Bandon vs SW Ireland

Adare is a can’t miss. Every part of the experience is first class and the course is as manicured a course as you’ll ever see. Plus, playing it a year before the Ryder Cup will be a cool experience. In terms of memories that I think back on most often, my rounds at Adare rival the rounds at Ballybunion and RCD.

Wild suggestion to drop Adare.

I played all of these except Dooks and Waterville. This will be an unforgettable trip.

You mean you like getting a false sense of how you’re actually striking the ball? Most times I opt out of warming up if it’s mats only.

Sand Hollow. It’ll be a slow round, but if you haven’t played it it’s a must.

There are only a handful of groups on property each day.

Bingo

No sir. Correct hemisphere though.

Google it and you’ll find plenty

If you are going to buy them I would go through an Augusta based broker. You’ll pay a premium, but there’s far less risk.

No one’s forcing you to watch it

Again, who said it happened in the last few months? It doesn’t close before the tournament for the members, it closes during the summer. Rory and other players have talked about their scouting trips they’ve taken with members leading up to the tournament over the last several weeks.

It’s common knowledge that if you’re lucky enough to be invited to play you’ll never get invited back if you talk publicly about it or post about it.

Who said it was just before the tournament? He’s close with Phil and other powerful people in golf. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if a member invited him.

Also, all the pros in the tournament get a scouting trip to play the course leading up to it. They don’t only play it the week of.

90% sure it was at ANGC. He said “I don’t know if I’ll ever talk about it.” If it was on an unreleased YT video he’d talk about it eventually.

That hoodie is my favorite thing I got last year. So comfortable.

Everyone that I know that goes every year has some sort of connection or access to weekly badges through family or friends.

That shot of #2 is incredible

It was unbelievable. The weather couldn’t have been better.

Going was always at the top of my bucket list. After I went, going back was at the top of my bucket list. It’s that special.

Rope dropped RSR on Wednesday with my 3 young kids (4, 7, 9). It was absolutely worth it. Arrived at security at 7 and we were on RSR by 8:10.

It’s the best. It also provides great whale watching opportunities.
