The writers at golf’s leading website – joined by two-time Masters (and one-time Irish Open) champion Ben Crenshaw – reveal what makes their hearts sing when visiting the Emerald Isle
Portland, Ore. (March 13, 2012) – It has been said that if the Scots invented golf, the Irish perfected it. For the journalists at The A Position, golf’s leading website, there is no truer sentiment.
Ireland is blessed with an extensive menu of marvelous golf courses-tucked along the sea, rolling across the countryside, accessible to great cities, and in the middle of nowhere. But just as great as the golf are the intangibles, from the warmth of the people to the magic of the light; from melodious place names that lilt off the tongue to ambrosial potions lovingly raised to the lips.
Ben Crenshaw, this month’s celebrity contributor, also has deep feelings about Ireland. As a great player he is a past winner of Ireland’s national championship. As a noted golf architect his sensibilities have been influenced by the Irish landscape. And as a student of golf history, it is no surprise that his most precious Irish memory combines the traditions of the game and the culture.
Take a look at the entire list of what makes Ireland special. Then join us in honoring St. Patrick’s Day this month as we raise a glass to-and with-the Irish.
