Golfing couple: Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones pose for the cameras on the course at the JP McManus Pro-Am Tournament in Limerick, Ireland today


There aren't many wives that would join their husbands out on the golf course.

But being the supportive spouse, Catherine Zeta Jones was by husband Michael Douglas's side today as he took part in a golf tournament in Ireland.

The Hollywood couple were special guests at the JP McManus Pro-Am Tournament in Limerick, which saw celebrity players take on the professionals for charity.

With Douglas, 65, one of the celebrity players, Catherine was there to cheer him on as he made his way round the course.

She looked very chic on the green in her twisted beige mac and wedged shoes, topped off with a baseball cap and dark sunglasses.

With a kiss for good luck, she watched as Douglas teed off, snapping pictures of her man in action.

The annual event is held to raise money for Irish charities with celebrities and pro golfers taking time out of their busy schedules to take part in the two-dayer, organised by one of Ireland's biggest tycoons, JP McManus.

The couple were joined at the Adare Manor Hotel and Golf Resort by fellow actors Samuel L. Jackson and Kyle MacLachlan, who were also participating.

Desperate Housewives star MacLachlan, 51, looked happy to be there as he made his way round the course, enjoying his time off from filming the US smash hit show.

Jackson, 61, on the other hand, looked very determined as he played, and even looked a little crestfallen as one shot didn't go the way he planned.

He is understood to be very serious about his golf, Jackson probably jumped at the chance to play at the event.

The Pulp Fiction star is understood to have a clause in his film contracts that allows him to play during production.

And he once stated that the golf course is the only place where he can go 'dressed as a pimp and fit in perfectly'.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp, 63, also took part in the golfing event as well as American-Irish dancer Michael Flatley, 51, who stopped and signed autographs for fans.

But most of the focus was on disgraced golfer Tiger Woods, a regular contestant in the annual event and All eyes were on the 34-year-old as he made his way round the course.
