Dear Cathal,

Thank you for the superb orchestration of our trip this July. Our group had a spectacular time and our accommodations and transportation arrangements were a complete success. I have employed the services of several reputable golf tour companies in the past. However, your company’s attention to detail, desire to please and “can do” attitude made the entire trip from planning to actualization obstacle free and remarkably easy. I would highly recommend your tour company to anyone who wishes to experience the essence of “Irish Golf”. Again, many thanks for a splendid trip.

Warmest regards,

Marc

Dear Cathal,

Thank you for the arrangements made. All three days were full of great experiences. The courses really taught us humbleness a lot. All of us were very happy of our choice to come to Ireland. Once more thank you Cathal and thank you lovely Ireland.

Hi Cathal,

The return home went well. I want to thank you for all the arrangements. Everything went exactly as on the schedule and the bus and driver were exceptional. I was very pleased with al of the courses and the accomodations. I know that our party was also pleased and impressed.

We are giving thought to either next year around the same time going to the north and west or to the south and west. I have done most of the south and west courses, except the new Greg Norman course – Doon Beg?

Again, thanks for taking such good care of us. I will certainly recommend you to my associates.

Cathal,

Slowly coming back down to earth after the most exhilarating 10 days I have ever spent. Ireland was magnificent and your planning and organization insured us of an effortless journey.

It was a real treat to finally meet you and enjoy a pint at the Moorings – I hope our team didn’t ring up too much of a tab for you. It was my intention to buy you a round and I’m sorry we ended up being a little rushed getting on to Waterville that evening.

Please send me your new mailing address – we’d like to send you a small token of our appreciation.

Best regards,

Cathal ,

I am writing to extend our many thanks for all the golf tour arrangements your company has successfully concluded for my many golf buddies from Australia.

Annually, since 2003 you have been able to facilitate a tour group ranging in size from 4 to 14 of very enthusiastic Aussies. During this time, we have managed to play most of the great courses of Ireland, and, most of the great courses of Scotland as well.

Every trip takes each of us approximately 30 hours travel, so by the time we arrive, we are very focused on enjoying a high standard of excellence and competency for our golf and tour needs.

The great skills you have shown on each tour are complimented by your caring and attentive style, forever trying to satisfy our varied travel needs and destinations. This all occurs under a mantle of relative Irish calm and competence. The fact that we have returned annually from the other side of the world, and have you and your company plan and conduct our golf tours to your fabulous country is testament to the consistent excellent standard of service you provide.

I know during the Ryder Cup last year you were extremely busy, so we were all very grateful for your willingness to take the time to address our particular needs. I also recall the first time we met at Adare Manor where you had driven across the country to ensure our requirements were being fulfilled and we were happy with our golf and après golf activities.

So, on behalf of the large Aussie contingent who have enjoyed and will continue to enjoy and appreciate your care and attentive service, congratulations on a job well done.

Best wishes and see you again in August 2007

Cathal,

Many thanks for your help in arranging our recent Irish holiday. Having made several previous trips to Ireland, we wanted to go off the well-worn American path and the usual suspects courses. The itinerary you put together through the west and northwest was outstanding. About as “local” as one could get with self-drive and our GPS. Nine links courses in seven days. Portrush is as outstanding as I remembered it, and all were memorable in some way. We must offer up a special mention for Carne – remote and spectacular; a gem we wouldn’t have found on our own. Hospitality was wonderful throughout, particularly at the family-run Rosapenna Hotel, and the Bushmills Inn renovations keep it one of the best spots in the UK/Ireland. We appreciate all the effort you and Speciality Golf invested in making our tour such a great experience.
Best regards,

Cathal,

What a great tour !!! The courses were awesome and the accommodations were great. The way you set up the tour not only allowed us to play the best courses in Ireland but also gave us the opportunity to see the beautiful views and sights of Ireland’s countryside. Thanks for a great trip.

Thank you for a well organised trip. Your selection of golf courses was excellent and the itinerary enabled sufficient time for both golf and sampling the hospitality in Killarney. All who attended were very complimentary about how smooth things ran and how good the courses were, set amongst fantastic scenery.

Stuart Finnes, Sales Director, Focus Solutions Group

I want to thank you for this truly outstanding trip. Everything was planned down to the smallest detail. Not one problem that I could think of – the first time that I can actually say this. Thank you again. I would have no problem recommending your firm for any trip in Ireland. In fact, I spoke to Cathal about a future trip in 2008 to Scotland. I look forward to planning this with you next year!

Chris Hickman, President, Marco Group

The trip was great. All of the guys had a really good time. Ireland was great, especially the friendly people. The courses were out of this world – some too hard for my level of golf – but I loved it. Jimmy, our driver was the best. He really knows how to provide great, above the call of duty, service to his clients. You should use his company for all of your trips. The B&B’s were very nice, clean and well run. Plus you arranged for us to have outstanding weather.

I also want to personally thank you for the outstanding service you provided. You were very easy to deal with and always responsive to everyone of our questions and needs.

When I get back to Ireland to play golf again (hopefully not too long) I will certainly book the trip through your firm based on our great experience with you.

Rich Murphy, USA

12 of us made the trip to Ireland for what we were hoping would be a golfing experience we would remember for a lifetime, and I must say we were not the least bit disappointed! It was immediately obvious that our trip would be “first class” when we saw the luxury coach that had more than ample room for all of us during our travels. The golf courses were great, and the accomodations were great! Our driver John was excellent. He was always punctual and went out of his way to accomodate all our requests

Thanks for making this vacation one that I will always remember!

Russell Voigt, Director, Siemens Power Generation

Our golf trip through southern Ireland was fantastic. The golf courses, weather, scenery and hospitality were superb! The comfortable coach and the bus driver (John) really helped make this a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend this trip to golfers of all levels. Just keep the ball down the middle of the fairway and avoid the “love grass”.

Barry Morris, VP Sales, Fiserv

Dear Cathal,

Just to let you know we returned safely home. Everything went well, apart from my golf game, and we were very happy with your organisation.

Thanks a lot,

Sincerely

Nick Staples.

Nick Staples, Professional, Golf Club Fulda, Germany

Thanks for putting together a truly first class golf experience for us. The hotels were excellent. We especially enjoyed the one in Killarney. It had a homey feel, and by five days it began to feel like home. The night at the Adare Manor was truly memorable. And the golf truly lived up to its reputation. I would enthusiastically recommend your organization to anyone looking for a tour company to put together a reasonably priced but unforgettable golf trip.
