The countdown is on! A year until the #2027RyderCupMatches at #AdareManor. No expense has been spared to create the best European venue in years. Everything’s immaculate. The finishing holes I played last week are perfect for match play. Rory&Shane will have quite the home court

This will be a classic nostalgic look at a buddy/family roots golf trip across Ireland and Tom @coynewriter ‘s brilliant book #acoursecalledireland is the inspiration. I got the goosebumps reading it. Can’t wait to see it. @Failte_Ireland @GoToIrelandUS ⛳️☘️

Can’t wait to see this @Brittasbayclub - I’ll take out the trusty 4 rescue if the wind is howling ! 💨⛳️☘️
Grass is growing @brittasbayclub - The new 16th will be something special - at 150 yards playing into a prevailing wind what’s your club of choice? #brittasbay #golf #links #irishgolf

Links courses have very specific terrain: hard by the sea with sandy soil, native grasses and dunes shaped by the wind (and sometimes reclaimed from the sea.) Shinnecock has poa greens and bent fairways and it’s not on the water. It ain’t a links course.

I’m waiting for the next train home after a looong day in town because the driver on the last train refused to put the ramp down to assist me off. Wtf @IrishRail , you need to have a serious talk with your drivers.
Rory Mathews retweeted
Co. Louth is too low - most underrated course in Ireland and one of my favorite courses on the planet. sbnation.com/golf/2024/9/2/2…
There’s no debate that links golf in Ireland is anything less than rip-roaring fun.

Over 20 yrs with these great colleagues - Indo’s Brian Keogh & Philip Reid (Irish Times), covering this vintage era of Irish golf. All of us graduates of the pioneering College of Commerce Journalism in Rathmines (now DIT) in the 1980’s which was the first of its kind in Ireland.

First time at Enniscrone GC….
1. A proper golf course. Well conditioned, well laid out through some enormous dunes.
2. Routing (into the dunes then in the low lands and back along the dunes and coast) reminded me of Barnbougle and Wallasey.
3. The stretch from 11-16 is amazing. Back into the largest dunes and to the coast. Back and forth, up and down.
4. Greens were excellent. Noticeably pure and almost glassy/shiny in places already and it’s just May.
5. When the locals tell you they moved up their competition for wind, you know you’re in for it. Hit a 2-iron from 160 on one hole and a PW from 180 on another.
6. Feels like you can choose your own adventure on nearly every hole. Either taking on carries and blind shots or laying back and taking on longer approaches.
7. These courses are so integrated with the towns they are in. Social hubs, meeting places and you see every age and gender of players out on the course. Endearing quality.
