Ireland is one of the world's fastest growing golf destinations.
Travel agents and golf magazines are selling it. . . . Entrepeneurs, eager to
ride the wave, are investing substantial sums. Since 1990 more than a half dozen
major new golf courses have opened, others have expanded and more development is
planned.

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.
