Portmornack is one of the oldest clubs in Ireland. It is host to several championships and has an exclusive membership. It was a beautiful place and the people proved to be very friendly. The wind was blowing 40 mph so everyone knew it was going to be a tough day........it was. After hacking like a lumber jack during the front nine, Drew Davis decided that was enough and called it a day. Heineken found his game and shot a 37 on the front. Davey and Sammy went to the pub for a couple of pints b/c the Big Brown and Hogle in the group ahead were playing slower than molasses. They had 2 pints at the turn, waited 20 minutes, and still caught up to the group ahead at the 15th. Slow play apparently helped Big Brown as he dunked a wedge for an eagle on the back, rolled in a birdie, and missed another eagle by an inch. Needless to say, it was Brownie's day and yes, he was paired with Hogle to claim a team victory. We stopped at a local pub called Gibney's for a pint and then headed back to Dublin for some well needed rest. Last stop.......European Club tomorrow. Rankings for the Irish Open are....
