A bit late to the #northernlights party but southern shorelines of Ireland see this display only rarely. Last night was exceptional.

It may cause some 'debate' on its design quality but, whether you like it or not, Old Head offers a cliff-top, ocean-roaring experience that no other course can match. #irelandgolf

The par-3s on the Powerscourt West course are one of many stand-out features - the greens being the biggest - so here’s the first par-3 you’ll encounter: the 2nd. Mind the water 💦 #ireland #golf

The clubhouse at Bunclody Golf Club is one of only two thatched clubhouses in Ireland. Just one more ingredient in the wonder of Irish golf

One of Ireland’s lesser known parklands is Macreddin Golf Club, particularly significant as it was Paul McGinley’s first design. The course roves over two sides of a gorse- and pine-drenched valley. Pics from past two days.

For places I've played a lot, I still miss playing the 14th at Marianna Butte Golf Course in Loveland, CO. A very fun public course. (photo mine). Colorado provided a lot of opportunities for downhill (and uphill) holes.

I love short downhill par-3s. This would be my most memorable location: Pebble Beach's 7th (not my photo)

The short par 3 7th hole at Pebble Beach with waves crashing off shore.

A popular #golf question seems to be: what is your favourite par-3? So, show us a picture of your favourite short hole and tell us where it is. Mine is the 14th on @carnegolflinks.bsky.social's Wild Atlantic Dunes course. #golflife #golfphotography #wildatlanticway

Question: On what date are we legally obliged to stop saying or starting emails with ‘Happy New Year”? And should there be an executive order?

A fine place for a game is one of Ireland's finest inland 9 hole courses, Blessington Lakes GC. You're guaranteed spectacular views stretching across the Blessington Lakes to the Wicklow mountains. The club, known as Boystown GC until 2009, began in 1998 on the land of Donie McEvoy.

Sadly, this has been coming for far too long... and it comes as no surprise that the American players feel the need to be paid in order to show any competitive spunk in the #rydercup Where's the pride?

Does anyone still set New Year's resolutions for the #golf year? Lessons? More rounds? Fewer rounds? New shoes? Dedicated practice time? A new putter? Play with your son/daughter more? Lower your handicap? What's your goal?

Since 2009, there has been no new golf course designed in Ireland. Not one* Now, however, Curracloe Links is in development in the south east (Wexford), where Fry & Straka are creating something unique. * St Patrick's opened in 2021, but it was built on the site of two former golf courses

Too many courses, too little time! With so many famous #golf courses around #Ireland, it is easy to ignore the sparkling quality that few beyond our shores hear about. Here’s one. Ring of Kerry Golf Club. Tee shot on par-3 13th with the beauty of Kerry beyond. Anyone played it? #wildatlanticway
