Bill Clinton names his favorite golf course: Ballybunion in County Kerry Former U.S. President describes his love of the Irish golf club Bill Clinton has declared that his favorite golf course is Ballybunion in County Kerry. The former U.S. president nominated the famous links course as his favorite in the world in the 50th anniversary issue of Golf magazine. “I love it,” Clinton said of Ballybunion’s course. “It's perfectly Irish: beautiful, rough, and a lot like life — you get breaks you don't deserve, both ways. You just have to keep swinging and know it will all even out.” "Before I even set foot on Ballybunion Golf Club, the historic links on the southwest coast of Ireland, I had played it in my mind with the aid of photographs and an old course guide lent to me by an English friend." .... “It was an overcast and windy day as I joined Dick, Irish finance minister Charlie McCreevy, club captain Brian McCarthy, and the great Christy O'Connor on the links.” The President goes on to describe the “intimidation” he felt while playing his favorite golf course. “I stood on the first tee in front of more than 10,000 people, without having taken a single practice shot, looking at one of the most intimidating opening shots in golf. “A cemetery borders the fairway for 200 yards down the right side, and on that day, a strong wind was blowing from left to right. I aimed the driver well left but the wind curved it over and beyond the cemetery anyway. I was so keyed up I missed the next two shots and made a triple-bogey 7. Since his first experience on Ballybunion, Clinton has played the course twice more, and has visited his one and only statue in the world, a life-size bronze figure in the center of Ballybunion several miles from the clubhouse.

Usually when I was about 6 I would throw a fella out of the park telling them that since my house backed onto the park that the park belonged to my Daddy and that they had to get out. Met my husband by doing this! Generally after about 10 years they would decide I was a very interesting person and want to bring me back to the swings at about 4 in the morning! So the old swings rocked for me (Phnar phnar!) The new swings are too narrow for my hips! But my daughter (~16mths!) thinks they're great.:D
