18. Pitch & Putt

Portmarnock golf links is famous as one of the best golf courses in Ireland but Portmarnock is also home to another of the country’s top courses at it’s pitch and putt course, with greens that would be the envy of any club.

We went along to Portmarnock Pitch and Putt Club on a wet Sunday morning just before Christmas to find out a bit about the sport and the club. We spoke  to chairman David Crum and met some of the members including Mary Lynch, Pearce Cromwell, Tom Duffy and Garry O’Connor.

This series is made with the support of the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland’s Sound and Vision scheme.
