So what did happen to the Coup? Well here’s some of the photos anyway. The story in summary is that The Coup was “stolen” from the Mount Wolsey hotel where the last night of the 2002 Coup was being held. After much effort, Mike Byrne tracked an identical replacement down. This was shipped from Jarnac […]

Maybe the four year gap between trip to Ireland made us look back and decide it was time for a return to Cognac, the previous french trip had been to Evreux in 2003, and it was 10 years since the first Coup in 1999. With Les Hiboux no longer available, we stayed at a small […]

A return to Courtown in 2004 – this time playing Seafield again and a links course further up the east coast that I can’t remember. Another great trip and probably another win for Ireland, though I have no records of who won what most years – in fact I have next to no info on […]

After the joys of Les Hiboux, a new location in France was needed when Richard and Jean sold up and moved further north. T he plan was to return to Cognac and provisional bookings were made, but in the Spring Richard confirmed that they would have sold up and new owners would be there. Les […]
