Usa 🇺🇸 have nothing like this golf course

Right, golf mates. Welcome down to day five of our island trip of Golf Hidden Gems season 4. We stayed there last night, the Great Northern Hotel. Absolutely great stay, but we’re on our travels now. Two, I’m going to show you a clip of the drone last year at Duress. I said that one of the best courses I’ve ever played in pictures. I’m positive we’re going to beat it. So, you know the score. You’re going to see what I’m going to see. Where do we go from [Music] here? [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Right, golf mates. Did you enjoy that intro? I’m telling you now. I thought Duress are up there. One of the best golf courses I’ve played visually. I’ve not played this course. I’ve done the drawn and that’s it. This is my top three golf course of all time. Now boys bringing on these beautiful views. Yeah, we’re at Crruit Island counted on a goal. Day five, hidden gems. Sces on the doors after four days. 44 points Mr. Barlow, 46 points Stewart and 46 points Liam. What I am going to say, Stu, what’s the handicaps? Three for me, eight for Liam. Mr. Barlow, he loses a shot round here. He’s off 11, but he only gets 10. What you see behind me is a little island over there. Next stop, USA, uh, par 68, 5,600 yards. Let’s just get straight on the tea cuz I’m buzzing. I just want to play this golf course. Right, here we go. Day five. Wind holy. Yes, right to left. You can see with the draw. What a stunning golf hole. 315 yards. Getting it somewhere close, but we need it right. I think Roy. Yes, I think we’re going to be saying stunning golf hole on most of them. Here goes. Is it a valve to left hand side of the furway? And I’m telling you now, I think the hole goes that way when I did the draw. I think that’s position A. We’ll find out shortly. 50/50. No, I think it’s left that it’s a long way down though, mate, isn’t it? Right, Mr. B. First t-shirt. Cutting machine. This is one of these courses where I think we’re going to let the course do the talking. It’s a high one. Top of the hill left. Is it going to make it? Yeah. Just get that. I think you’ll be all right. It won’t need much more there. Right. Look at that. Ninewood. Nothing to beat. I think that was a wedge. Give you the view of the hole, mate. Yeah. Is it down in the base? I’m debating the marker there. The wind’s hauling, isn’t it? It’ll fetch you in a bit if you walk. Yeah. Yeah. Four iron. But then you’ve got to go on that hill, ain’t you? No. That’s what I was debating. Really? Leave him. Leave the driver at home with this wind. Brought it out. That’s left as well. Left over now. Bouncing. Well, we’ve got two shot. I tell you what, that was that snatchy shot like I have been. I don’t know why I’ve been to my island so well and these drivers are all snatchy. Anyway, same fruit island. I love you and I’ve only hit a driver badly. Right, Bar? Yeah. 150 downhill. Yeah. In wind. Yeah. I’ll have to caution. What a golf ball. Got an eight iron. You’ve got an eight iron. Yeah. Unless he’s bouncing it right otherwise them bunkers are there. And I’ve hit the ground. That’s a lay up. That’s probably a safe shot, you know. Do you know what? The summer I want you to know. I’ve hit the ground. Has he got a shot? Uh, we don’t know. We know. Honestly, with one of these, we just want the course to do the talking. You can see it itself. Have you got a shot? No. Shot 13. Why you got a smile? Why have you always got to smile? Hey, golf mates. And we hit terrible shots, me and Roy. But if you look, we’re all right there. As long as we’ve got enough club to go over the bunkers, but look at it. Just look at everything there. It is what you call. This is what you live for. Simple as that. Roy, come here. What you thinking? I’m buzzing. It’s just a stunning course. We only played two holes. Two holes. Two holes practice. This is the first hole. It’s unbelievable. I don’t care about blob every hole. And I mean that. Not bad for a shocking shot that right in front of us. Roy, what is that mountain? Mount