So the Road Trip is on to the K Club! I'm more excited than a kid on Christmas Eve. I'm bringing my father-in-law who will be 60 next week. Is that a good birthday present or what!!
Leaving on Thursday at 5.45am and heading down for a 9.10am tee-time at Headford for a game with none other than Dave Ireland. Yes, I plan to spend a lot of money at the K Club so I need to clean him out over 36 holes to pay for it all, LOL. We are playing a PM game at his course, Hollywood Lakes after a hearty lunch. That's going to be a long day swinging a club.
Then a celebration (for me!) dinner and onto Dublin city that night. Crashing at a friends after a few creamy pints of Guinness at his local pub. And then heading out early doors on Friday am to join the 45K others golf nuts at the K Club to watch the first matches off.
Will spend the day wandering round in what looks like mixed weather forecasts. Expecting rain, sun and plenty of wind as we get the tail end of a US storm you guys kinds sent our way. Gordon, the fellow's name is.
Looking at the rules and regulations for the K Club...
Get this...
No cameras, no mobiles, no palms / blackberries, no cases, no chairs or boxes LOL, no bicycles or animals LMAO! And I was planning to bring my sheep!
Anyway, full report to follow in due course, just no photos of Ryder Cup action . You will have to make do with the photos of Dave's 25 club bag etc.
