Have played both. Playing 1st round August at Doonbeg. Couldn't play Lahinch as member event all week. That was preferred but Doonbeg very nice too.

I typically suggest that a SW Ireland trip should be your first trip over. A real nice group of courses and ton of fun. Lahinch sits on the North side of entry point of a SW excursion, so is typically the first round or possibly 2nd if Doonbeg in royayion too. Then rest your bones in Killarney...

Looks like a fun time. Late in day with a bunch playing skins would be awesome.

Many have thoughts about making a trip over to play the great links courses in GB&I. Please know that very far in advance planning is required if you have designs to go in the prime time of mid summer. You need to be executing on your plans 18 months in advance if you expect to play the name...

Cemetery out to right of #1 is like a magnet

Good hire. Imagine OSU will elevate it's program shortly. PSU is beyound loaded for next year. Recruiting is tough as there is a very highly rated wrestler at every weight. And a couple Starocci and Bartlett are coming back when most including Moi hoped they would just move on.

Sweet digs. Enjoy.

Not my style. Nice bag though.

Yes

If the hole is built in such a way that you can't get there from here directly putting. I'd say if I'm feeling confident and the design is stupid, Yea I will pull out my wedge. The one time I played Pine Valley the 8th hole has two greens and I pushed my approach to the wrong green. Caddie was...

Staying there our last night with the guys. That hole pictured last tee box is out to right. Elevated blind tee shot but fairway is very wide. Par 5. Hole 12. Bud who passed and had made a couple trips over with me had in his will he wanted his ashes spead on 12 tee box. Following year we made a...
