On one of my first trips to Ireland to play golf, I went in mid-October. Every day, we played in no more than a light-sweater and not a drop of rain ... except Lahinch.

My GF & I got to Lahinch are 9 a.m. and it was nasty, nasty, nasty. They weren't letting anyone out. Pouring rain & swirling winds. We finally went off around 10:30. By 10:31, we were soaked to the bone. Sun came out around 11ish and we played in a light sweater.

My family is from Doolin. Last year my daughter and I spent Xmas in Dublin & Killarney and headed to Doolin for NYE. Drove past Lahinch on the way (yes, I stopped in the pro shop for a new hat). It was 47 degrees, pouring rain & the wind was whipping. There were people on every Tee Box and every Green we could see.
