4 hacks on an adventure to improve their golf game and play some of the finest courses in the world
Let's start the final post with a story about friction. There are a lot of moving parts on the human body, especially the male body. Things rub together from time to time, and that's no problem if you're just surfing the net at work with the rest of the degenerates. However, the stakes go up when you're moving all day. If you've trained for a 10k road race or longer, you've probably … [Read more...]
On Monday we had a three hour drive to Waterville. It was the worst day to have a brutal hangover, and two of us were ailing. The Mick seemed unfazed from the previous night's festivities. (There's a word to describe people who drink a lot and never have a hangover, but that's a commentary for another time.) We encountered some wind and rain at Waterville.

I'm not going to get into every detail of each day, but I will try to describe the stories that are worth telling.

As is our tradition, the Mick and I agreed to meet at Waffle House at the lovely hour of 6:45. As is also tradition, no sign … [Read more...]
Ladies and Gentlemen or whoever reads this blog, we are less than two days away from a golf trip. As the final minutes tick off the clock, I’ve been doing what everyone does right before an international trip: Acting like I care about projects on conference calls (I’m a shitty actor) and going back and forth to drug stores like they’re Home Depots (I have enough chewable pills to pave my … [Read more...]
After four nights in Killarney, the lads will pack up their clubs, hop a ferry and set up camp in their final destination of the week - The Lodge at Doonbeg. The beauty of this set up is that the golf course is on site, so there will be no need for the driver on our final day of golf. I can only imagine his relief to get away from us for a day. The other benefit is that Doonbeg is a resort. … [Read more...]
