Here’s a New-Year thought, courtesy of Pat Ruddy at The European Club: A recent study found that the average golfer walks about 900 miles a year. Another study found that golfers drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year. Which means that your typical golfer gets about 41 miles to the gallon.

Portmarnock Golf Club, a true test awaits

by Cameron Reid on May 11, 2010

Portmarnock Golf Club, is arguably the most distinguished club in the Republic of Ireland.  A private members club that has a proud history and is built on the traditions of the game but at the same time is most welcoming to the visiting golfer.  I recently played the links on a soft April day in short sleeves and enough of a breeze to really add to the challenge.  A recent spell of dry weather has left the links firm for this time of year and downwind you need to allow for the ball rolling out.  This is fine as the greens at Portmarnock are vast, but you do need to have a good feel for distance and hit the right sort of approach to get it close.

O’Callaghan Hotels, Dublin

by PerryGolf Staff on March 3, 2010

Dublin City Centre is the perfect place to be based for a few nights as you can play some of the great courses in the surrounding area – Portmarnock, European Club, The Island, K-Club and County Louth to name but a few.

It’s also a city blessed with five star properties; however, as is the case with all major cities, these can prove to be on the expensive side for the average traveller.  There are however excellent, yet relatively inexpensive options in the city centre  courtesy of the O’Callaghan Group; a privately owned Irish group of hotels.  They own four properties, all in ideal locations within the city centre; either overlooking Merrion Square or Stephen’s Green; making them perfect for exploring the city’s fantastic shops, sights, restaurants and bars.

The Birthplace of Guinness

by PerryGolf Staff on February 28, 2010

A trip to Dublin is a must when visiting the Emerald Isle.  Whilst there, I recommend you take in all that the city has to offer; whether it be the history, local sights, the amazing cuisine or the local liquor.  On a recent trip there, I decided to do some sightseeing associated with the latter.  Everyone is familiar with Ireland’s number one export “Guinness” and the associated side effects.  I therefore decided to educate myself on the origins of this beer and the brewing process.
