Yeah I figured that would be the case for a number of these. I haven’t gone back and re-watched any episodes yet (waiting till they are all released) but there were a few songs that I just couldn’t get enough of.

There have been a couple times in this series where I have forgotten who was wearing what and could not tell the difference between @HashtagChad and @djpie. Bundled up and in a beanie these 2 are remarkably similar looking in build, swing and complexion.

I also feel like they have a similar game. They really know how to manufacture the right swing for a given situation.

Left field question…did you guys happen to cross paths with one of the American owners at Waterville by the name of Jay Higgins?
Also, can we say best tee markers ever as well?!

All around classiness at Waterville Golf Links
one of my favorite discoveries while studying abroad in Ireland was finding out that the Irish love country music, especially garth brooks (not great, but we’ll allow it). Honestly shocked the boys didn’t cut to a hearty rendition of callin baton rouge.

It makes sense. I’m bastardizing a century of music history, but country music is basically the lovechild of Irish fiddle music played in Appalachia, American folk, and the blues.

I have not, but I’ll add it to the list. I took a few classes on music history in college as part of my #prestigious International Studies degree

Can’t wait to fire this up later today.
Waterville is among my 3 favorite courses in the world. Sometimes it’s #1
Help me understand:
I didn’t want to get onto a YouTube comment battle with this guy but will someone please explain how this comment can exist?

I have to assume this is C-Suite scumminess waking the Big Guy, @Randy from a beautiful slumber to do interviews? If so, uncalled for.

Randy giving serous hungover after 35 vibes…
Also “he was a regular (wink) visitor” might be the sauciest move of all

Another great ep fellas. I remember reading about Waterville in A Course Called Ireland and it really sounded like fun. That one seemed to stick out from a lot of others in the book.
Loved following along with the brotherly match, but this might be the first time I genuinely felt bad for Neil when he started Icarito-ing. Usually it’s sort of humorous to watch, but this one just felt sad. However, I definitely put up a big fist pump when he buried the last one!
Also, again @djpie with the cinematography (or was it @MerchCzar with the b-roll?):

The fact that he’s likening the NLU crew back to a TV rock band from 60 years ago is probably all you need to know.

Maui, I just wanted to say that I really appreciated your honesty and internet courage in this thread. To wade into the shark-infested waters that is The Refuge and to deliver a powerful and persuasive sermon like you did is admirable and impressive. You are absolutely on the money that the first episode at Doonbeg weirdly avoided any concrete criticisms of the course and instead uncomfortably tiptoed around the Trump subject for the majority of the episode before inserting a superfluous moment at the end where they soothed the worries of The Refuge by proclaiming their support for AOC. How can you go to the 6th ranked course in Ireland according to the Top100golf website and not offer any ACTUAL critiques of the course? A bizarre choice.
Thankfully, the episodes since have been a lot better.
I tip my hat to you Maui, well done!
