"Unlike many other books written by American writers for an Aemrican market, Golfing in Ireland is notable in that real understanding, humour and irreverence are key to the visitor being told exactly... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Having read the first edition of this book,Rob Armstrong has expanded his book in the 3rd Edition to produce an essential guide to all Irish golf courses,tours to see the best of the country,hotels,and restaurants.I heartily recommend this book to those who are taking golf holidays in Ireland.

Useful resource in planning a golf trip to Ireland
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I found this book to be a very useful resource in planning my golf vacation to Ireland. He covers courses by county - my one criticism of the book is that there is no map to help you plan your itinerary. I had to buy a more general guidebook for Ireland with a map to plan our itinerary. Other than that, Rob Armstrong is very familiar with Ireland and the golf courses covered. His descriptions of the courses are thorough and enticing. I like the fact that he covers all of the major/well known courses, but many lesser known, excellent courses that you wouldn't ordinarily hear about. This book is well worth investing in.
Excellent book--slightly quirky

Very personal acoount of the author's favorite Irish golf courses. I bought the book to help plan my Irish golf vacation. Just about everything he said about the courses, I agreed with. He rants about shabby treatment towards Americans & women at some courses that we did not experience. Some of the phone numbers are now out of date and the book could really use a map of Ireland with the location of the golf courses. Excellent reference book, but not the bible of Irish golf.
