Virginia Golfer Jan / Feb 2020 | Page 33

C RAGGY COASTLINES AND SPECTACULAR OCEAN VIEWS. Intimate pubs in which to share a pint of Guinness (or three) with the locals. Ancient castles. Stunning national parks featuring beautiful waterfalls. Oh, and the golf. Lest we forget about the golf. Ireland has it all. And thanks to a trip offered by the Virginia State Golf Association in conjunction with tour operator Sullivan Golf Travel, VSGA members have a chance to experience it all, building fellowship and cama- raderie with fellow Virginia golfers while playing some of Southwest Ireland’s most iconic layouts. There’s good news and bad news in this story. First the bad: The 2020 VSGA Ireland trip—set for August—is sold out. Now the good: We’re bringing it back in 2021. Registration for next year’s adventure will open later this spring, so be sure to check VSGA.org for more information. Following, you’ll find the itinerary for the 2020 trip, which is representative of the sort of quality venues the VSGA and Sullivan will offer in 2021. The 2020 vacation includes five nights at the Randles Court Hotel in Killarney and two nights at the Vaughan Lodge in Lahinch, and also includes daily breakfasts, welcome and farewell dinners and a welcome gift.
