No rest for the Micklesons, as they say, so despite it being another glorious personal holiday, there was no early-morning bed-slouching to be had, getting on the road at 8.30am to pick up Conquer from Bloodbank House before heading to Knightsbrook Golf Club near Trim in County Meath for a 9.45am tee-off on the course that will host the Junior Solheim Cup this September. Conditions were extremely blustery, surely accounting for a number of the 123 shots that it took me to negotiate the course. Appalling score and wind aside, it was very enjoyable, and the course is an excellent one.
Naturally, we were there as part of a Citydeal, which entitled us to a round and a 2-course meal for €27.50 per person - gift! The meal of Leek and Potato soup, and Supreme of Chicken was wolfed down, accompanied by a driver-friendly pint of Guinness Mid-Strength, which contains reduced alcohol of 2.8%, and doesn't taste half-bad.
Water aplenty at the Knightsbrook course
