Day 1 Wednesday, 7 th August 2019 Arrival Day Please make your own way to the hotel just outside Cork, Ballymaloe House Hotel. The drive is approx. 40 kilometres (which will take approx. 35 minutes in a taxi) from Cork Airport. Accommodation at Ballymaloe House is simple and elegant. They have a range of rooms in the main house, some large and airy with beautiful views over the fields as well as cosier rooms at the top of the house in the eaves. Their newer, light filled garden rooms are at the back of the house and look on to the river and oak and horse chestnut trees beyond. They also have charming rooms in a lime washed, rose-covered farm building in the courtyard. Enjoy afternoon tea in the drawing room by the fire or in the conservatory filled with scented geraniums and winter jasmine looking out onto our gardens and river. Benches are dotted throughout the gardens for you to sit in summer and read or listen to the sounds of the farm. In winter the drawing room is warm and peaceful-the perfect place to relax after a long walk by the sea and look out at the wild Irish sky. We will reserve a Standard Double room including breakfast daily on your behalf at the Ballymaloe House Hotel. This evening everyone will gather together for the Welcome Dinner to meet their fellow travellers. The Ballymaloe House restaurant continues to receive International recognition as home to the best modern Irish cuisine. Set deep in a 300 acre farm, the menus are written daily around the seasonal vegetables grown on the farm just as Mrs. Allen always did. Although times have changed, the essential spirit of Ballymaloe House is rooted in the relationship from the farm to the table which underlies the elegance of Irish Country House cooking.

A little bit of Tralee GC trivia for you: The spectacular view of beach, which runs at the back of the 1st hole and to the right of 2nd hole was the location of the beach scenes of the 1970 epic movie Ryan s Daughter, which won the Academy Award for Best Cinematography. The tower at the back of the 3rd green dates back to the 1190s, while legend has it that the big sandstone rock at the end of the wall running diagonally between the fourth and fifth fairways was hurled by the mythical Cuchullain from the top of the Sliabh Mish, the mountain that can be seen to the south. If one looks closely, what were supposed to be the imprint of his giant fingers can be seen on the boulder? The back of the 7th tee box overlooks the Randy, a small harbour that was a haven for smugglers in earlier centuries. Tee times: TBA

5 After golf, you will be transferred back to Killarney Royal Hotel to freshen up before our special excursion this afternoon & evening to the annual Puck Fair in Killorgan (approx. 20km). The Puck Fair is one of Ireland s oldest and longest celebrated festivals and is held without fail on 10 th, 11 th & 12 th of August every year with 12 hours of free family street entertainment. There are many legends that suggest an origin for the Fair, many of which are typically Irish and wildly inventive, however there is not written record stating when the Fair started. The earliest written reference is from the 17 th Century but evidence suggests it was something of a well-established local community event. Puck Fair in Irish this is Aonach an Phoic, means Fair of the He-Goat. Every year a goatcatcher goes up into the mountains to catch a wild goat. The goat is brought back to the town and the Queen of Puck, traditionally a young school girl from one of the local primary schools, crowns him King Puck. This signifies that the festivities may begin! On the 3rd day minus his crown he is brought down to be led back to his mountain home. (Please note: The welfare of the goat is of utmost importance to all involved in organising Puck Fair, an event and tradition that has been in existence for more than 400 years. We have strict protocols in place to ensure this welfare and they are overseen and checked by an independent Veterinary Surgeon.)

6 With plenty of music, street theatre, workshops, parades, arts & craft stalls, food stalls, horse & cattle fairs and, of course, various walkabout characters wandering around, the festival is full of life and fun. Enjoy the wonderful Irish hospitality & culture for the evening and we will take you back to the hotel in Killarney later in the evening. Day 6 Monday, 12 th August 2019 After breakfast, you will check out of the Killarney Royal Hotel before we head north to the Number 1 Golf Course in Ireland Ballybunion Golf Club for a round of golf on the Old Course (approx. 65km). Like The Old Course at St. Andrew s, Ballybunion Old Course did not require much correction when being prepared for its first major championship event in 1937 and that nature herself could not be surpassed. That s the essence of Ballybunion. It is elemental, natural golf amid dunes beside the ocean where all of the battles are God-made challenges with nature. Tee times: TBA. (Please Note that there are no carts available on the Old Course and electric trolleys are limited. Caddies are highly recommended) After golf, we will head east to Dublin with a stop in Limerick en route (approx. 90km) for a refreshment stop (own expenses) before you will be transferred to your hotel in Dublin - The Morrison Hotel, a DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel (approx. 205km from Limerick).

Dublin is an extraordinary city to explore and there is so much to see and do. The rest of the afternoon is free for you explore on your own. We suggest that one of the best ways to get around this glorious city is on the one of the many open topped buses (green, red, yellow) to get around the city with a witty commentary along the way. Stop off at the Guinness Storehouse and learn to pull a pint of the historic Irish Stout (highly recommended, and you can opt to include the entry in your Bus Tour ticket) or Old Jameson Distillery, if whisky is more to your palate, or any one of the many museums, galleries or historic landmarks.

8 If Irish history interests you, we suggest that you visit historic sites such as Kilmainham Gaol (book your visit time to avoid disappointment) or Glasnevin Cemetery. Have a photo taken with the statues of Oscar Wilde or Molly Malone. Alternatively, especially if you have any Irish lineage, the new EPIC Museum is a fascinating interactive museum about the emigration worldwide of the Irish. If you re keen on Gaelic sports, a tour of Croke Park & the GAA Museum could be of interest. Tonight, we will book tickets for a performance of Riverdance. Experience the power and passion of the incredible stage spectacular in its home town. Overnight at The Morrison Hotel in Dublin.
