A bit late to the #northernlights party but southern shorelines of Ireland see this display only rarely. Last night was exceptional.

It may cause some 'debate' on its design quality but, whether you like it or not, Old Head offers a cliff-top, ocean-roaring experience that no other course can match. #irelandgolf

Ballymastocker Strand, Lough Swilly and Portsalon Golf Club at sunset. Not a bad view for 10pm #Donegal

Last night’s #sunset over the 17th at Co Sligo #Golf Club On Ireland’s #wildatlanticway @failte-ireland.bsky.social @tourismireland.bsky.social

The par-3s on the Powerscourt West course are one of many stand-out features - the greens being the biggest - so here’s the first par-3 you’ll encounter: the 2nd. Mind the water 💦 #ireland #golf

Some early morning reflections looking down the 4th at Bunclody Golf Club #irishgolf

Some morning sunrise from today

Early morning light hits the 9th green at Bunclody Golf Club, Co. Wexford. #golf #golfcourse

The clubhouse at Bunclody Golf Club is one of only two thatched clubhouses in Ireland. Just one more ingredient in the wonder of Irish golf

One of Ireland’s lesser known parklands is Macreddin Golf Club, particularly significant as it was Paul McGinley’s first design. The course roves over two sides of a gorse- and pine-drenched valley. Pics from past two days.

Sunrise starts lead to some interesting skies… and #reflections

For places I've played a lot, I still miss playing the 14th at Marianna Butte Golf Course in Loveland, CO. A very fun public course. (photo mine). Colorado provided a lot of opportunities for downhill (and uphill) holes.

I love short downhill par-3s. This would be my most memorable location: Pebble Beach's 7th (not my photo)

A popular #golf question seems to be: what is your favourite par-3? So, show us a picture of your favourite short hole and tell us where it is. Mine is the 14th on @carnegolflinks.bsky.social's Wild Atlantic Dunes course. #golflife #golfphotography #wildatlanticway

A panorama of Royal Dublin's par-3 7th green, shot back towards the tee (on the left). Anyone played this links? Thoughts? It was the first links on the island of Ireland. #golf #golfcourse #irishgolf

Early morning light at Royal Dublin Golf Club, Friday morning. My first time out with the 📸 in 2025. And at Ireland’s oldest links (1885)

January early morning view of the 7th Green at Royal Dublin Lots of curve and shadow

Storm Éowyn leaves battered Irish golf courses counting the cost www.irishtimes.com/sport/golf/2...

The car bonnet this morning. Leaf chilling out amongst the fans

Question: On what date are we legally obliged to stop saying or starting emails with ‘Happy New Year”? And should there be an executive order?

Morning trails #photography

Given the weather... 🥶

8/10 Jameson Links My Top 10 Golf Course Photographs of 2024. August morning light hitting the 18th green on Jameson Links, with hotel behind. Such a strong finishing hole. #golf #golflife

7/10 Bunclody My Top 10 Golf Course Photographs of 2024. An October sunrise over the 1st green at Bunclody Golf Club. There was the shortest of windows in which to catch this shot, the mist enhancing the mystery of the hills. #golf

6/10 Murcar My Top 10 Golf Course Photographs of 2024. An August sunrise over the 18th green @MurcarLinksGolf, north of Aberdeen. There are those who don't like wind turbines - but I think they add a scale to the epic divide between sea and sky. #golf #golflife #sunrise

David Coyne, my great friend and fellow caddie here in St Andrews, meticulously gathered the local caddies lives and their stories for over 30 years. In October his book was published. I am so proud to be involved. #blueskygolf #golf #standrews #standrewscaddies #scotlandgolf caddiestothefore.com

5/10 Portstewart My Top 10 Golf Course Photographs of 2024. Taken in August, at sunset, this is the 7th green at Portstewart. Just look at that dunescape #golf #ireland #portstewart

A fine place for a game is one of Ireland's finest inland 9 hole courses, Blessington Lakes GC. You're guaranteed spectacular views stretching across the Blessington Lakes to the Wicklow mountains. The club, known as Boystown GC until 2009, began in 1998 on the land of Donie McEvoy.

4/10 My Top 10 Golf Course Photographs of 2024 Taken in July, just after sunrise, this is Ring of Kerry's 18th and 17th greens... and 11th (bottom left). Sometimes, when you have only the tiniest window of light, you get the best photos. #golf #wildatlanticway

Sadly, this has been coming for far too long... and it comes as no surprise that the American players feel the need to be paid in order to show any competitive spunk in the #rydercup Where's the pride?

3/10 My Top 10 Golf Course Photographs of 2024. Taken in July, late evening, after Round 1 of the Atlantic Coast Challenge at CountySligoGC this is the famous par-3 4th. No bunker, just a green hanging on a ledge. #golf #wildatlanticway

Thrilled to be included in the GOLD category of golf courses in Leinster in Destination Golf Magazine's 2025 issue. They have been voted the World’s #1 Golf Travel Magazine in 2022, 2023 and 2024 by World Golf Awards, promoting the best Golf Destinations, Resorts & Courses.

2/10 Top 10 Golf Course Photographs of 2024. A June evening at Galway Bay Golf Club with golden rays lighting up the 13th green and golfers teeing off on the 14th. It's an image that captures the bliss of late evening #golf

1/10 Top 10 Golf Course Photographs of 2024. A January morning at Arklow Golf Links when there was a hard frost across the links. So blue. Greens 7, 6 and 8 #golf #ireland #golfphotography

The MacGillycuddy’s Reeks rise above Lough Leane, in Co Kerry. The 16th hole on the Mahony’s Point course of Killarney GC takes you down to the water’s edge There are 36 holes here in one of the most scenic locations for a golf course in Ireland. #golf #kerry #ireland #loughleane

A random video from the Algarve. This is Ombria, Portugal's newest course, north of Faro. Video from the 4th tee. #portugal #golf

Failte Chuig Cursa Gailf An Chairn @carnegolflinks.bsky.social to Bluesky, it's like golfing on the edge of the world. One of the most dramatic courses in Ireland youtu.be/ZzODGmiVUEc

Definitely worth a follow if you want to see what Ireland's 'biggest' and most exciting links #golf course has to offer. @carnegolflinks.bsky.social Hope to see many more Irish golf courses on here in the future

The number one reason

Does anyone still set New Year's resolutions for the #golf year? Lessons? More rounds? Fewer rounds? New shoes? Dedicated practice time? A new putter? Play with your son/daughter more? Lower your handicap? What's your goal?

For the #thanksgiving day that's in it, some beautiful light from Ireland's south, west, north and east coasts. Here are Old Head Ballybunion Portstewart The Island #golf #golflife #Ireland

Since 2009, there has been no new golf course designed in Ireland. Not one* Now, however, Curracloe Links is in development in the south east (Wexford), where Fry & Straka are creating something unique. * St Patrick's opened in 2021, but it was built on the site of two former golf courses

I sometimes wonder if I’m the only man who’s made it to their 40s without ever growing a beard, getting a tattoo or starting a podcast.

Need we say more?

Anyone interested in Irish golf? I’ve set up a Starter Pack of people you might want to follow go.bsky.app/AW8WAKW This will grow!

Too many courses, too little time! With so many famous #golf courses around #Ireland, it is easy to ignore the sparkling quality that few beyond our shores hear about. Here’s one. Ring of Kerry Golf Club. Tee shot on par-3 13th with the beauty of Kerry beyond. Anyone played it? #wildatlanticway

Bit fizzy out there, this morning Something tells me not many #golf clubs in Ireland’s south east/west will be open this morning.
