Small world - I too played in a series of matches against Boston University golfers 
- I played on this side of the ocean, and played a few rounds up in the Cape Cod area. I cannot remember the year, but it was at least 8 years ago for sure.
Anyway, I'm betting you played against some friends of mine - Marty Kelly from Belvoir, Ian Hopkins, who was the manager there for a while, Ed Kelly from Dublin, Nicky from Belfast? Ring any bells?? 
Let me know - I played against 2 guys from Boston - one was called Andy, the other was Lou Body, who was turning pro hockey right after college I think? Are we travelling in the same circles?

That is really, really funny. Lou Body was one of my teammates on the Harvard golf team - he was two years older than me. Good defenseman on the hockey team, could hit a golf ball miles and miles. (His pro hockey career didn't amount to much, though, partly from injuries and partly because I don't think he was quite good enough to break out of the minors.) I think he was in the Class of 1994, so it was probably the summer of '94 that you went on your trip.
I went on the trip to Ireland in the summer of 1996 - if you've read my book, you'll be interested to know that a brief description of that was left on the cutting-room floor, so to speak. Three of us had just finished a two-week tour of Scotland before heading over to Ireland - I had a good time, mostly, but I was well-and-truly golfed out by the time we finished up. I don't remember many names of the Irish guys I played with, and yours don't ring many bells...I remember playing The European Club with a nephew of the great Liam Brady, but that's about it.
One of these days (sooner rather than later, I hope!) I'll have to go back across to Ireland and do it properly.
If you're ever up for a game at Machrihanish, drop me a line at Darren@kilfara.screaming.net, will you? (I wish the stupid Campbeltown-to-Ballycastle ferry would get started again - that'd make such arrangements much easier to put into practice!)
Cheers,
