Ryder Cup 2006 - The K Club:

This will be a landmark event – and possibly the only time during the lifetime of our readers that Ireland will have the privilege of staging a Ryder Cup.

All tickets for the event are issued by the Ryder Cup travel office, which insists on a minimum 5-night stay in Dublin for the better hotels. Every package has now been sold for these hotels – mainly to corporate groups and tour operators. If you plan to attend you need to make a commitment now.

Our basic 5-night package includes:

• Accommodation: four-star Crowne Plaza Hotel1 in Dublin City
• Transport: Regular coach transfers to and from The K Club
• Room: (double or single occupancy) with full Irish breakfast daily
• Celebration Dinner on the final night with souvenir gift.

Better still though, take our special tour which includes pre-booked golf before the event:

• South West Ireland (pre-tournament) & The Ryder Cup 2006
• Wednesday 13 September
• Depart USA for Shannon, Ireland
• Thursday 14 September

Arrive Shannon. Met by driver and executive coach for transfer to Moy House or Vaughan Lodge at Lahinch. A spin along the Cliffs of Moher will sharpen the appetite for a fine dinner and a restful night. Overnight at Moy House or Vaughan Lodge.

Friday 15 September
Play Lahinch, one of the great links courses of Ireland – ranked 67th best course in the world by Golf Magazine, with fabulous views of the Atlantic coast and wonderful green, springy turf. Overnight at Moy House or Vaughan Lodge.

Saturday 16 September
Today play Doonbeg, Greg Norman’s exquisite creation below Spanish Point. Some of the finest links land in Ireland has been put to imaginative use. After golf, continue around the Shannon estuary to Limerick and then down to Killarney, one of Ireland’s most famous towns, where the lively nightlife gives even the weariest golfer his second wind! Overnight at the 4-star Killarney Royal Hotel.

Sunday 17 September
Driving the Ring of Kerry is one of those scenic spectaculars that everyone remembers. Playing a gem like Waterville half way round is an added bonus. Jim Mulcahy’s vision, added to Eddie Hackett’s design and recent enhancements courtesy of Tom Fazio, has produced a scenic monster, which bears comparison with any links in the world. Overnight at Killarney Royal Hotel.

Monday 18 September
Play Tralee - “I designed the first nine, but surely God designed the back nine,” remarked Arnold Palmer. The motion picture Ryan’s Daughter was filmed on the beach below the course. Overnight at Killarney Royal Hotel.

Tuesday 19 September
Today, you will play golf at another scenic wonder. Old Head occupies the headland below Kinsale, which is accessed via a narrow causeway. This may well be the world’s most dramatic course with coastal views that defy description. Overnight at Killarney Royal Hotel.

Wednesday 20 September
A leisurely drive across Ireland from Killarney, punctuated by a pub lunch and arrival at your hotel in good time for dinner. Overnight at Ryder Cup hotel choice.

Friday 22 September
Day One – Foursomes and Fourballs – the excitement begins! A good start will be important for the confidence of both teams. Overnight at Ryder Cup hotel choice.

Saturday 23 September
Day Two – Foursomes and Fourballs again.

Last time that did not materialize. Overnight at Ryder Cup hotel choice.

Sunday 24 September
Day Three – with excitement reaching fever pitch, the Singles matches inevitably decide the result. 24 of the world’s top golfers going head to head produces sporting drama of the highest quality.
