It was during Covid that Ray Schueneman was browsing through Irish Golf Clubs sites when he was drawn to the beauty of the course in Portsalon. A native of Omaha, Nebraska, Ray and his wife Libby decided to come and spend a month in Fanad four years ago renting a thatched cottage in Toome. Their general experience of the area was positive and the golf at Portsalon was very enjoyable. They pretty much made up their minds that they would be coming back to the area on a regular basis. Libby and Ray began looking at accommodation and when an apartment came on the market on the Shore Road in Ramelton they decided to take it. They like the view looking out on the River Lennon near the Quay and it’s ideally located for the short commutes to the golf courses in Portsalon, Rosapenna and Otway where the couple are members of all three clubs. The links courses are way different to the mid-west parklands in Omaha where Ray learned his golfing skills as a schoolboy. Ray and Libby now divide their time between their US home and Ramelton. They are heading back to Omaha next week but will return in June in good time for the Lennon Festival!
