This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Went a few years ago…… by irishguard78

We used a planner to arrange the golf rounds. I would guess you could do it yourself, but comparing should be easy enough. There are north and south golf areas to play. We focused on the southern courses. So before you decide I’m wrong for this, we stayed at Doonbeg. It is on the ocean, south of Galway, west of Limerick. Yea yea yea, it’s a Trump hotel, but the course is fun and the hotel was nice and in a good location for some of the courses. As I recall, it was in the €350 a night range. And about halfway through, we moved to Killarney, which has a really fun vibe….pubs with live music and horse racing nearby.

Golf….there are plenty of good courses, all within a reasonable drive from Doonbeg. Ballybunion, Lahinch, Tralee, Old Head, Waterville…..my favorite course was Waterville, with Lahinch a close second. Not sure about carts at any of the courses, we walked them all.
