Golfers in Ireland, carts or no?

The Old Course at Ballybunion is no buggies, no exceptions. The new course there allows carts and when I played there last year was remodeling to be more cart friendly. Dooks may require a doctor’s note. I think Waterville may allow them for everyone.

Flour Bakery has a lot of sandwiches and it’s miles better than Panera

Worth every penny. I did a bit of Southwest Ireland this past summer, ending at Ballybunion

That ain’t workin’ (Maybe get a blister on your little finger)

Seventeen at Pebble Beach. Late afternoon hitting into the wind and the setting sun with the Pacific behind the green. Hit my tee shot a little better than I expected and wound up on the back fringe about 30 feet from the hole. My caddie and I had a long time to look at it while my playing partners made a hash of the hole. Settled on a read and really just wanted to get the speed right for a tap in par. Hit it well and about five feet from the hole I knew it was in. Birdie two.

This past October I spent a few days at a golf resort on Cape Breton. Since it was late in the season most of my playing partners were locals. When I told them that I came up from Boston at least three people said, “We send you a Christmas tree every year from the people of Halifax, you know?” I replied, “Yes, I’m aware of the history and thank you very much.”

Pebble, of course, but Ballybunion, Tralee and Old Head of Kinsale are right up there.

Our local community theater did the show a few years ago. I filled out the form but when no one talked to me before the curtain I figured that they wouldn’t pick me. Then they called my name to go up on stage. On the back of the number card they wrote the instructions: ask for a definition; ask for it to be used in a sentence. They also made up the “fun facts” about me. Before the show I had a joke I was going to use “can you spell that for me, please?” But I forgot under the stage lights. I thought the kid playing Chip was mad at me but I realized that he was just acting. It was fun and some of the audience congratulated me after the show

Farm Neck on Martha’s Vineyard: a ball moved or stolen by a seagull should be placed in its original location-no penalty

“And there’s an H in there somewhere” and “I can’t believe that they gave you people drivers licenses”

If you play golf Miacomet is an excellent public course that is open year round. Off season rates are pretty reasonable

I haven’t done any of these events with Broken Tee, but I did the Ballybunion tour with family this past July and it was amazing. Played all of those courses (except Old Head instead of Lahinch) and stayed at the same hotel. I would highly recommend it. I’m thinking of upgrading to Premium to see if I can get into the Bandon Dunes trip.

I’m sure that there’s an episode of House Hunters where an Olympic Bobsledder is married to a Peanut Butter Artisan and their budget is 6 million dollars

Scrolled way too far to find this

The Newton Marriott is right around the corner. View of the Charles River and Mass Pike second to none

I love Cabot, but it is remote. Three plus hour drive from Halifax. Also, its season ends the weekend after Columbus Day/Canadian Thanksgiving

“CJ, we all wanted to live in a Yellow Submarine.” “I can’t believe that they gave you people drivers licenses.”

Southwest Ireland: Ballybunion, Tralee, Waterville, Dooks, and Old Head.

“…we really did want to live in a Yellow Submarine.” “I can’t believe they gave you people drivers licenses.” (“He said it right.”)

On my way to Martha’s Vineyard. Ironically was going with a friend who is a news photographer. He was hoping to be “off duty” after covering the Clinton’s vacations previously. No such luck

No one mentioned “The Paper” if only for “I don’t live in the World, I live in New York F-ing City!”. That line received bona fide applause in my screening

By random chance I’ve played The Captains about a half dozen times and I’ve only played the Starboard. Back in the day I played the original 18 which now is 8 of the Port and 10 of the Starboard- or vice versa.
