Great photo's, but why do you look so miserable ? I wouldn't be able to get the smile off my face playing in Ireland.

That's not misery, it's his "blue steel" expression

I imagine the copious amounts of guinness had something to do with it!! The weather turned out magic on friday Steve!!!!

correct chris i was on my 5th pint when i got dragged out to play again that night . it ended up a cracking day in portstewart we went out when the rain stopped and played the strand course again was my best golf all week.

its a pity as we were looking forward to a trip up to donegal again but there's always nxt year mate ,ended up playing 10 times in the 7 days so im still knackered.

cheers craw,that would be a fantastic meet for the 6 of us what do you think? its the first week in june nxt year.

j_f ,cheeky fecker ,congrats on the big day hope it all went well.

Did you mention you were good mates with Paul Mac?

Very Jealous. Darren's looking healthier than ever! Hope he gets another win or two on tour this year.

I see Darren Clarke has pulled out of the BMW tournament, so he can celebrate all week with Rory.

Jeeez Steve... Darren looks happier to see you than you do to see him good to hear you had good trip over ,, whats your top 3 played .. or what stands out most in the trip (except meeting DC)

bill have been over loads of times but playing portstewart and the valley at portrush i never tire of playing to be honest .

 

[thecraw]

Portstewart is the most under rated course I've had the pleasure of playing.

portstewart is a fantastic track craw have played it numerous times now and still look forward to playing it,the £4 million clubhouse they built a couple of years ago just tops the place of.

Hi Stevie,
glad the weather turned a bit better for you, I hope the hangovers got better for you as well.
It was great to play with you in Ballyliffin,although myself and Bondie were behaving like 2 kindergarden kids.
Have a great golfing summer.

Superb stuff.I feel that I will be making trips over there in the coming years now I have had my 1st taste of links golf in Ireland.

Been telling all my mates that they would love it and I am sure I won't be wrong.

The north west of Donegal (where I live) has 7 or 8 great links courses all within an hour and if you want to double that you have another 4 or 5 too

And if they have pubs like the one Bear sniffed out on the Saturday at Ballyliffin I'm a definite!
