Golf is a business - let's be clear about that. Golf clubs need to make money to survive... something that is proving particularly tough at the moment. To that end, Social Media is being explored more and more, but there is so much scope for Irish Golf Clubs to expand its boundaries....

Hooked: Ireland's Golf Courses
Irish golf writer, blogger, photographer. I travelled Ireland by camper van playing and reviewing every 18 hole course for a book named Hooked (published by Collins Press).
