I've got a lot of friends who have played in Ireland/Norn' and absolutely raved about RCDGC...I had no idea however if it had the hotels and infrastructure to support TOC....too bad because from a TV viewership standpoint, with those hills in the background, it would likely be the most scenic OC course....

I dont think thats real golf in a way. I mean sure its golf but "real" Real to me is lots of hazards, Trees Elevation changes narrow fairways.. Not wild grass 2 feet tall with pot bunkers here and there in 40 yard wide fairways... please...

Each to their own. I see that as target golf. RCDGC is all about playing the right type of shot at the right time, given the conditions. You have to manufacture shots, and you will use every shot in your bag around that golf course. I can't wait for the day I get to play this track again. I just need to find someone who is a member so I can get on for £15.

Well done Grasshopper! You learn well. 2 years ago would have seen possibly different response, no? Kudos! And A+ for grammar and spelling.

I found the bunker on the right about 270 out. FRom that bunker, I hit the greenside bunker and then got up and down for par. Easy 4!



I think my alignment is screwed. Looks like I was aiming directly for that bunker.
That's what I was thinking. My first thought when looking at that hole was "powerfade, big time". I'd love to play a course like that. Best I can get around here is when the wind kicks up and I can ride it or fight it. Other than that, you guys are right, mostly target golf.

Thanks for the pics.

Well I had to learn how to spell at some point in my life.

Bravo there has been a postal strike for the past 2 years here, so the turkey is still on its way and should arrive by this christmas.

Well IG how are you fixed for a game sometime? A UK golf outing sounds good to me, now that the shottalk UK membership base has grown a lot over the past year???

Maybe there is, I haven't really been keeping a close eye on the forums recently, so I'm still catching up on a lot of older posts.

My new SC requires an oily rag, so I wouldn't ever discard that. As for Republicans...what was the question again?

@ you guys.

, aussi, at WildcatGolfer and his "that ain't real golf" comments. In fact, make that 2 X .


Yes, we must get something sorted real quick. Be good to get a couple of 4-balls or something sorted out. Hopefully get a good enough day weather-wise for it, as well.

We should also get a British Isles V. The Yanks Shottalk Ryder Cup like comp. going, too. Make it bi-annual with you guys coming over here and vice versa. I'm sure we could organsise something given a fair bit of time, etc....

Brav., I have climed said hill. It is called Slieve Donard and I placed my rock right at the top of a huge pile of rocks so that mine was at the highest point in all of Northern Ireland Still have the little rock to this very day - and this was a hike that was done 10 or 11 years ago...!
