I'm sure everyone's heard by now that the Irish Open is going to be held at Portrush this year. It's been decades since it was last here so it might be a bit of fun. Tickets are £25 for an adult, kids go free and it's on between Thu-Sun 28th June - 1st July.

Anyone fancy a day out at the final?

I could be up for this, nice day out and could go camping the night before to save driving toward the course on the sunday

i was thinking about going up ,just wondered if anyone has tried booking tickets,and their availability at the moment.
also you would need to book a campsite pretty pronto ,most of them are council run but there website does not open untill this weekend .
there is also a good private run site in Portbalintrae,but their office is closed at the moment aswell.
