Being Golf Manager at Druids Glen is a pretty cool job at the best of times but it got even better for Marcus Doyle this week when he grabbed a picture as actor Bill Murray turned up for a game.
Supported by Tourism Ireland, the Caddyshack star is filming a tourism special on Ireland’s best courses, The Links Life, which will air on YouTube and other major streaming platforms.
As well as Druids Glen, he has plans to play the O’Meara Course at Carton House, Carne Golf Links, Portsalon, the new St Patrick’s Links at Rosapenna, Cruit Island, Narin & Portnoo, Enniscrone, Connemara, Galway Bay Golf Resort and Ballybunion.
Niall Gibbons, Chief Executive of Tourism Ireland, said: “We are delighted to support the filming of The Links Life featuring Bill Murray. It is a really great way to showcase Ireland and some of our top golf courses.
“Our aim is to remind viewers that Ireland offers some of the very best golf in the world, as well as spectacular scenery and fantastic experiences. The episodes filmed here will help ensure that Ireland stays ‘top of mind’ among golfers in the US and elsewhere around the world.”
