Dave: Golf in Ireland

I recently traveled to Ireland for golf.  A friend from VA organized the trip for eight people from the States and one person from Germany (at least for 3 years).  We played four of the top golf courses in the WORLD: Old Head (i.e. Pebble Beach on steroids), Waterville, Ballybunion and Lahinch.   The views and landscape from these venues are amazing, and can help you quickly forget the triple bogey you just made.  The trip not only included golf, but a fun group of degenerates that partook in a large intake of Guiness and other drinks and substances.

Three lessons learned: 
(1) Book a driver who, if paid enough Euros, will turn his head while passangers break the law.  
(2) Do not use an "agent" to book your tee times and hotels.  By doing so, you pay double the rate.  Do the work yourself.
(3) Never play blackjack with a dealer with a dagger tatoo on her body.
