Hi GCAers, my name is Tim Gallant and I am a new member to the discussion boards here. Over the last few years, I have loved reading the course profiles and dialogues, and am excited to now be able to contribute.
Originally from the States, I now live in Edinburgh and play my golf at North Berwick West Links. I would love to meet some of you if you are across, so please drop me a PM if you are in the area.
As my first real post, I thought I would post a question that I am hoping hasn’t already been debated! I recently played Portmarnock, and really enjoyed the course. Before my round I had read the immortal words of Bernard Darwin (back almost 100 years ago) who said that the last 5 at Portmarnock was the best finish in the British Isles. Certainly 14, 15 and 18 are barnstormers, but is it still one of the best in the UK & Ireland? Others that sprung to mind (in no order) included: TOC, North Berwick (not biased J ) and Carnoustie. Thoughts?
