Play Ballybunion Old for Free, on April 15th

Views over Ballybunion from the 2nd green.

I have a tee time booked for 12pm on Monday 15th April, for Ballybunion Old, on the coastline of Co. Kerry. It is one of Ireland's and the world's top golf courses. I think so, and so does Tom Watson... and between us we have 8 Majors, so we know what we're talking about!


If you want to play and you're happy to join three golfers you don't know (including me) then leave a comment on this blog and be ABSOLUTELY SURE to check back at 1pm on April 3rd to see if your name has been picked. Alternatively, leave an email address, although it will be 'public' on this blog.

So, if you're:
a. available
b. interested in playing (your Handicap is irrelevant)
c. haven't played the course before
d. capable of filling in a form in the bar afterwards and
e. prepared to appear on my blog (as well as Golfing Weekly ezine)...

... then enter your name in the Comment section below. Some folks have been having trouble leaving a Comment, so if you're entering, be sure to scroll down in the box when you fill in your details and type out the two words in the box.

Ballybunion Old's brilliant, long and terrifying par three 15th.
Please note, it's a 3 hour drive from the M50/N7 Junction, but a journey well worth making if you want to play one of Ireland's best golf courses. Practice facilities are excellent too, and so is the breakfast if you fancy arriving early and lapping up the atmosphere.

Irish golf doesn't get better than this.