Ergo. That is a line, would you say? Absolutely. Yes. 80 yards downhill, but going to play 80 yards because of the wind. Yeah. I think if we can keep it on the green, we’ve done well. Would you agree? Absolutely. Yes. With this wind%. Loose grip. Gap wedge. Just It’s looking like a Guinness. That’s lovely. Looking like a Guinness. That’s got to go. I think Hold on. That could be rolling. Rolling. Rolling. Stay there. Yeah. Oh, wow. Wow. Took a bit of a drop. It’s still rolling. I’m going to tell you, you have learned something there. Get right to that green and forget the flag. Took a big dip. Dropped off the edge there. That was a good shot. E, I don’t care. I don’t care. Right. Hold it up in the wind, mate. Right. Then bull rushes there. That’s a good line, isn’t it? Good. Yes. Oh, you got loft. He’s gone to sand wedge. He’s gone a bit of loft. A you? Yes, he’s got sandwich. Hopefully I’ve learned by yours. Oh, nice. Messing with that bunker. Oh, not enough. Oh, is it bunker? Oh, not sure. He’s traing the bunker. Oh, I can see you. You’re okay. Am I okay? Better Roy. Listen, I thought on a Guinness. Do you know what, Ro? You know, if you hit your drive proper, you could get close, could you? You can’t get in. There’s a bunker that stops you. No. Right. Yeah, there’s a bunker there. I’ve just seen it. Right. 70. Is this the wedge that gets him up in the air now? This lob wedge cuz he needs it. This is not [Music] 70. You’ve got another 35 to go. I got it in here though, didn’t I? You did. Absolutely. Clean strike. Can we take good drive? No, we can’t say that. Can we right, golf mates? Exactly the same shot needed. Yeah, soft. You played that lovely this time. In fact, gets two more runs. Oh, yes. He’s going down. Oh, he’s got the hill. No, I’m waiting for it. The magician. The magician. You played here before. Hey, tell these little people what you think of this course. The views are absolutely tremendous. Best views I’ve ever seen on a golf course from all four angles. There’s not one bad view on this course. Stunning. Right, Roy? Yeah. Bad shot from Roy. It’s like you won’t be having a brandy on this. No. Hey, sandwiched. Sandwiched. Oh, he’s got golden ferry. Well out. Sit, sit, sit, sit, sit. Very good. Not bad. Not bad at all. Very good. Tell you what, shoot. What a golf ball, isn’t it, for scenery? Unbelievable. Look at that. Beautiful. All four endles. Beautiful view. Oh, this is not bad. Lady, love. in. Oh. Oh no. Hey, Nelly Guinness. What a great effort that was. I’m lost for words. I want to say a lot of things, but I’m just struggling to speak. Yeah. Take your shot first then. Yeah. I just, you know, we’ve been doing this YouTube very long. You just tell me somewhere better. I’m going to Oh, there we go. Square. You’ve seen the intro. I’m going to just chuck it straight away. €50 to play this God’s gift course or about 43 quid or whatever it works out. If I get it wrong, don’t shoot me. I don’t care. I’d pay hundreds to play nine holes here. I don’t mind saying it. Is it me or Steven? It’s you, sir. Right. Driver sandwiched sandwiched. Hey, you’ve not. What about you, driver? Lob wedge. [Laughter] Log right put him for par. He’s been on fire yesterday. No, not on fire today. Sorry, Roy. There’s no love in this house. No, that was a bit of a misread. Coming. The wind’s off that side, ain’t it? Right. Put in for par. Don’t come in at all. I know. I thought the wind did fetch it. Go on. Take it away. Five. Five. Is it? Yeah. Isn’t it? It is. Yeah. You laid up twice. One. I didn’t mean to lay up first one, did I? Three. That’s a six. It’s not. It’s a six. It’s not drive top at hill. You douff your second. Duff your third. Great fourth. Five. Six. Blob. A blob. Duff. The second. Oh yeah. We’re just rewinding now. You see that shot? That was a duff. Nothing. Blob. Right. Putting for par. That was a good chip as well. Deserves it. And he’s got it. What a good start. Very good. Solid par. Irish rover. Boom. Yeah, you were singing that the other night. Oh god. We’ll have to show