Ireland Golf Tours | Excuses to Play Golf
The golfing Union of Ireland traces its history back to 1891 and this makes it the world’s oldest golfing body! Golf is an ever-growing popular sport with over 60 million golfers in the world and over 150,000 of those in Ireland. There’s a constant stream of guests (over 200,000) travelling for a golf vacation in Ireland and to stay in Irish luxury accommodation in between days on the courses. You don’t really need an excuse to play golf but here's some...

Health
As an outdoors sport, playing golf means you are out all day in the fresh air and golfing in Ireland means freshest of air (sometimes mixed with rain!). Physically golf might not appear to be very great exercise but when out on the course all day it means you are walking miles and miles to complete the course (as long as you don’t keep depending on the golf buggy!), these is very good news for your heart rate and blood pressure. Golf is also positive for mental health, it reduces stress and the social aspect means you are meeting plenty of people.

Scenery
Lush green courses, kept in prestigious conditions with the backdrop of some of the best scenery in the world is a massive bonus to being a golf player. And, of course in Ireland we have some of the best! You can find golf courses all over the world in idyllic places such as beaches, islands, cliff tops… The highest golf course in the world is the Tactu Golf Club in Morococha, Peru, which sits 14,335 feet above sea level at its lowest point. Not for the faint-hearted or those who have a fear of heights! But can you imagine the views?

Social Life
Golf is not just a lone sport, it is a fantastic opportunity to get out and meet people. There is an opportunity for family bonding on the golf course, something to do together. It is great for children to learn golf from a young age and experience a quality golf course. Many friendships are also forged playing golf, it can be a full day or two out on a course with dinner and lunch in between. Forming long-lasting camaraderie is an important part of the sport.

Business Networking
Golf is considered to be one of the most powerful business networking tools! It makes sense when you consider the social aspect of golf and the connections made. It is a suitable way to get your name (and business name) out there without going for the ‘hardsell’. It is a proven tactic to gain new clients while at the same time enjoying the sport.
