More orange than I'm used to seeing in a golf course. Irish Open coming up. Just click on play, it'll open in a new window/tab.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

That's cool. It would have been cooler if more of the course was visible (they seemed to focus on that par three).

The orange stuff is actually more yellow and is the gorse, yes?

The orange (or yellow, I agree that's more accurate) stuff is indeed gorse.  While its rather attractive when in bloom, gorse is a malevolent, evil, thorny shrub of immense strength and resilience.  Its thorns are incredibly sharp, and stick out well past the blossoms.  Can you tell I've hit a few balls into the gorse in my life??

Also called Furze on that side of the Irish Sea. Smells nice in bloom too - like coconut, but a large bush or patch is effectively a water hazard as far as I'm concerned.

      My Favorite Putts

      By Clemsonfan ·

      August 2010 Woodfin Ridge 18th hole Playing in a large tournament with a slew of friends and the last day was two man best ball. The 18th, when it was bent grass, was very fast due to a steep slope on the right side. I had seen many people over the years putt off the green from above the hole. I hit a great drive and 3W to 30’ left of the hole. With everyone watching my partner hit it way too fast and never high enough and his ball rolled all the way to the bottom of the green.  I hit mine much higher and the ball came to rest about 20” above the hole. Then it slowly started trickling towards the hole for a walkoff eagle! Nobody said anything except my partner who was yelling pretty loudly. I looked at the crowd and told them it was okay to clap because it was a great putt, and they gave me a bunch of polite golf claps and brought me a beer!

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Day 127: 5/2/24 Stack Full Speed spectrum training session 6/24. Training speed was 5 mph higher than previous high, as was e-speed. Still not as high as I have done in previous programs, but just 1 mph lower. Battling through a neck issue, and possible trigger fingers. Happy with results.

      Day 49. Played 9 from tees a bit beyond my comfort zone and was humbled. Hit a couple good shots so will take that at least.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By saevel25 ·

      +12 47, and never lost a ball or had a penalty. Got the snap hooks off the tee for the first 3 holes. So, playing the punch out game. Probably had like 20 putts. Bad short game day. The greens were weirdly firm but slow. I just don’t get spin out of the rough. I had a SW, with good height hit middle half of the green and end up almost off the back of the green. I know what I was doing with the full swing. Bad habits creeping in.