that, won’t we? We’ll show it in a bit. Don’t want to spoil the video. Right, Morgi. Well done. Solid putting, Roy. Solid putting. First one wasn’t so good. Right. Scores on the doors. Golf mates. No points for myself. Five for one Stewart and four for two Le. So yesterday we left Bund Doran done an hour and 45 north to here and the drive. Wait till you see this drive. Just look at that. That is worth coming here itself for drive and then you get met with this. It’s like getting your best clothes when you’re younger and single. going out in your best gear, best after shave, and you pull the best looking bird or chap, whatever you like. I’m trying to give you like an analogy. What’s just brilliant, isn’t it? Right. 340 yard wind left to right out right five. Oh, shots for both of them. Perfect. Right side of the fairway. I think that’s really good. Liam going off that point. Well, I think the flag is dog leg right to left. And I’ve just about kept that in bones, I reckon. Stretching at that. Yeah, I’m just nervous driving. I don’t know why. It’s all the wind and the sea. But there’s one thing. It’s in bones, so that’ll do for me. Oh, thanks for reminding me. That’s true. Nothing for right. You could do a four for three. You get going again. Get going again. Here. Get back on the sheet. Give yourself a chance. Oh, that’s near the green. Straight down the middle. That is That is best you’ve got. That is class. That I think that’s left. No, I I think it’s some old dog like that. I just think Roy, you could walk down there and place it any better than that. That’s class. It’s not near where the marker post is then supposed to go over. Yeah, but look, they won’t have that mark post about right. That marker post could be for that T. I’m just saying you’ll be Well, I hope so. You ready? I hope you’re right. You hit it well. I did. It’s well shrug shot. Right. Follow Roy, but not as far. You definitely left or you you’ll get that little cut. Come on, pal. I’d like you to a belter. Hang you out. And a belter. He has hit high wall left hand side of the furway should come in with the wind. Kick right. That will be position A. All I’m going to say is this. Hiddly diddly. I love Ireland. I love bit and gems. I love you for watching. I love these. And I’ll say it again. Jaws on fire. And I’m going to say it now. Ireland. Have we done you proud? I just want to hear it in the comments. Don’t be lazy. I’m press right mate. It’s turned out my ball is turned out all right. Roy’s got a horrible lie. Steve’s hit a great shot. He’s not got the bounce he’s wanted. He’s got 145 and he’s hit an absolute belter. Oh, look at the wind. That’s got to be close. Is it on the green? Don’t know. What did you hit, mate? Nine. Bunker. Bunker. Oh, the cameraman just said bunker. I didn’t know it were there. You should have got one of them course map cards. What? Course management cards. management cost management card right got 125 wing left to right Hawkley a fly a lie got pitch but now part of me thinks well I should pull this a part of me thinks nine but no I’m going to stick with my gut good strike left kick it’s not done nothing that wind has a stick with a screw string oh bet that’s a bunker that didn’t move that no didn’t Cameraman didn’t say it, but it’s front edge. I think what I will say, I’ve hit that solid. Right, that was a great shot. Great connection. Do you know what? The wind didn’t do it. Rose in the wind, didn’t it? The wind didn’t take anything. I’m in line. Wait till you see this. This is so unlucky. Roy, Roy, Roy, Roy, Roy. Well, below his feet. It’s a well positioned bunker, isn’t it? It is. Never seen it, did we? Do you know what? I thought you creamed it as well. I thought you creamed yours as well. 107. You got a little wedge or a nine? I’ve got a nine. Are you just arms? But thinking of should kind of hit an A because I’m not going to get the power on this. I think you’re going to get top spin the way you’re going to hit it. So it will run forward. So it’s the right club. I’ll be happy just to