Is this a good tourment?

You are not going to get a better field in Ireland...ever!! The Irish Open in Killarney at the end of July will attract a lot of the big European players but not the Yanks. As this is not a pro event it will be more relaxed and give you a better chance of getting close to the action. Adare Manor is a fantastic place and a great course and Adare village has some good bars. Can't remember its name but there is a bar at the junction in the middle of the village where the craic and music is good. Go, and enjoy it.
