I just want to play any course in Ireland or Scotland. Don't care which one. Oh and their has to be sheep walking around on it. 

At Brora GC, a little north of Dornoch, there are wires surrounding each green to keep the livestock off.: http://golfnook.com/Brora.htm

In Ireland at Doonbeg (now known as Trump International Golf Links at Doonbeg), they have electric fences "to keep the Americans on the golf course and out of the dunes."  ;-)

If my memory is correct, the construction of that course was delayed for years, and the routing was revised, in order to protect some kind of snail.  Its a lovely course, but even when I played it 12 years ago it was vastly overpriced, as compared to its neighbor to the north, Lahinch.

Not nice. As an Aussie, you brits should respect the fact that the Americans provide much of the annual funding to maintain these courses in the best condition.

      My Swing (StuM)

      By StuM · Posted

      Foundations Session 3: Changes I am noticing so far. 1) My swing was a slower backswing with a slight pause at the top.  I am now a little faster taking it back and am eliminating the pause. 2) for years I had issues not been completing my turn and finishing flat footed.  I had been attributing that to foot & knee issues but those have been surgically fixed now but prior to The Stack I was still finishing that way often.  Recently I attributed that to muscle memory but now that I am working on The Stack I am completing that turn regularly.  I think the more aggressive down swing is varying through to the follow-through and causing me to actually make that turn. i’ve not taken any of this to the range so can’t say any definitive stats on actual changes but I feel more confident on the course.