hit it. Like that fell out. Didn’t do me back any good that one. No. Don’t tell us your problem still. You haven’t lost it. You haven’t lost it. Still you waited all week to tell you that. Go. Two bunkers trying to fly it all the way. I think I’m in it. It’s like I’m in the bund. Do you know what the wind could? If you get that right above the bunker, it should spin right left to right, shouldn’t it? I’d like some stop if we could. Get the wind. You got a chance, mate. Oh, knife. Need to sit. Get down. Oh, he’s got a big boat. Oh, it’s jizz back. It stayed on the green. Oh, that’s hell of a pot. Roy, take the hill again. Right. It’s on the dance floor. Roy, it’s But you can’t ask the DJ for play a different song because he’ll not hear you. Come here all week. Don’t Roy look like Benny Hill. He does massively, right, Stevie boy? Yeah. You’ll just want to get it out and it’ll run to the green. You don’t want to do nothing crazy here. And it’s looking Oh, that’s a that’s a lot of fine sand. That is just been redone these, aren’t they? Oh. Oh dear. Too much sand. Oh dear. Oh nice. Look at this. Jesus. Chuck it and rise. Well, sir. You did well then. I didn’t think you get that one out. Well, close the head, don’t you? OMP. Close the head. Close. Cause management. Right. I just I want to get this out. Really? Very very fine sand, isn’t it? Yeah, very well. I played it well. Running away. Stay there. One’s up. All right. I’ll take a five then. I’ll take you. You know, I weren’t the best T-shot. Two should go. Yeah. I would bite your hand off for a two put here. I would just take it and walk away. Something I did find out about uh famous member they’ve got here, uh Daniel O’Donnell. MBE. He’s at MBE. Daniel, if you’re watching, come on the channel. Invite us up. Famous Irish singer and TV presenter. My mom loves you. Oh, this is right to this could end up here. This This could be down here. It’s all about pace. Huge swing on this. It’s going to pick up now. Give that a whack. It’s slowing down. No, it’s four, five foot past. Not bad though. It’s not thinking that myself. I’ll have it in, please. Back as well. It’s all right. Going to go left to that pin. Hopefully, I was going to say we’re going to have a boom, but it’s not for a birdie, is it? No. No. Well, struggled on this, but we’ve got a shot. That bunker caught me. There won’t be many birdies out here today, I tell you. The bunker caught me. We had three yesterday. You ran out. No, it’s the course. He’s birded out. You’re going for a birdie. No, P. You left one with it. Bunker chops. Counting today is terrible. I tell don’t you worry. Me and Roy are here. Scramble. That’s why. Go. You got this for a two scramble. Not everything but help. That’s not even anywhere near the circle of love. You’re upsetting fanboy today, I tell you. Give you that. Can’t hear a peep. Right. Booting for power, aren’t you? Yeah, but I’ll take a five. Yeah. Outside right. Take a five. I always got work arm on a shot. I’ll take a five. Oh, I forgot about your shot. Stroke five. That’s jumped. Take that away from me. You can. You got your five. Take that. I threw my iron shot. Right. Driving out my laughing. Right. Try and salvage a point. Putting for a five. We got Benny Hill. He don’t like it. He He likes Roy. I don’t like it. I don’t like Benny Hill. Benny. Benny Hill. too much. Wow. Do you know what we say in this game, Roy? No. Great drive. Yeah. Pointing for a point. Can’t believe we’ve took you to the best course in the world and this has happened. Well, it is drive. Oh, is that another another blob blobby old going to be? Scores on the door. Hey, Sulky. Oh, sorry. Right, golf mate. Scores on that hole. Nothing for me. Nothing for Roy and 52. Liam and he’s smiling. Right, golf mates. 