round back to Dublin again.
Whatever golfing vacation package you choose, you will find plenty for the family to do. There are walks, water sports, fishing of all kinds, both inland and sea fishing try the shark fishing if you have the guts for it and also the people. Only in Ireland will find grocery stores with a small bar round the back, where you are offered a drink while you wait until the official opening time!
Enjoy the Vacation but Don t Forget the Golf
Many people end up forgetting the golf and just enjoying the vacation. It s that kind of place. If, however, you are a serious golf player, then you will not be short of golf courses or people to play against. The golf schools are excellent, with a wealth of experience in teaching the game. After all, this is the home of Padraig Harrington, Darren Clarke and Paul McGinley, and if you are wondering who they are, ask the American Ryder Cup team!
There is a lot to do during Ireland golf vacations, and lots of people willing to teach you how to do it properly. When it comes to golf and entertainment the Irish excel, and you will enjoy an experience that you will always remember. Great golf and a great time for everybody!

Any good Irish or golf jokes? Here's mine: A man took a golfing vacation in Ireland. He hit a wild shot into
a deep thicket. After much searching, he finally found his ball laying next to a leprechaun. The little guy had been hit on the head by the ball and was out cold. The golfer revived the leprechaun and upon waking, he said "What happened?" The man said, "I must admit that my golf ball hit you on the head. You weren't breathing, so I gave you mouth to mouth. I am terribly sorry for hurting you." The leprechaun was touched by the man's honesty and kindness, so he offered him three wishes. The golfer declined, saying he was just blessed knowing that the leprechaun would be OK. After the man left to continue his game, the leprechaun decided to grant him three wishes any way, and gave him what the leprechaun himself would have wanted: 1) A great golf game 2) Endless wealth and 3) A great sex life.
A few years passed and the same golfer took the same vacation and hit the same wild shot into the same thicket, and after much searching, ran into the same leprechaun........
The greeted each other. The leprechaun asks, "So how have you been? How's your golf game?"
The man said, "It is amazing! I hit under par every time I golf."
"And how is your financial situation?" asked the little man.
"Well, funny you should ask. It is the strangest thing, but every time I put my hand in my pocket, I pull out a hundred dollar bill," said the golfer.
"That's wonderful," said the leprechaun. "And if you don't mind me getting personal, how has your sex life been?"
The golfer got red in the face and said, "Well, it's OK."
The leprechaun was astounded. The other wishes came true--what happened to this one? "What do you mean OK? How many times do you have sex in a week?"
"Oh, maybe three or four times."
"Only three or four?" cried the leprechaun.
The golfer replied, "Well, I didn't think that was too bad for a priest with a small parish..."
