re: Ireland trip late August

I have been to SW Ireland three times and Scotland five. Be prepared for weather changes and I'm not kidding. I played Old Head in low 80's and got a nice sunburn. The next day it was low 50's with on/off rain at Lahinch. The very next day at Ballybunion we varied in temps between high 40's to mid 60's in a 5 hour time frame. Invest in a great rain suit, rain gloves and wear layers. I usually wear shorts and just put on rain pants if it gets to cold. I also recommend putting an extra pair of socks in a ziplock and place in your golf bag. Wet feet sucks.

Waterville is a great golf course.
