Golf legend Daly opens Cork course
Golf superstar John Daly today opened the new €50m Blarney Golf Resort — the first course he has designed in Europe.
The golfer, nicknamed ‘Wild Thing’, said he was delighted with the progress made by the golf course.
“I have no doubt that we will tweak it as we get to know it better,” he said. “All significant golf courses tend to be work in progress. We have laid solid foundations for what I believe, will become a must-play Irish course.”
The US golfer arrived in Cork on Saturday night after failing to make the cut at the British Open.
The two-time Major winner also had the clubs out yesterday when playing 18 holes at Blarney.
Blarney Golf Resort is the brainchild of local developer John Kelly and his partner Frank McCarthy. It consists of the 62-bedroom Ramada Hotel, 56 luxury golf lodges and the Sentosa Spa.
