"We're back..." Yes, the putative august Irish law firm of Healy, Haggerty, Considine & Farrell is once again touring the grand Emerald Isle, this time venturing north to Belfast, Donegal and Northern Ireland, culminating with an appearance in The Great North Links Challenge -- a three-day amateur tournament on three of the finest links courses in the world. We intrepid linksters will be testing our skills against international competitors in a daily, best 3-of-4 stableford-score format. In our final day, we will be playing arguably the finest and most demanding course of the trip, Royal Portrush, home club of golfing superstars McElroy, Clarke and McDowell.
