Ireland golf trips – 20% off

This is a great deal if you can swing it … Having lived here for 6 months, I can attest to the quality of the golf and the wonderful Irish hospitality.

Imagine a great big sign hanging over all of Ireland saying in bold letters, “20% OFF EVERYTHING” — now if that doesn’t grab your attention, I don’t know what will. Assuming the sign does its job, you’ll be wasting no time in checking what you might be able to buy for a 20% discount. But this is the age of truth in advertising and although our sign may be imaginary, the message is not, it’s absolutely accurate, literally everything in Ireland has been discounted by 20% – there’s no fine print and no exceptions, everything is on sale, if you have US dollars to spend.  Click here for more information.
