Hollywood actor names Mayo golf course as one of his favourites
American actor Bill Murray has named Carne Golf Links Belmullet in North Mayo as one of his favourite courses in Ireland.
The actor, probably most commonly known for his roles in ‘Ghostbusters’, ‘Groundhog Day’ or ‘Lost in Translation’, has been a passionate golfer for many years.
The 76-year-old actor has most recently filmed a documentary called ‘A Course Called Ireland’, which sees him travelling the country playing golf. The docu-series by Paramount features Jason Kelce, Chris O’Dowd and Joanne McNally.
Recently, he appeared on CBS Television.
“It’s like girlfriends, you’re not supposed to say,” Murray initially replied, when asked about his top three golf courses in Ireland.
First the mentions the course in Tralee, which he thought was the most beautiful. But then he continued, with “one up north, called Carne, in Belmullet, which was startling,”
