Photos of Irish golf holes
« on: March 13, 2013, 10:52:36 AM »
Hope Ran doesn’t mind this asking of a favour…

Every year, I give a design presentation to a bunch of Golf Digest Ireland readers… I usually finish with a “Guess the course and hole” quiz… I seem to be shockingly low on good quality photos this year so if anyone has any and doesn’t mind me using them, I’d really appreciate if they could send on to mcintosh.golf@gmail.com

Bear in mind that they need to be quite easy… and any inland ones would be useful too…

As for this thread, maybe some of your favourite Irish golf photos would be a nice way to populate it also…

Thanks a mill,
Ally

Hey Anders,

We don't differentiate over here...

Brian - some lovely photos there and one or two I'm less than sure about...

Praying I've not played any of the others, (and guessing the hole no's) I think
5th is Dooks   3rd
7th is Tralee  16th(?) The give away is themost luxurius cartpaths anywhere this side of the atlantic. "Soft" pavement, drainage gulleys and rubber kerbs!  (Please God let me have the right course!)
8th BallyB no 12.

Fine selection.  I'll try and add a few later.

I don't understand why I can't place Brian's 2nd last photo!...

And no.3 I only got because of the background and his recent photo-tour...

Brian,

Wow...great pics!

If the 5th is Dooks I am seriously kicking myself for not playing there when I sorta had the chance.

My memory is rotten and I don't recognize a lot of them..but a couple of guesses:

1st- Cashen? (or are the dunes too far from the sea?) Carne second guess.

3rd- I have no idea (maybe Dingle area or NW?) but that greensite is drop dead gorgeous.

4th- Lahinch #6?

Probably an ofer.


Thanks for the eye candy!

2 Portrush Dunluce
4 RCD  (and the second photo; sure looks like a beauty).

Which leads me to guess (because I havn't been there) the First is Ardglass?

Apologies, brain fatigue, there are only 10 photos and they're Brians. Whoops.

So it should read -

1 - Carne
2 -
3 - Castlegregory
4 - Doonbeg - hotel in far background?
5 - Dooks
6 - ?
7 - Tralee
8 - Ballybunnion
9 - Donegal/Murvegh
10 - ?

All the best.

I still can't place No.9 even though Thomas says its Murvagh... The trees appear to be a giveaway but what hole?

Now it all makes sense... Thomas did well with those but I won't answer the other 3 (or Anders 4) because there's no point spoiling the fun... I'll give another 3 for people to guess:

A



B



C

If anyone can look at the codes and tell me why this one shows small I could fix a lot of others too!








Apparently this  is NLE?


Still Ireland

Anders,

I'll take a wild guess; is course 3 Lough Erne?

Tony,

   I think that you uploaded to PhotoBucket low-res versions of those 3, and other, photos.
   If so, the only fix will be to find your originals and upload the larger sizes to Photobucket, and then re-post them here.
   You have done it correctly with other photos.

Correct, the first Portrush picture is taken from a parkinglot on bushmill/Dunluce road

Regarding RCD 2nd shot, i realized that i have very few shots from RCD that she is not on (and i also really like that photo), but I'm not complaining,  :)

Seeing as no-one else is playing, I'll fill in the gaps:

2 - Enniscrone hole 13
6 - The Island hole 7
10. Strandhill hole 15

Donal's photos were from Concra Wood and Rosapenna OTM...

Mine were from North West (3rd hole), Portsalon (14th hole) and Rosapenna Sandy Hills (4th hole).

Thanks Thomas... and thanks to all who emailed me some photos or links...

I am stuck on one or two of Tony's ones above though... See a bit of Portmarnock and Ballyliffin Glashedy and Portsalon again... and a couple of others...

I recall Tony posted some Arklow pics a few years back. I'm sure one of the above is from that course, but I could be wrong.

My pics as Ally correctly pointed out were from Concra Wood in Castleblaney (Holes 4, 8, 10, 15) and from Rosapenna OTM (Holes 5, 7, 8, 9, 18).

Here's a very obscure one:



Answer: The par five 8th hole at Cloughaneely in Falcarragh, Co. Donegal.