256 yard par for stroke 17. We’re not going for it. Well, it will stay is we’re not. I’m going to try and hit a smooth need some points four iron and a flick. Just look at that backdrop there. Golf mates. Stunning. And those way to America. Left. Left. Pulled on that stone. Oh, we’ll see what’s down there. And I’ve got a bad feeling that’s a the water. Provisional. That could go down into the Yeah, we’ve seen it on the drone. Well, I’ve done what I’ve done. Chicken and rice. What a terrible shot. You, Steve. No idea. Go on. Yeah, it might be me. I don’t know. Yeah, I think it’s me. We’re making a hash of this, aren’t we? So, me and Liam are going save. Bangabalo’s going for it. Yeah, but I need some points, don’t I? Do you know what? Why do I feel like I’m going to be all right? There’s a path going down that way. Oh, great shot. Right to the marker. To the marker. I should be good. Yep. Got to be okay, mate. Just gota land, can we? Happy with the drive, but not played before. Don’t know if I’m in trouble. A bunker. What have you got, mate? Five iron. Yeah, I get you. What views? Stunning views. Every beautiful fish. Straight out the middle. Is it going to reach the L? Oh, it’s only just gone over. It’s gone over. Borrow that tea. Depends how steep it is. Excuse me. Got me mate. Can’t you tell last night this is what we were doing? We were having a bad well over left. That’s a great shot. Right. Golf mates. The leprechaorns are in luck. Both of them balls were okay. But what a great hole. If he could play it again. Barlow’s in great position. You’re all right, but Barlow’s chipping into the wind. It could be uh Mr. Barlow’s pen eye with those guns. Yeah. So, I’ve got 99. I’m thinking just shot near that sign and bounce it over. I think if you hit the green, it could be naughty. I’ve got a horrible lie. All on the Oh, left. Oh, the wind’s got that. That could get the bunker. Oh, it’s massive. Stay on the green. That has come out hot. Oh my god. Don’t run in the water. No. Go in there. There you are. Wow. That is stopped by a foot. Just water. All right. Maybe it could have done with another bit of a kick down. Really? Kick down. You’re lucky you hit the f right. I hit straight over the marker. Just bounced over. You’re lucky there. The gods are shining on you. Birdie territory. This is going to get a huge huge kick right if we can get it there. It’s that cat saying that’s perfect. If it gets over it killed it then. Yeah. Where’s it gone? On the way. Well, got lucky then. Thank you, Mr. cameraman. Fortune favors the brave. Brave. Yeah, he’s bringing his favorite sexy out. Need the points.

Another another lovely backdrop. We’ve gone down the caves. This will be some up and down. Yeah. Right. Plane three hit it. Well, this is really good. Sit down. Hit go. It’s not for biting, is it? Go. Oh, he’s going to line. Oh, finally a cracker there. I bought a beautiful one. You did? Thought into a wind. That was class. Right, golf mates. I’m having a lot of luck this trip. This will be a kick in the teeth if I can get a par here. It will. But that was a good chip. Just prefer I don’t want to uh Is this a shot hole as well? No. Good for anyone. Wind’s going to blow this. Oh, take it away. Got the line. I know, but I didn’t want to go crazy. Take it away. I don’t know if you can see behind us here. Joel pans around. This is the famous par three over a beautiful bay, cliff, everything. I can’t wait for that all. But Mr. Valo birdie pie man. You got the line. He’s dollared it. Take that away for a p. You’re frightened. Well, I saw him. We touched it and it kept going going and I didn’t want to go past the pin. If you if you miss this, I’m going to show him our singing at Bond Doran. Okay. If I miss it, if you miss it, cuz I f I want a brand new warm me up. Yeah. I could do one. What you see now is me and Roy trying to sing, but we’re quite Mario on the Guinness and the brisies. Take it away. Take it away, mate. [Music] [Music] As holes go, this is spandar balade. Gold. Absolutely. Oh, Tom Jones on sexy and I know it 136 to the flag. Yeah. Nothing for sure. Got you know. Are you here, mate? I’m hitting an eight. Like it Roy. Got I’m an eight. Got a clear 120 at least. and get it left of the flag. Right of the flag, get up. Oh, but the wind’s got it. How does that work? What’s that? It I tell you that’s a member’s boat if I’ve ever seen one. No, it’s good. You give me a membership. Back of the green. The shot, mate. Don’t know. That’s it. That’s a kick that way. Well, they hit the green. You know that. Well, one on same eight. Yeah, mate. Yeah. Made it left of that flag. shot. I like this. This is tickling in with the wind. This is beautiful shot. Sure shot. