I cannot imagine a cooler place, and I have a great imagination. I would genuinely pay a membership fee just to get the unedited drone footage of that place.
So Ireland 2021 anyone?

Ireland 2021 is a lock if we donāt do Ireland fall 2020. Got some connects on the far side willing to hook us up.

Bloody hell, that episode was insane. Iāve never seen a golf course like that before. Incredible stuff.

The editing was special. @rmattgolden and @djpie and @everyone else, bravo. When the voiceovers cut out and the music got real and the 10th hole low drone flyover revealed that green it was an absolutely joyful experience

Can a course be number 1 on your list again even if youāve played it because thatās what just happened watching that video.
Spiritual doesnāt even come close.

I tried to find a gif to put here but nothing I could find seemed appropriate.
The dunes, the ocean, the light, the music, the camaraderie, the background of the place, the Guinness.
It was perfection

First time I have cried with a golf video, and it took a whole 45 seconds until @TomCoyne said: āā¦itās the golf courseā¦ itās the memories of being there with my dadā¦ā I will come back to this for decades to come. Thank you @djpie and everybody who made it possible. The par 3 Kilmore #2 with the massive dune with open sand is a place that comes back in my dreams from time to time (of course, my dad hit it very high in the dune so I have great photos/videos of him trying to get out of there).
All the right things were said (community, natural,ā¦) and @MerchCzar mentioned āa hikeā. For me, at many places it felt like being allowed to play golf in a National Park. And in the US, with roads inside the parks, it may not mean much, but in Europe, they are usually semi-sacred grounds that you can only walk and try not to disturb. Itās a truly magical place.
PS Also @MerchCzar obviously has good taste with the merch. He is wearing the one i bought!

Iāll be doing 72+ holes in 72 hours at some point this year. Anyone is welcome to join as long as they keep up. Plan is to fly Thursday night, play 2 rounds a day until Sunday night, and then get back to the US in time for work Monday. Itinerary TBD.

I played Carne just over 10 years ago. This episode nailed and there was not a single statement made that was hyperbole. That golf course is an absolute blast.
We walked and had to let some locals play through as they were playing in a cart. They stopped and chatted with us for a while. Super nice people!
And, we walked 36 holes there. First day of the trip and I thought I wouldnāt be able to finish the trip.

Everything that was said about Carne made me think of BCNā¦I know they are not the same ā¦but maybe not as far off as we think. I have never been to eitherā¦but I feel like if you removed the Course namesā¦the descriptions and regaled memories, and stories of construction by hand are interchangeable.

HAHAHA! niceā¦I missed it.
This was so good. Almost a religious experience. This mightāve bumped LaHinch from my favorite episode spot. So many moments. And the scenery - unbelievable.
Just a couple of shots I had to save, but there were dozens of moments.
āThereās no way someone actually hit it up thereā¦ā 
āIf Carne was a band, it would be Pearl Jam.ā
