How We Accidentally Ended Up Organising an Irish Golf Trip

We've been banging our heads against a wall trying to get onto Irish golf courses for six months. Tee times selling out in minutes. Green fees north of €500. Chris assuring me his Irish roots would open doors. They did not.This episode is powered by Fourball Draws - where you can win a fourball on some elite courses for just a fiver - visit fourballs.co.uk and use code TOP100 to buy 2 or more tickets and get one absolutely free!Then Jared from Irish Fairways called me. He'd been listening to the podcast — which is either flattering or suspicious — and said three words that nearly made me fall off my chair: "We can help."And we ended up arranging a trip to Ireland that YOU can get involved in - more details hereIn this episode, Jared and Josh from Irish Fairways join us to talk about why Ireland's links courses captivate golfers from around the world, what makes links golf a completely different game to anything you'll play stateside, and how a chance phone call turned into a fully organised five-course trip along Dublin's north east coast — Portmarnock, The Island, Jameson Links, Royal Dublin, and County Louth.Josh is a PGA professional who still gets nervous on every tee box (his words), and his one-hole pick from the trip will make you want to book a flight immediately. Jared is the operations brain who nearly quit golf on his first ever round at Jameson Links in sideways rain — and started par-birdie in a pro-am months later. These two are brilliant company.Here's the big news: we've got 14 spots open for listeners to join us. October 4–10, 2026. Five world-class courses. Based at Portmarnock Resort. Farewell dinner at the Guinness Storehouse. Drivers, tee times, everything sorted. This year's Irish tee times are already gone — these are the last 14 spots that exist!If you've ever wanted to experience Irish links golf with a group who are there for the craic as much as the golf, this is it.Book here: https://top100in10.co.uk/the-top-100-in-10-golf-tour-of-ireland/Send us a messageSupport the showLearn more about our journey on our website Top100.in10.co.ukYou can even sign up to our podcast mailing list on the website and get a limited edition Top 100 in 10 ball marker when you complete your profileOr follow our live journey on Instagram @top100in10 or Tiktok