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Oh no. Right. Do you know what? I thought that you messed me up now. Just on the edge. I thought it was a cracking shot. One on still. What have you got? N. Yeah, but Roy’s just done that and scared. No. It’s that strong wind knocking it down. Like he says just a doctor like you is it? That’s what we need in it. Yeah. The remedies follow through and he has liking it. This bank has not done anything. It’ll kick in at pin. It’s massive that spin that’s with me. The back drop there though. That’s a tricky chip. That that is downhill. I did nothing. I thought I hit that smooth solid and I struck it really well. Yeah. I expected hitting the bank looking right at pin. Not to worry. Seriously, what a golf hole this is. Look at this. Absolutely stunning. Mr. B there. Roy just shot. It’s just great. Awesome golf hole. Oh, yours, Roy. Right. He’s been good at these as you’ve seen on the video. Oh no, he’s coming back to me. This Oh, not re rolling back to him. Coming back to him. Hey, even the best do it. Hey, Stew. What’s his handicap? 3.5, I think. Try again. Oh, dear me. He’s knifed it. Stop. Oh, it stopped. Right, this lad’s got a difficult chip here. Chip and put would be great doing that on this hole. What a gorgeous hole. Not bad. This This is a lovely chip. This is great. Look at this work. Look at it go. Very good. Probably outside the magic chances. Go on. Go on. Go on. Go on. Go on. Go on. No. Finish shots from here. Finished. Is that nil pry? No points. Mr. B for birdie. Very good bird. Oh, downhill. Downhill. Oh, I’ve hit the ground. Did you hit the ground? I’ve hit the ground. Look how far it’s gone. Don’t know, but thanks for the line. Good birdie put, mate. Terrible. Hit the ground first. For a par. Solid as well. Well done. You got a shot. Great three. No. No shot for anyone this right putting for pair after a great chip. He’s showing you the line. Firming up the hole and I pulled it. Can have that. Yeah. Uh four for one Liam. Three for two myself and no points for Stuart. Right. 325 yards into the wind. Wind. What a golf. A gale. A gale. Golf mates. You see the island behind us? That’s the owi island and the wild Atlantic rugged way. And is it a belt? Left, left, left over the buggy towards the path behind there. I tell you what, that’s a big hit into wind, didn’t it? Do you think so? Anyway, go a bug and come down on that dick. You got through it, did you? What’s it done? I were quiet. I I were looking at the island and thinking, “Yeah, the Wild Atlantic Way. Famous.” What strokes this? Seven one for me and you. Uh, I don’t know what line it now with the wind. That’s the line over the rocks. You don’t want to go down there. It’s going to go all down to the right where it’s banks. We should be able to get over that lane, I think. Definitely. Perfect. Right there. Now, this will be a good hit it really well. I don’t know where that’s landed. I’ve hit that really well. Well, it’s a big chunk of what bank. You’ve hit a bank. See, right side big slope now. Yeah, the green one. Yes. Which one? He didn’t even go anywhere past there. So that drive with 11’s got about 170 and it’s it hit it and bumps down slightly. Okay, I don’t care. You can see with the views this is just 200 million times one of the best courses I have played. The drone footage says it all. He’s got to lean to this. I’m going to lean into it. Leaning into it. Perfect. Right on top of my ball. Lower fly. Has he got over the wind’s got it? Well over. Well, you’re gone past me then, ain’t you? Yeah. Yeah. If he’s on top, he’s just is on top. I’ll take them. Golf mates, find him and hit him