Golf Travel Ireland-Like The Pros


by BILL GIERING

Where do the chefs really eat? And where do the golf travel pros play when they go on a golfing holiday?

If you are a want-a-be world golf traveler who has a passport but has yet to pull the trigger on a lavish golf holiday this may be the answer you have been waiting for. There has never been a better time for you and your partner to travel to Europe... you may never see air travel and golf prices at these low prices again.

Where Do The Golf Travel Pros Play?

Did you ever wonder where the golf tour operators go when they get together to play some golf/ party/ and spoil themselves with wonderful rooms, amenities and foods? This year like many other years the NAGTOA (Northwest Ireland Golf Challenge) and quests are heading to Northwest Ireland. So if you are interested in playing some spectacular links courses in a friendly two-person format with daily team prizes and inhaling the beauty of the Irish countryside this golf travel Ireland trip may be the golf trip for you.

This year a limited lucky few will be able to join the North American Golf Tour Operators' Alliance from September 12 -19th in their Golf Challenge 2009 and a golf travel Ireland trip. This is the type of group that knows great courses and knows great hotels and most importantly they know how to have a great time. The Challenge will be played on historic golf travel Ireland courses in the northwest of Ireland like Carne Golf Links, County Sligo Golf Club, Enniscrone Golf Club and Connemara Links.

The group will be staying at Abbeyglen Castle Hotel with large comfortable rooms and cozy working fireplaces. The Castle, with its new spa facilities and afternoon tea is owned by Paul & Brian Hughes, wonderful characters who always provide laughter and entertainment during the stay.

After golf the Moylett family who have run the Downhill House Hotel for three generations will also invite you to party and relax. Take time to wander through their wonderful gardens overlooking Bronsa Falls which provide a tranquil environment after a long day of your golf travel Ireland trip. There are also a couple swimming pools and a Jacuzzi for that occasional sore back and a sauna to sweat-out any late night effects of the many planned parties.

This is a real opportunity to save money while joining some interesting and fun people on a well planned Ireland golf trip. Put yourself in the pros hands because nothing is better than playing and partying with a group of travel pros who are experts at bringing together new friends for a little friendly, fun golf competition.

Side Notes
On Ireland

Who says it rains in Ireland? We had two holes of rain in eight days on our golf travel Ireland trip, although we were told that it had rained quite often this past summer.
Guinness tastes much better in Ireland than it does in the States.
They say it does not travel well and must be consumed soon after it is brewed. We did!!

Pubs in Ireland?

Yes, there are a lot of pubs, every little hamlet has one as well as on most streets in the larger cities. Remember the name Rory McIlroy. He is only 18, but the Irish consider him the next Tiger Woods. He has won every amateur title in Ireland and just turned professional last week. Don't be surprised if he doesn't challenge Padraig Harrington and Darren Clarke as the top player in Ireland soon.
