Ballybunion is at the top of my favorite course list, ever played.

If I recall, this photo is looking down at the 17 fairway?

Thanks for sharing, brings back great memories.

I was at home awaken by a text from my boss asking if I wanted to play Bali Hai 25 mins before they tee'd off. After jumping out of bed and getting to the course this is what I was greeted with. Nice course right on the strip & awesome staff running the place. [IMG] [/IMG]

I've been playing quite a bit of Links golf over here of late.

Several trips to Corballis Links, a public course that will set you back 10-15 euros.... Has to be the best value for golf anywhere.

It's next door neightbour, The Island Links, will set you back 100-150.

It's a short course, Par 66, with 6 Par 3's but it's an excellent test of golf.

Here is one of the par 3's.

Also got to play The European Club last Friday in an Open Competition.

The first counting (for HC purposes) competition of 2014 and my 36 stableford points earned me a 0.3 HC reduction.

The winner had 38 points, the Pro said anything over 30 points out there is a good score, I was delighted with my 36pts (88 strokes) until I seen Tigers card with 67 hanging up in the clubhouse. :-D

Parred the Index 1 that Jack Nicklaus rates as one of his Top 100 golf holes too ;-)

Didn't get a proper photo of the place but here's on that I found

Too funny - just swung through there about an hour ago. Awesome what the sun can do in just a few hours. Hopefully last night's dusting was a fond farewell to winter weather - time to tee it up!!

You guys really put the ancy in fancy.

If I ever get a camera out on the course, I'll try to get you the Cargill corn syrup plant looming on the horizon at my home track.

    • Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing. 
    • _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.
    • Day 254 5-4 Arms off chest in backswing and downswing. Short swing, pause and then hit.  Hit foam balls. Keeping arching of wrist a focus as well. 
    • I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers. 
    • I haven't been able to practice like I wanted and won't for the next week.  1. The weather sucks in Ohio this year. I have been mostly inside hitting foam balls. Just kind of my basic stuff.  2. I woke up last Saturday with a left side rib muscle on fire. If I turned or leaned a certain way it would spasm that almost buckled my knees. I have been taking a break to let that settle. I don't want to get a long term injury. I think I pinched a nerve or just aggravated a muscles.   3. I am going on a mini-vacation to Florida (screw you Ohio weather) with a friend, and rolling that into a work conference I have next week. I will be with out my clubs for a week.  I will be back next in two Fridays to hit the ground running with some warmer temps and better weather in Ohio, hopefully. I would really like to get more out on the course and the range.
