I have had the good fortune to play Doonbeg in County Clare on numerous occasions and my enjoyment level of the course has increased each time I have played it.

I would highly recommend it if you are planning a trip to the west coast of Ireland. If you can afford it the Lodge is second to none.

Here is a link to some pictures I took earlier this year in the second week in October.

Have you played Doonbeg and what are your thoughts?

I havn't played there myself because of the price.

Same as that.Was down that neck of the woods two months ago, was hoping to play it but honestly just couldn't afford it.One of Norman's best maybe?Although it's hard to go wrong with natural landscape like that.

A great shot is when you go for it and pull it off. A smart shot is when you don't have the guts to try it. ~ Phil Mickelson.

I have played Doonbeg on two different trips. Been to Ireland many times. Doonbeg while nice is overpriced. There are many better options. If not for Norman's influence they were going to reconstruct the course. Lahinch nicer and much history there. Head North to Carne. It will make you forget Doonbeg exists at 1/3rd the cost. Having played 60+/- courses in Ireland with vast majority being Links, I'd put Doonbeg in my top 20 maybe.....Lodge is over the top. But just my opinion.

      I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.

      Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.
