We all met at the Dublin airport on June 5th. The group was picked up by our bus driver for the 2-hour drive to the village of Portrush in Northern Ireland.

Tuesday June 7th, we played Royal Portrush again. The non-golfers toured the town of Portrush. I love the town of Portrush! The scenery is outstanding and the people are very accommodating. One day I would like to do a trip just to Portrush. There are several other great courses in the town and within a 45-minute drive.
