Irish Open at Portrush starts 5 weeks of National championships on 5 great courses

"After an absence of almost 60 years, and following two hugely successful stagings of the championship at Killarney Golf and Fishing Club, the Irish Open will return to Northern Ireland this summer when the classic links at Royal Portrush hosts the 2012 event from Thursday June 28 to Sunday July 1"

When this announcement came out this morning it put a capper on what will be 5 straight weeks of national championship golf on 5 great courses.

The Irish Open at Royal Portrush which now becomes arguably the best course on the European Tour and with Rory, Darren, and GMac coming home it will be a sensational week.

Then off to the Golf National outside Paris for the French Open, which has a linksy feel to it and is so well thought of it is rumoured to be the home of the 2018 Ryder Cup
.
Next up is the Scottish Open at the new and highly acclaimed Castle Stuart GL near Inverness before heading down to Liverpool for the Open Championship at Royal Lytham &St Annes, I need say no more.

Finally the RBC jet will be standing by to fly the guys here to the Hamilton G&CC in Ancaster for our Canadian Open, a course the field just raved about in 2003 and '06.

So 5 National championships in 5 weeks, just another part of 2012 we can all look forward to.
