Portmarnock. Monday 26 July

Tiger Woods and Stewart Cink use Portmarnock as their warm up course prior to the Open Championship. This speaks for the true links style of this course.
This course played very differently to all others thus far. It was hard and fast, and provided players with the challenges of determining a correct landing position.
Joey, the club pro was, aside from flogging course guides to everyone, very helpful and he explained that his son was fortunate enough to play with Stewart Cink during his practice round. The young fella was beaming from ear to ear as we questioned him about what it was like. It truly is a great game that we play.
We stretched the rounds over 5 hours again, thanks to our American friends traveling at snail pace in front. They were "AARRSOME!!!". We all enjoyed the hospitality of the club for lunch. Libby McCann took the title today, well done Libby.
