Dunmore Demesne Golf Club

Date played: 9 April 2007, 8am
Weather: Cloudy, chilly, breezy

We played here by mistake. By that I mean that we intended to play at Ardacong but since that course is out of action we had to come up with Plan B. We looked at our map and found that we had played pretty much everything within striking distance, except Dunmore Demesne.

We arrived the night before and spoke to two of the founding members, Padraig Donlon and his wife Kathleen. They were very welcoming and said that we would have no bother playing the course next day and that it was OK to park overnight. We were glad of that as it was starting to look desperate! We wanted to see the last day of the Masters and they suggested that we head off to Walsh’s – it’s sort of the unofficial clubhouse since the facilities at the course are quite basic.

What a brilliant night’s craic we had in that pub.
