Recommend by Gordon Ross Kington is an absolute delight. At 1284 feet high, a welcome summer breeze, stunning views & strategic design comes as standard. Only 3 green staff & a few hundred sheep as helpers, the rumpled fairways and green sites were fun and faultless. Go visit.

I am sure that Enniscrone Golf Club will want to rid itself of its โ€˜hidden gemโ€™ status as its name and reputation spreads far and wide. Great course! Shout out to Diamond Coast hotel, Pilot Bar, Gilroyโ€™s and the best name of the lot - Spicy Affair - for looking after our F&B needs.

Day 2: Atlantic Coast Challenge The County Sligo Golf Club. The leader from Day 1 was on 44 points so our new focus; the lost ball count. I tried but couldnโ€™t seem to lose a ball๐Ÿค”The setting is spectacular despite the low mist. Big changes happening on the course and itโ€™s all positive.

Extensive tree clearance and bunker work over recent years has transformed the Alister Mackenzie design from good to great, and itโ€™s the kind of design that will ask all the right questions - Golf Monthly

A soil importation success story complete with a new short game area, driving range and full course irrigation. Implementation was no doubt challenging but what an amazing legacy for the next generation of Headingley Golf Club member. And it shows. Course conditioning was ๐Ÿ”ฅ

The North Leeds Classic enters its second day Sand Moor Golf Club and we are not last๐Ÿ‘ This was the last time I saw my ProV1 having โ€˜swiped leftโ€™ into the trees from back of the 11th. Great event and warm camaraderie. Shout out to Patrick โ€ฆ who just makes the event run so seamlessly.

Happy 68th birthday to three-time Open champion and Honorary Member Sir Nick Faldo. Sir Nick Faldo won the Car Care Plan International in 1984, in front of over 20,000 fans, to defend the title that he had won at Sand Moor. Both times Howard Clark would take second spot.

Final day and a climatic ending. Unbeknown to the Northcliffe team they โ€˜onlyโ€™ had to score 5 stableford points on the imposing 447 yard final hole to win. They came up one short so the Baildon team waiting in the clubhouse prevailed. So glad we paid the good weather supplementโ˜€๏ธ

Things were so different in 1933. Just look how the Club managed to squeeze in The 1933 Ryder Cup S&A Golf Club in between a club match v Huyton & Prescot GC and the monthly medal. How times have changed ๐Ÿ˜‚

Hole 2 | Par 4 | 251 Yards The definition of a risk reward hole. Longer hitters may decide to take on the green. Alternatively, an accurate tee shot to the right of the fairway bunker will leave a pitch or chip to a small two-tier green, sitting close to the boundary fence

2005 vs 2025 'Over time there were a lot of trees close to greens, you had a lot of shade issues, you didnโ€™t get the air flow and would get water drop-off, which can generally knock things back. Now the greens and the areas around the greens have significantly improved'
