Foremost, among Ireland's special activities is golf. For well over 100 years, Ireland and golf have been synonymous. The Irish may not have invented the game, but they certainly have taken to it like second nature, playing 12 months a year. There are now 394 Clubs affiliated to the Golfing Union of Ireland and Club Membership has grown by almost 120,000 in the past decade. Golf has become Ireland's single biggest sporting holiday attraction with 219,000 overseas golfing visitors. The island of Ireland also claims no less than one third of all the links courses in the world. The building of new parkland courses has helped in the consolidation of Ireland's reputation as the Mecca of golf in Europe, a title that will culminate in the holding of the prestigious Ryder Cup in the near future.
