    I don't think that photo does the tee shot justice. It looks a lot tighter when you're standing on the tee box.

    I also don't think the photo shows just how steep the walk up to your second shot is so you have to take into consideration that you feel like you've completed a full mountain hike while attempting your second shot.

    Its a great hole. One and only time I played it I took out Driver!:rolleyes:

    Out of bounds left was the result! :D

    The greens were lightening quick last sunday - that hole the 4th is where i 4 putted from the back of the green (pin was at the front)

    Very tight tee shot. I'd take a 6 there anyday.

    Those helicopter shots almost make it look flat :)

    I used love looking back on society's playing the 2nd hole not able to find the green until they realise it's 100 feet below them.

    Biggest mistakes were people not allowing enough club for the severe rises in elevation.
    I always remember having 155 yards to the green on the 12th & creaming a 4 iron only to see it come up short :(

    seen a few lads blast a ball 50 yards past the second green when hitting down from the hill!! Cough Cough!!

    I think about 75% of the greens are elevated and definitely need an extra club or 2 to get there.

    I played with a chap that actually drove the greenside bunker by mistake.
    He hit a swinging hook off the tee not having a clue where he was going.

    Kevin's photo shows the rise in elevation better.

    It's at times like this we realise the importance of friendship. Saviour every moment of it (the golf course that is, not the token friendship) :P

    Class - that looks like one of those photoshop jobs. Or a Gathering advert. Even the cart track has a drain to side (lol).

    Report due.

    I guess the purists would say there should be no cart track on a links. Tell your friend we were asking for him.

    I'll keep the report brief.
    I parred the 18th... That is all you're getting :)

    Have been trying to post a few more pics but I'm having no joy.
    They don't allow buggies at present but new paths were put in all over course during the winter. It very much looks like they're getting ready for buggies.

    Corballis - one of the new holes in the corner (next to The Island). Is it the par three?

    Did think that - but can't be 10th.

    The only hole that would match that is 5 and 6, - but can't be 10 at Corballis.

    Have not played Portmarnock (real or new holes)

    After that you are into Rush / Laytown.


    I give up - I'm just guessing every links on east coast.
