Frustrated by the sketchy nature of guidebooks they used while on their golfing tour, authors Louise and Rick Miracle decided to compile their own definitive guide to the Irish links. Their result-—Trolleys and Squibs-—offers extensive, geographically balanced coverage of individual courses presented by way of two whimsically named lists.
The Trolleys List contains thorough summaries of 153 courses, including directions for getting to each course, scorecard data, descriptions of course layout and club facilities, and recommendations of local restaurants and hotels. The Squibs List offers basic information--addresses, phone numbers, and brief descriptions--on 138 additional golf courses. At the end of book, the authors suggest several itineraries based on various themes, lengths of stay, and geographical regions and offer an entertaining glossary of Irish terms and expressions.
