Great views but so much noise in the pics. Are you shooting in raw and just uploading the unprocessed file?

unless you are a subscriber (ie pay money to boards) you don't have access to your picture albums on the site anymore.
so you need to have your pics on another site, i generally use flickr, but i think any site will do
get the link to your pic and post like this

Just click "go advanced" and "manage attachments" upload the picture, when you have it uploaded, right click on it and "copy link location" and do as Seve posted above. Simples!!

So many photo opportunities this last week! I love playing here in the evening when there's nobody around.

The fantastic 6th hole, from the blue tees, 574 yards


And the long approach (note, I didn't actually drive it to here, but caught the far right bunker in the previous photo!)


The side of the 5th (par 3) green;


And the same green from the 6th tee box (white);


The approach to the 16th green;

I'm going mad... where is this course?? There can only be 10 courses with that much heather and I can't recognise any of the holes!

It's Notts GC (Hollinwell) in the UK Kevin - probably why it's not ringing any bells

The 17th looks very similar to before, any pics of the changes to the 18th?

The green is visible from the tee now which required it to be raised a good bit. Not sure if the tees were raised too

The photo doesn't do the height of the new tee justice, it towers above everything around it now. The green is pretty much the same height but the fairway was substantially lowered in the middle along with the new high tee.


I don't have any photos of 18 on this phone Quintis but of all the holes, 18 has had the biggest overall change to how it's played. The green now sits right on the waters edge like 16 and it is a tiny target which bowls off in every direction. The huge evergreen trees are gone to make way for a layup area on the green side of the river.

The layout of the course is still Trent Jones but the greens, fairways, bunkers and tees are all Fazio. All the greens are offset to make them very narrow and they will roll like no other green in this Country. They will be like glass all year round.

Heated greens?

Pretty much, The system is called Sub-Air. It's a pressurised drainage system that sucks excess moisture out of the greens while blowing air through the drainage to moderate soil temperature while aerating the soil to give the absolute best growing conditions and water management. First time the system has been used fully introduced in Ireland.

Croke Park has a very similar system if not the same.
