Rolo - delighted you won the prize.  Its a pity that its that particular golf course - you know its been the centre of some nasty protests with the locals? 

I'm afraid that on principle I won't be able to go with you - they've shut off access to what should be an amenity for all, I hate golf and you haven't asked me!smiley2

Seriously though its a sad story. Link below.

Blondie, it's actually for four and it was a Four Person Team thing that we won so all four of us are going, me, my Da and two of my mates.

X, I'm reasonably familiar with the issues the locals have and would sympathise with them, but in this particular case I'll have to put aside my moral objections and suffer on.

The bleedin' Green Fees are normally € 275 per person.

You can tie your high horse to the chain link fence outside and leave him to enjoy the bit of the view that's left for the plebs!

Ah only messing - enjoy it, the views will be amazing if you get good weather - you might even see some cetaceans.

Cetaceans are whales and dolphins - used to be a great spot to see them from apparently.  I've never seen any in Irish waters unfortunately, maybe this year I'll get lucky.

Of course your horse would be well trained at jumping fences, given his owner.

X on one of my previous visits home we went to Achill Island for Paddy's day as my Sis has a place there.  Anyhow we all had the top row of little appartments and each balcony led to the next.  So Paddy's morning we are all sitting out there and low and behold we spot a whale.  We sat there for about an hour just watching him play and splash only to find it was a rock!!!!!... Well if you only heard the oooohhh's and ahhhhhh's about the lovely whale....

Must of been all those pints the night before!!!!!!

Nothing to do with me - I was sitting in with my then little nine month old....

It was Rolo - a big black thing way out at sea - looked very much like a whale but after an hour in the same spot - something was wrong....

Congrats Rolo, fair play , you'll have a deadly time. You deserve it cos you are a real sports fan and you put good time and effort into everything you do , even the kids and their sports.

 

Enjoy it when the time comes around x

Thanks Star,

Really looking forward to the day, we've decided to fly down and back so we don't have to do an overnight, 'cos with trying to organise the four of us,it was proving very difficult to get a mutually convenient date.
