| Anne,
Try Ouchterard (sp?) north of Galway by around 10 miles.
I believe it's an 18 hole course. The Galway golf club plays there.
If you play Lahinch enjoy the hills and holes.
Cheers,
Paul

| hallo there,
> if you play Lahinch enjoy the hills and the holes ....
well I would like to warn you about the tenth hole on the old course
as I had a memorable experience there about 8 years ago. I don't
want to boast but I was out in 39 which for me is quite surprising
and I had never seen the place before. Getting round is as much
an exercise in orientiering as playing golf so you spend about 5
minutes on each tee studying the card and peering into the distance.
From the tenth tee you can see two flags about 430 yards away and
you have to work out which one you want. I was not sure and spent
some time twisting the card of the course round trying to work it
out. Then I noticed that the two flags had different designs - one
I think was red on white and the other white on red, and I had already
noticed that the flags for the back nine were different to the front
nine. So there was my answer and I cheerfully played up to the right
hand flag of the two and was just about to chip onto the green when
I discovered my mistake. It turned out that the front ten flags
were different to the back eight. Ha Ha Ha. I shan't bother you
with the story of the rest of the round, but I would like to mention
the open cast mine which some mysoginist excavated in front of the
ladies tee on the same hole, and which is classified as a "sand
hazard."
Really it is a most enjoyable and challenging course for holidaymakers
provided you are not prone to nervous breakdowns.
These recollections are based on a distant memory, so you might
like to give us a feedback of how you got on and if my recollection
and impressions are correct.
Best wishes,
Kevin Mannerings@frs

| If you get to Cork I would recommend Clubs at Midleton and Youghal
(although I think Youghal may be private). When you're used to
paying $26 for a round of golf at Stow Acres (if you can get a tee
time), it's a real treat to play in Ireland where many green fees
are less than the price of lunch.
Shoot clear of any moving pinetrees in the distance. I had to
buy my own golfball back from leprechauns three times during
one game...

| Also in Cork, try Monkstown, Douglas and Muskerry. At Muskerry the
course is divided by the sort-of-main road from Cork up through the
Mushera Mountains to such exotic places as Donoughmore, Rylane, Nadd
Bog and Kanturk (The Bould Thady Quill). And don't forget Ballybunion
and Killarney and, of course, the Royal Dublin.
