Basically we have the use of a house twenty to thirty minutes drive away and will be staying down for a few days regardless so its all dependant on the weather conditions etc..at this stage im leaning towards just giving them the credit card and catching up with them afterwards.
No worries, let's just call it a Tiger stropp or a McIlroy huff joke
It's a nice idea and personally I can't wait to bring the nippers to something like this but it'll be a good while down the line.
Load up the credit card is my advice
For others bringing slightly older kids, spotted this which may come in handy and could be a blessing:
Supernova Family Kids Zone at The Irish Open
Supernova's magical state of the art facilities are the perfect place for children and now it can be enjoyed at The Irish Open. Every child that enters through our doors will feel the excitement, adventure and most importantly, the fun that Supernova has to offer. Join Mr McCool and his friends on their adventures, in which we have transported to the Irish Open. Let our generals and princesses take care of the kids in a professional and secure environment while the parents enjoy the golf and soak in the atmosphere that Fota Island resort has to offer. The fun doesn't stop there as we have an outside obstacle course that can be enjoyed by all ages. So no matter what the weather, Supernova is the ideal place for children to enjoy themselves at the Irish Open.
It's €10 an hour and for kids aged 4-13.0 -

Jesus wept... poor aul Tiger McIlroy. In fairness Greebo, he is new here, but that's why he doesn't know Parlance and Foreright and their dulcet tones! Maybe give the lad a break on this one and welcome him to our world, after all it's friends we want and not enemies.
Ok Tiger, Parlance & Foreright are evil sadistic people who will run you down into the ground and trod all over you and even do a little jig (but only if you are a Liverpool fan) otherwise they are decent enough people. Though I do think Par was more than a little over the top this time.... maybe he was up all night changing ****ty nappies or something so find it in your heart to forgive him I wonder will he now have the same advice for me 
Anyway as Parlance says, and if you want to meet a real boardsie who will be there on Friday in my wacky trousers, shoes, jacket and shirt.... and will have the missus and kids in tow, drop me a line.
I will be bringing my 4 month old, 3 year old, 5 year old and much much older wife with her folks and we will be there most days, but especially on Friday, where in fact they will all be taking part in my plan to win the wacky trouser experience with me!
Like yourself and will be in the area (Youghal) and wanted to go, but were only thinking that a practice day would work because of the kids. We asked someone on the tour, who has more experience of these situations than any of us here put together and he told us in no uncertain terms to bring them all every day.
Hope the lads haven't scared you off.....0 -
Your kids will be fine Stevie, they'll be hiding up a tree as quiet as mice in the hope that they're not seen with their embarrassing auld fella
I can picture you now, wacky trousers and the old crown paint jersey.
Hope it doesn't rain, could get very slippery down there for your type 0 -

Fair play..the lads havent scared me off at all its the internet and things get misconstrued etc so its all good.

i've just been reading through this, we went to Killarney with our then 1 year old, (she was 23 months old) in her buggy and had no problems following golfers and getting around the course, she was always silent when they were taking the shots and loved the clapping after, (she thought it was the funniest game) her dad, grandparents and i had a great day and saw as much as we wanted to see (we both love golf), and the buggy was handy too for storing the food and essentials!
we are going again this year now she's one month off 5 years old as as it happens the girl loves golf, she loves watching it on tv, and borrowing her granda's clubs every time she is down in their house, we bought the toy golf set but it wasn't to her liking the ball and club didn't make the same sound, so we know she's going to love it. we again are bringing the stroller as we know it will be a long day for her to walk around, and it will be handy for keeping her dry if it does rain.
honestly if parents just use common sense and prepare properly for all eventualities it will be just fine to bring them along.0 -

He was welcomed and was given a break (and some free advice to boot.)

Babies crying.
Monkeys chattering
Cork accent.
Golf gang hollering.
Joking aside - sounds a great week. Have to work out If I can get down - good few friends in cork I could gatecrash.
if you went on the absolute lash with them, and played 3 or four holes as a warm up....... i think you could win the tournament after your last performance 0 -
