Saturday Craic and Golf Outing by Sean Payzant

It was a grand Saturday for Sean P, John and Thomas. The boys and their host brothers went to Black Bush Golf Club for some craic and a round of golf. Unfortunately around the fifth hole we had our first rainstorm of the trip. Thomas made his first ever par and the lads had a blast.

Some history on Black Bush Golf Club. It is only 35 years ago since Black Bush Golf Club was one of the first Golf Clubs in Ireland to offer full membership to both men and women. What we take for granted today was quite a radical departure from the status quo at the time but the founding members of Black Bush showed vision in many ways when they set about starting the first new club in County Meath in decades.

Upper Lake - Glendalough Powerscourt House & Gardens Powerscourt House & Gardens Powerscourt House & Gardens The first day of the second week started out with a rainy beginning. For many of the boys’ first time going south of Dublin we had a great time visiting the Powerscourt House & Gardens and Glendalough. Unfortunately for the boys, it was very rainy in the Powerscourt House & Gardens, but they were beautiful nonetheless. On the bus on the way from the gardens to Glendalough the boys got to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the mountains and Guinness Lake. When the boys arrived to Glendalough, they took a brief tour of the monastery paying their respects to all of those who are buried there. Next, they took a hike to the beautiful Upper Lake where they skipped rocks and joked with each other for the following 15 minutes. After a long day, the weather had cleared up as a sign for a great rest of the week.  Jacob Padula Monday Morning Meeting Bus Transportation - Tha

Lahinch Golf Club  is a links golf course in western Ireland, in the town of Lahinch on the northwest coast of County Clare in northern Munster. It is situated approximately thirty-two kilometres northwest of the town of Ennis. I t was the most beautiful golf course I have ever seen. It’s right on the water and about 10 minutes away is the Cliffs of Moher. Saturday was one of the best days on the trip so far and I’ll remember it forever. Aidan Boyle
