"Jack Berry's Ireland Golf" - Part 1
Jack Berry's knowledge of Ireland golf is so vast that we decided to
expand our original show to six. In our first show, Jack gives us an
overview of Ireland golf and chats about some of his favorite memories.
Jack has golfed 24 of Ireland's links courses over the years. Cathal
O'Sullivan and his Sullivan Golf & Travel agency bring this series to you.
http://www.sullivangolf.ie Follow up shows will include a show on each
of the four geographical areas in Ireland with the final being on the K
Club and the upcoming 2006 Ryder Cup.

CLASS ACT
The Mississippi Gulf Course Golf Association received a check for
$10,000 from the Myrtle Beach Grand Strand to help in rebuilding some of the
MGCGA facilities. They are competitors, but both know the devastation
that hurricanes can bring to a golf area.
A Tip of the Tam to the Strand.

TOP 10 FEEDBACK
Happy New Year Art.
I really enjoy your Michigan Golf News. Since I was born in Michigan,
I seem to really hunger for this news. Received your Michigan Top
'10s'. Couple surprises and many you are right on. I found real interest
in the Top 10 courses but was surprised that St. Ives was not listed. I
am part of a group of 8 and we travel around different states playing
golf. Over the past 9 years, we have been in Michigan twice - once at
Gull Lake and last year in Mt. Pleasant - and when comparing to courses
we have played in several other states, St. Ives received rave reviews
from our entire group. We also played and thoroughly enjoyed
Tullymore. Michigan is blessed with some of the finest golf courses in the US.
Keep up the good work and again, Happy New Year!

GWAA HONORS NICKLAUS, BRYANT AND TATUM
Hall of Famer Jack Nicklaus, Bart Bryant and former USGA president
Sandy Tatum have been honored with three prestigious awards given by the
Golf Writers Association of America.
The ever-candid Nicklaus, the man who invented the reporter's scrum, is
the 2005 ASAP Sports/Jim Murray Award winner. Niicklaus, 65, embodies
the award that recognizes a player for cooperation, quotability and for
accommodation to the media and for reflecting the most positive aspects
of the working relationship between athlete and journalists.
Bryant's injury-plagued career turned magical in 2004 and led to him
winning the 2005 Ben Hogan Award, given annually to an individual who has
continued to be active in golf despite a physical handicap or serious
illness. Tatum, whose crowing achievement was the transformation of
Harding Park, was honored with the William D. Richardson Award, given
annually to recognize an individual who has consistently made an outstanding
contribution to golf.
They will be honored, along with GWAA Players of the Year Tiger Woods,
Annika Sorenstam and Dana Quigley at the Annual GWAA Awards Dinner,
April 5 in Augusta, Ga.
