Abbeyleix GC to Athy GC
Some interesting facts about Ireland:
- The Irish consume in average 131.1 liters of beer per year - the 2nd highest per-capita consumption after the Czech Republic.
- Famous Irish breweries include Guinness, Smithwicks (Kilkenny), and Harp Lager.
- The three most famous symbols of Ireland are the green Shamrock, the harp, and the Celtic cross.
- Halloween traces back its origins to the Gaelic festival of Samhain, a harvest festival held on 31 October to mark the end of summer. Samhain became associated with All Saints (1 November) from the early Middle Ages and the two progressively merged over the centuries, creating Halloween.
- 88% of Irish citizens are nominally Roman Catholic. The Republic of Ireland has one of the highest rates of church attendance in the Western World (around 45% of regular Mass attendance).
- The ancestral language of Irish people is Irish Gaelic. Nowadays 1.6 million people claim a self-reported competence in Irish, but only 380,000 fluent speakers remain.
- There are over three hundred golf courses in Ireland. Thirty-seven scorecards covering fifteen of Ireland are displayed below.