again. Right, golf mates, we’ve got Steve. He’s got 170 on this 325 yard par4. Is it in five iron hybrid? He’s hit it. as well. I don’t know if the wind’s going to catch it. Nowhere near that, Liam. I don’t know. It’s a run. It’s running. I I reckon you got run. Put his thumb up. Put his thumb up. Say it’s okay. Right, golf, mate. It’s got a bit of a naughty line. I’ve got 135. I’ve got seven iron. Could even be a tad more. Right. Le’s on that banking. It’s going to throw in right. Got to aim left. Nice spinning. I might get that. Oh, the wind’s just taken. He’s got enough. What a shot that way. That’s got a bit of run forward. Get in. Got to move. They snatch it sometimes the driver. But all I’m going to say Joel’s going to turn around and look at that view. If you think it’s nice, like the video. 110. Yeah. 110 middle. Yeah. Into the wind. Playing 130ish. You got to look late. Yeah. Got to go way left of the flag. Hope the wind brings it in. That’s a great shot. taking it through. That is going near the pin. This is beautiful golf. I’m not sure whether that’s big enough. Oh, thumbs up. It’s on the green. Happy days. It could be a birdie. 30 more said yes. All right, Stevie’s got 80. Playing 100 shot. Beautiful. Trick editions today. Is it shot here? So do I. Oh, you get Oh. Oh, the lie. It’s a shank. The lie. Oh, that was nearly out of bounds, was it? I knew I should have a more left. Don’t lie. Based on that, you don’t have to aim a lot further left. If you get it about me, it should kick it into the pin, pal. All right. Cheers. If you go more for the pin, it’ll bounce it away. So, coming back of a bit of a shank playing four later. Bit big but come back on the green or shout at us. Don’t go with that finger for me. Got you at the green. He’s the man from Belmont. He’s not a clue. It’s definitely one of them courses or you want to play, you know, once, don’t you? Yeah. You’ll appreciate it more and more and more. I want to play this a lot. You’ll never get Imagine the conditions you’ll have on here. Wind. No wind. Right. By big right to left swing uphill. Oh, speedy speedy. Slow down. He’s going to come back off the backdrop. Watch this. Come back. Come back. I’ve just turned away. Have you heard him come back? Like he knew what he were doing. Over it a little bit. Right. I think you’re doing your homework on this one. Roy, I am having a good look at this. Leave it in. Please do the guinea. I’ll be straight on his lie. Wind’s going to help this put in it. No legs. Is it? Well, sure. Wow, that turned up the hill.

This is Golfmates Gold. We look back at some of the best old videos.

Cruit Island is considered by some to be one of the best 9-hole golf courses in the world. It is certainly one of the most scenic courses in Ireland. Overlooking Arranmore and Owey Islands and with Mount Errigal as a backdrop, Cruit (pronounced Crutch) is located near Kincasslagh in The Rosses, County Donegal. Tucked away in this north west corner of County Donegal, this is about as far off the beaten track as you can get when searching for a “hidden gem” course.

  1. Had the pleasure of of playing this course a couple of times over the years, the last time I played it was with my late cousin and in his own words ‘he wasn’t much of a golfer” but on the par three over the water I was over the back and he was on the front of the green I managed a 4 and he got his one and only par , we celebrated as if he had got a hole in one, I have some lovely memories on that course. If memory serves me right I think you pronounce it Creach Island.

  2. Love this little gem . Played it last year with a group of pals . We stayed in a lovely hotel close by called Caislean Or . Fantastic trip , great golf, beautiful hotel and all very reasonably priced

  3. Really enjoy the videos. If you all ever need a Yank to join you to maybe play a couple of Suffolk courses, I’m your guy. I was a member of Thorpness and played Aldeburgh and Woodbridge occasionally in the 1980s. Would love to join you all for a trip down memory lane.
