Friday Sept. 28th Wagon to the rescue! d Belvoir Park (for some reason pronounced "Beaver" by the locals - any suggestions re this pronounciation are appreciated!) is a semi-public parkland layout located a few miles from Belfast center. A Harry Colt design, the course offers panoramic views of the cityscape. Wagon arrived from the Newark-Belfast shuttle and we immediately departed for Belvoir Park to take advantage of a rare sunny day in the U.K. This was a glorious setting in a welcoming club. Fourball match of the day featuring Considine-Healy vs. Farrell-Haggerty. C-H jumped out to an early lead and cruised to victory and a Guinness celebration in the clubhouse. With the Ryder Cup on TV, this was a most pleasurable post-round "relaxer" as the locals acknowledged the excellent performance of the American team on day one. Dinner at Benedict's Hotel was tasty, and we were off to pub time at Robinson's and Fibber Magees-----connected pubs in downtown Belfast---one side with Irish music and the other with hen parties (traditional bachelorette celebrations) and the Ryder Cup The Americans played well again in the afternoon to finish the day up 5-3. As local observers, we can report Euros are in shock. Parkland golf in Belfast was fun and a nice warm-up, but we journey to Ireland for links golf which is more difficult and challenging than parkland golf. Tomorrow we are off to Donegal Golf Club on the Murvagh Peninsula. Photos are being taken and edited. Postings will begin tomorrow.Also report from Belfast 1912 memorial Orange parade with 45,000 marchers...
