They included so many sporting events I rarely got to see and they were all wonderful to watch. The sixteen days Multifunctional Golf Facilities 12 of games and sportsmanship obscured, temporarily, the cloud and rain filled days of this summer. Watching Michael Phelps Disposal of Empty Containers 16 become the greatest Olympic medal winner of all time was a great occasion to witness. And as for Katie Taylor, the whole Delivering Sustainable Golf country swelled with pride on her gold medal achievement, in Africa 20 along with our boxing and showjumping medals. The Irish Abroad 26 hen there was the great achievement of Rory McIIroy winning the USPGA, his second Major Feature -Tullamore Golf Club 30 Tvictory. Before the Olympic Games there was Euro 2012. Regional Round-up 36 Ireland did very badly in the tournament but it was great to be Irish during the championships as the Irish Feature - Semple Stadium 44 fans in Poland got the respect of every other competing Utility Vehicles 50 nation. Ireland got a special prize for ‘Best Fans’ of the tournament. When other countries comment on how friendly Irish fans are it does make Grinding Advice 53 you feel good. We do have a reputation for our friendliness and long may it last. I remember bringing a Polish friend of mine to Graiguenamangh in Co. Kilkenny on a Trade News 55 photographic day out. We both share photography as a hobby so Graiguenamangh was an ideal location for photographic opportunities - the barges, canal walks and old buildings. When we arrived, we agreed to part company and meet back for coffee at 5:00pm. I wandered around the quayside and met some elderly men who had gathered around one of the barges. I started chatting with them and before I knew it, I ended up getting a trip down the River Barrow on one of the barges. It was a great moment and the ‘captain’ of the barge was a lovely character, full of chat. Of course, with a camera in my hand, I took photos of him. He didn’t mind. I met my friend for coffee at 5:00pm and told him about my adventures. “You Irish are good at that” he said enviously. “Good at what?” I asked. “Meeting strangers and talking with them. That never happens back home in my country. That is why I like living here. You walk down the street and strangers salute you”. When he said this to me I was amazed. I took all this for granted but when I thought about it I realized he was right. Maybe there is some truth when people from other countries comment on how friendly we are. We may not be the best nation to take home lots of medals at the Olympics but maybe we might be the nation with the biggest smiles. If that is the case then the weather and economic climate should not get us down too much. Front cover: The Royal Dublin Golf Course.

From the GCSAI National Executive www.gcsai.org 4 News Ash Dieback Alert! sh dieback disease caused by the fungal pathogen Chalara fraxinea is a relatively new serious disease of ash which has caused extensive damage in several AEuropean countries. The organism has been relatively recently identified and its biology is not yet fully understood but the disease has spread rapidly in continental Europe over the past 10 years and is now widespread in several countries. The Forest Service of the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM) which is responsible for forest health has been very concerned about the disease and although the disease is currently not regulated under EU plant health legislation, it has been carrying out surveys for the disease to determine its status in Ireland. The Forest Service is also concerned that it may inadvertently have been introduced into Ireland through imports of ash plants and wood, including firewood, from other European countries. In this regard the Forest Service has been monitoring imports. To date the disease has not yet been found in Ireland but it has been recently detected in Great Britain, largely associated with imported plant material. If unusual disease symptoms of ash are observed they should be reported for investigation as part of its surveys to Forest Protection Section, Forest Service, Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, either by email to forestprotection@ agriculture.gov.ie or by telephoning 01 6072651. Symptoms of ash dieback include leaf and shoot wilting and dieback of branches. It should be noted though that other damaging agents can also cause similar symptoms. 5 greenside magazine | September 2012 Feature Living and Working in the BY Cameron Cooper I had wanted to do an internship in Ireland since before I went to school at the State University of New York at Delhi for golf course management.

The PING® 1A™ putter inaugurated a revolution in golf club design and manufacturing that would see Karsten’s company grow into a brand world-renowned for innovation and unequalled quality. Karsten, with his family at his side, went on to pioneer custom fitting and bring new processes to the manufacturing of golf clubs, including investment casting and heat treating. He recognized the value of scientific research and employed high speed cameras and a robotic golfer (The PING® Man) to analyze the dynamics of the golf club. His insistence on adhering to strict engineering principles and tight manufacturing tolerances raised the level of product performance and quality throughout the golf industry. It all led to more enjoyment for golfers all over the world. An engineer with an extensive background in the defense, aerospace and computer industries, he remains the only engineer to be inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame. Among the game-changing products that will be forever associated with Karsten are the Anser® putter and EYE2® irons.

It rises in Co Kildare and flows gently and majestically through County Meath and joins the sea at Drogheda in Co Louth some 112 kilometres later. It has none of the razzmatazz of its sister, the Shannon. It’s neither the longest river in Ireland, nor does it have the greatest flow. What is does have, and by the gallon, is history. In fact, the Boyne Valley is like a time capsule. Travel along it and you travel through millennia of Irish history, from passage tombs that pre-date the Pyramids, to the Hill of Tara, seat of the High Kings of Ireland, all the way to the home of the First World War poet Francis Ledwidge in Slane. It’s the Irish equivalent of Egypt’s Valley of the Kings. And you can choose to explore it by car, bicycle, kayak, or by strolling along its banks and the towpaths of the navigation canals that run alongside from Navan to Oldbridge.” Frances Power - Editor, Cara, the Aer Lingus inflight magazine - Boyne Valley Feature, October/November 2014 Pg 68-78 Cara magazine is available online at issuu.com Contents Towns & Villages 3 Boyne Valley Drive 8 Heritage Trail 9 Golf 11 Biking & Walking 13 Horse Racing 15 Gardens 17 Travelling to Meath & Map 19 Crafts 21 Angling 23 Things to Do 25 Shopping 28 Festivals & Events 29 Accommodation 33 Food & Drink 37 1 2 Image credits: Front cover image by Stephen Keaveny - winner of the 2014 Wiki Loves Monuments national photography competition.

Forsidefotos: Getty Images Printvenlig udgave kan hentes på Golf.dk 2 Kapitel 1 Dannebrog til tops Når en dansker vinder på touren, er det tradition i mange danske klubber at hejse flaget. Men hvad er baggrunden for den store succes, som Danmark – nærmest uafbrudt – har haft på den internationale golfscene, siden Thomas Bjørn brød lydmuren i 1996? 3 Med 45 danske sejre – fordelt med 33 på herrernes europatour og 12 på Ladies European Tour – har der været masser af grunde til at kippe med flaget. 4 u er sikkert kørt forbi. Derude vest for København, hvor mo- torvejene fletter sig ind i hinanden på kryds og tværs.

Med en højde på 47 meter er Margrethe-flagstangen landets højeste og er på den måde med til at give området et skær af storhed. Når man tager afkørslen og parkerer bilen foran det knopskudte og charmeforladte betonbyggeri, der ligger i ly af Brøndby Stadion, er det ikke ligefrem pomp og pragt, der springer i øjnene. Det er Idrættens Hus, epicentret i den danske sportsverden, og det er her Danmarks Idrætsforbund, Team Danmark og en lang række special- forbund har til huse.
