At the moment i am preparing for my next tour which begins on Wednesday when i start out with a couple from Texas. The weather is improving by the day so hopefully we will have it nice. Make sure you come along with me.
The big news here yesterday was the great finale to the Ladies Golf, the Solheim Cup. I cannot remember a more dramatic ending as with just four holes to play it looked like the USA team had it in the bag only for the Europeans to stage an unbelievable comeback over the final three holes. It was the stuff that dreams are made of and it is not very often that the USA let a match slip from their grasp like they did here. All credit to the European ladies, especially the rookies, as they played a major part in this vistory. They support was huge for both teams with large numbers of people travelling over from the USA to back up their heroines. It was a most sporting contest and when the dust settles i would imagine that every lover of golf would have to say that they were most fortunate to have witnessed a contest like this. The skill of all of the golfers was extraordinary and nobody could be faulted for lack of effort. I am sure that the ladies from the USA are already looking forward to the next Solheim Cup tournament when it returns to the US.
The dollar is improving quiet a bit recently against the Euro and this of course is great news for anybody coming our way right now. This time of the year can be very nice in Ireland and for many people it is the preffered time as it begins to quieten down. There is still a good stretch in the day and the temperatures can be just a good as in the Summer. Nevertheless, always bring warm undergarments, a couple of sweaters, and light rainwear when travelling to Ireland. I still have a little free time in October if you are thinking about coming but let me know as soon as possible please.
