The Open is Back!!
July 2019 was the last time an Open Championship was contested at Royal Portrush - it seems like a lifetime ago now...
For those who don't remember the "before times", Shane Lowrey did his fellow Irishmen proud by winning the 148th Open Championship at the return to golf in Northern Ireland at the acclaimed Royal Portrush Golf Club.
Still the defender, Shane will be back at Royal St. Georges in southeast England this month to rekindle all our passions for links golf as we watch him defend against the best golfers in the world.
We are excited to see the Open back and to have the opportunity to see the greatest golfers playing one of the great links courses in the world from July 15-18, 2021.
In July 2022, St Andrews will be hosting the Open Championship and it promises to be one of the greatest celebrations of golf even seen. TJ will be there hosting a trip to play great links golf and soak up the atmosphere of this once in a lifetime event. Until recently, we were sold out for our trip to St Andrews however, we have secured 2 rooms and now you have the chance to join this group of golf enthusiasts on the trip of a lifetime. All the details can be found below so if your interested, get in touch with us ASAP - the rooms will not last long!
Also in this month's newsletter:
We've said it before, and we'll say it again (basically everyone month!) - talking golf, and golf travel, is our passion so get in touch with us anytime and we would be more than happy to share that passion with you.

Destination Guide
South East England
With 400 miles of stunning coastline and its blue flag award winning beaches, the South East makes for a great escape by the sea. Even better, you can build a case for London being in the South East of England and that opens up the vibrancy and energy of one of the great cities of the world as part of your experience.

Men's U.S. Open Pool Results
Yes, once again we know this is The Masters scoreboard but we haven't been to a US Open so this will still have to do :) !!
Possibly one of the best U.S. Opens in many years was just played with so many player in contention going into the back nine, and apparently very little air to share as the "choking" was on full display!!!
3 more people won bonus entries in the "Win a trip to Ireland" contest and improved their chances of joining TJ, Natasha and Lorne in Ireland in the fall of 2022.
Our winners we are all notified of their success after the tournament but you can see who won, and get a few fun facts about the pool results, by clicking the button below.
Once again, we must highlight 1 significant fun fact from the event. After a sad showing in the Men's PGA pool where 93% of pool entrants beat TJ's score, TJ bounced back strong in the Men's U.S. Open Pool and only 90% of participants beat him in this pool!!!
We are pretty confident that sometime on 2025 TJ will get our of the bottom half of the pool results....
Keep all this in mind when you read his Open Championship pool preview......
Keep an eye or your email on Monday July 12, 2021 for your chance to enter the Open Championship pool where we will be awarding 2X the bonus entries to our top 3 winners (6 for 1st, 4 for 2nd and 2 for 3rd place)
As a reminder, there is a strict 1 entry per person rule for the Irish contest so the ONLY way to increase your chances of winning is by winning bonus entries in the pools.
Good luck in the pools!!!
