Meet the Author

Author Rob Armstrong has drawn a series of interesting and informative word portraits, buttressed by photos and course maps, of the best resort and daily-fee golf courses in Virginia and West Virginia. For nearly twenty-five years, Armstrong was an award-winning correspondent for CBS News. He now contributes to various golf publications, teaches at Flagler College in St. Augustine, Florida, and tries to keep his handicap in the single digits. His yearly jaunts to the Emerald Isle to hit the links led him to write Golfing in Ireland: The Most Complete Guide for Adventurous Golfers (pb), also published by Pelican.

    Photos & women's info

    Although my Irish itinerary has already been finalized, I purchased and read this book last weekend for 3 reasons. I wanted to drool over the photos as I wait for my trip, Armstong's book is the first guide to Irish courses that I've seen that includes any information for women (the author has included his wife's opinions on how several courses played) and the third reason is that it has been recently updated. I wish he'd included the women's scorecard and more of the woman's point of view for every course he played. The author is quite opinioned and is willing to question whether some of the grand dames that are praised in other books are worth the money. He also includes interesting lists in the back such as my two favorites: 'The Five Most Difficult Courses for Women to Score On' and 'Ireland's Most Scenic Golf Courses'. In the back, there's an extensive list of 18 hole courses in Ireland with phone numbers etc. which is great if you're making your own arrangements. However, I wish he'd included an outline map of Ireland labeled with the Counties and his top courses marked. The other drawback in my mind is that his accommodations & restaurants lists are limited and tended to the expensive side: over $170 a night for lodging and over $90 for a meal. However, there are other good references for inexpensive lodging & food such as the online Irish Tourist Board. For most of my planning for our golfing trip to Ireland, I used James Finegan's Emerald Fairways & Foam-Flecked Seas and Links of Heaven by Richard Phinney & Scott Whitley. However, both these books were copyrighted in 1996 and Armstrong's is copyrighted in 2000. Armstrong's information on airlines, airports, etc. is much more valuable. I did prefer the travelogue style of writing of Links & Emerald Fairways to Armstrong's. They also grouped the courses so that you can focus on an area in case you don't want to travel around all of Ireland. I particularly enjoyed the history & insights of Links of Heaven. When I pack my bags for Ireland, it will probably be Links of Heaven that travels with me and some xeroxed pages from the other two.
