@Top100Rick You take 3 trips of a lifetime every year!

[Todd Bonneau @BonneauTo]

If it would have been calm, soft, ball in hand at the Colonial the scores would have been low…similar to Nelson. Weather is everything, also first year for course to grow in so no rough at TPC. Craig Ranch will play tougher in the future…amazing what difference a week makes…

[Jake Weaver @MidwestGolfJake]

Colonial is giving these guys fits!

More courses like this and less courses like TPC Craig Ranch on the PGA Tour.

[Todd Bonneau @BonneauTo]

Even in peak season rounds cost under $400 to play. Compared to Pebble/Kohler/TPC Sawgrass or even Frisco…substantially less. Pure golf, fun to play, and a very reasonable hit to your wallet. We just went in February, had great weather and rounds were under $200. Fantastic!

[Bob Sturm @SportsSturm]

@BonneauTo how do we avoid being gouged?

[Todd Bonneau @BonneauTo]

Cliche to play the purest golf in the US and not being gouged to do it??? It’s fantastic!

[Bob Sturm @SportsSturm]

I gotta get to Bandon Dunes. I know it’s cliche but sometimes you got to give in to cliche.

[George Dunham @GeorgeDunham]

Thank you Sarah! You did such a great job on the article and showed the logical side to the story

[Todd Bonneau @BonneauTo]

What a day! I remember we all went to Deserano’s and smoked Swisher Sweets from his rooftop that evening.

[George Dunham @GeorgeDunham]

Thanks to @SportsSturm for finding this article from so many
years ago and yes I was called Durham 😏

[Todd Bonneau @BonneauTo]

Much needed…enjoyed the views at EC but the course was anything but fun…

[Rick Golfs @Top100Rick]

The European Club is no more.

Long live Brittas Bay!

New ownership will be turning it into the newest golf resort in Ireland.

Kyle Phillips has been hired to completely reimagine the formally brutally tough course.

Expect it to become a huge hit. Kyle Phillips designed Kingsbarns, one of the most popular golf courses on the planet.

Follow them to see the progress!

[Todd Bonneau @BonneauTo]

Ok Art, two things…first, the drop off didn’t start until November…the second…where were your Baylor Bears this year???

[Todd Bonneau @BonneauTo]

Love this play, great video, even better knowing Minnesota fans can’t get over it…not a single frame shows Pearson pushing off…only that 43 overran the ball! Miss those days when Cowboys won meaningful games!

[Jeff @MNTwinsZealot]

1975 NFC Playoffs…Did Drew Pearson push off?

(The great Dave Volsky has restored this & multiple great NFL game games now on YouTube).

[Todd Bonneau @BonneauTo]

Around 15k tickets at AT&T are
Standing room only…but you can only see if you are in front!

[Bill Mitchell @mitchellvii]

Wow, aren't the seats assigned in advance? Does anyone understand this?

[Todd Bonneau @BonneauTo]

Thanks for the call…

[Art Stricklin @artstricklin]

Today at new Wild Spring Dunes East Texas, Tom Doak design. For Texas Golf, it’s always who’s next! ⁦@NTXPGA⁩ ⁦@TexasGolfAssoc⁩

[Todd Bonneau @BonneauTo]

Nobody!…except maybe Arizona State?!?

[RiffRaff3232 @Riffraff3232]

Show me one team that can beat Texas Tech on the football field this year…

You can’t, because there isn’t one…

And words cannot describe how much I am pulling for that team…

So it should be guns up!

[Todd Bonneau @BonneauTo]

@Jaig_Eyes77 It’s just hard to believe after the perfection of the Cotton Bowl Winter Classic the Stars felt the need to go for the money grab at Jerry World.

[Todd Bonneau @BonneauTo]

Won’t hold a candle to this…

[Robert Tiffin @RobertTiffin]

There you go.

[Todd Bonneau @BonneauTo]

@golfcourses101 If it was good enough for Tom it’s good enough for me! Such a fun hole

[Todd Bonneau @BonneauTo]

Ireland.

[MYGOLFSPY @MyGolfSpy]

What is the absolute best golf trip you ever went on?

[Todd Bonneau @BonneauTo]

Lahinch is such a treat!

[Rick Golfs @Top100Rick]

Lahinch Golf Club - 1892
Old Tom Morris/Alister MacKenzie
#37 in the World Top 100
$500 USD

There are arguments all the time about what the “best” golf courses are.

I’ve learned what is way more important to the individual is what their favorites are. And I can tell you Lahinch is immediately one of my favorite courses I’ve ever played.

Lahinch is a soulful experience.

One of the most unique golf courses on the planet, it has golf holes that boggle the mind. Original Old Tom Morris holes Klondyke and Dell are truly 2 legendary designs that are time capsules to a different time. You couldn’t design them today.

Alister’s influence means greens that are rollicking fun. If there is a weakness to the great Links courses, it’s that the greens are often flattish. That’s not an issue here, the greens have lots of internal contour so the thinking doesn’t end when you’ve made it to your putt.

The routing weaves through the dunes providing wonderful views and varying wind battles. If there is small demerit, it’s that the final 5 holes are back and forth. The holes themselves are great, but you may end up with 3 straight finishing holes dead into the wind, like we did.

The course is hard, but playable and fun. The giant dunes and blind shots make well played golf shots especially rewarding. The blind shots require imagination and faith, you have to choose a line and commit without the benefit of a finish line in sight. The 4th hole does have a flag waver who lets people know when to hit.

I can’t say enough about Lahinch. Ireland has so many great courses, but this will be the one I think about the most. I play golf for fun and quite simply, Lahinch was the most fun.

Lahinch is my cup of tea. If you like quirk, like I do, get here.
