 I'm about to spend 72 hours in Ireland, three golf courses, one visit to the Irish Open at the K-Club, first stop, breakfast. Can I take your order, please? Can I get a sausage and a muffin meal, please? Here you go. I know that sign for you. Here you go. Thank you. And now it's time to pour that ferry jump on the Irish Sea and get ourselves over to Dublin. Hi there. There you go. It's all of us. Great. Thank you, kids. The general imaginatively will down. Right, so that's it. We are on the water. We've left Holly Head and on our way to Dublin Port. And then it's a quick trip to my first stop-off. Well, it's literally the first time in, I think, about four years that I've been to Ireland. Then it's one of my favourite places in the world, not just for golf. I just love the place. Right, okay. Well, finally back on dry ground, but a little bit longer than expected, to be honest with you. I'm now at the lay on the ferry, so I'm making our way to my first tea time. A little bit tight, but I've finally returned to some links golf, which I've been missing massively. And I can't wait to get back on that surf. Right, so quick check into the hotel here at Port Marnet Links. And bags dropped off. Clubs I'm going to get from the car now, and then we're going to jump on a buggy and get to the first tea. And I'll be honest with you, I just can't wait to see what is behind that camera. Just out of breath with the excitement playing through those first five holes. I've already said 10 years since I played here. But more importantly, just to get back on Link's turf, it is the major appeal to me in terms of the style of golf. I just love it. And over in Ireland, Link's golf, well, it's just in abundance. Now, apart from all the significant course changes since I was last year, 10 years ago, there is one addition that I can't wait to try. And that's a new halfway house going to be rude of me not to sample again. Oh, come on, be right. Be right. I have no idea if it's right, but my God, that was so enjoyable. Okay, so this morning I have gotten up relatively early. You can see there's some amazing sunlight that is coming onto my face, but down this other way, I'm about to fly the drone. And hopefully it looks incredible. There's a low lion mist within the golf course. And certainly well worth getting out of bed for early. And yesterday and then this morning, I've kind of just realized what it is that really sort of motivates me in terms of creating content. And I've got to find some way of bringing this kind of thing back into my channel on a more regular basis because, you know what, I just love this. I'm not so much an early riser, but there's very few things that would get me up out of bed at such an early hour with such enthusiasm than looking at our Link's golf course that I am doing right now. There's a little bit of drone and hopefully fingers crossed. It looks as good as what I think it does out there. I've just spent quite a lot of time around here, but can anyone just take a glance back and tell me that's not incredible? Or am I the only one that gets excited at looking at things like that? That green, the green complex on, this is nine stunning par three. When you're seeing from that side, you're looking at the green and then the ocean in the backdrop. It's just, oh my word. I've just finished taking a load of photographs, which I'll throw up on screen for you now and some sort of montage along the way. Let me know what you think of them. For me, you walk on a golf course and you'll see some of the most incredible landscapes and potential for photography than anywhere. You don't need to climb up any mountain and I just love this kind of thing, but I'd love to share more of it with you lot, but I'm not 100% sure everybody else wants to watch it in terms of video content, so you can let me know. The only negative of the day was I was in a bit of a rush this morning. I wanted to get the light and I didn't change any golf shoes. My trainers and socks are absolutely soaked through, but hopefully it was worth it. And you know what? That's got to be one of the most enjoyable mornings I've had on the golf course. I didn't even have any clubs with me. Right, so that's my time at Port Mourner. Finished, it's the next leg of the journey and we've got what is probably about an hour's drive. So at the moment we are very much on the north side of Dublin and we're going to the south side and I'm on my way to Druid's Glen, which believe it or not, was another course I played on that very same trip 10 years ago. And again, major changes gone on to Druid's Glen over the last couple of years and again, I can't wait to see what they've managed to do there. But Port Mournock links was absolutely fantastic. Right, first thing to report about Druid's Glen is it was described to me as the Augusta of Europe and at this stage, just only four holes in, it's certainly living up to that kind of reputation. Big white sandy bunkers, big greens and plenty of water. That's the update I've got for you so far. Right, that's me done, Druid's Glen finished. I can honestly say I have never played golf in this kind of temperature in Ireland ever. I can't believe how warm it is, but back to the golf course. Enjoyable afternoon, Augusta of Europe, pretty apt. It's an immaculate condition and yet again, a absolute belter for day two in Ireland. Right, that's me finished at the Druid's Glen, a quick breakfast and now it is off to the Irish Open at the K Club. I'm looking for car park 2B. Okay, my pleasure. Bolchers sign? All right, we are on the right way. We're going to do a U-turn. Oh, okay. Which one after which car park is it? 2B. 2B, yeah. Yeah, great. It's all good, thank you. Thank you. Don't want to be number two on it. It is, yeah. Thank you. What I like is no one has checked the ticket at all. No, no. We're just taking your word for it. 2B. 2B. Couldn't you? Or maybe. Maybe not. Definitely. Nah, they're asking for the check at the pass now. I'm sure we can end that now, come. Yeah. I'm good. I just said no one's checked our ticket. We could have gone in for nothing here and there you go. Stopped at the last minute. Yeah, followed those cars in there. Thank you. So we just arrived at the hospitality of the Irish Open. And we've got, we're in a place called The Terrace, which I'll show you where I'm looking out to, but basically it's the overlooking of the 18th green. This is half beyond what I was expecting to come to. It looks incredible, so don't go anywhere. And I'll show you around my day. By some cars parked in, we made our walk into the K Club. And it's not too far from Dublin, actually, the K Club either. It's an incredible golf course. And this week they're hosting the Irish Open, the Horizon Irish Open. And then we've got a nice little hospitality ticket overlooking what is the 18th green. So it should be a really interesting day in the middle of my island trip. There's one on the day. That's not a Guinness, it's a Murphy's. I can report that the Murphy is absolutely delightful. And I promise there's some golf on the way very soon. This is game number four, he sees. Right, so the day at the K Club has finished and drive back to our hotel, which I'll show you at some point later on. But I popped out to the golf course that we played tomorrow to have a little bit of a look around. I've got a buggy and I'm about to go and see if I can collect some drone footage. It's seven o'clock in the evening, so not a lot of light left. But when I'm on a trip like this, I just can't get enough of anything. I just need to see as much as I can in the short space of time that I'm here. So it looks like I'll be eating late and then getting up early again. I couldn't help but get the drone up, but it's way too dull this evening. Unfortunately, again, just a little bit late and I've lost the light. So what you're seeing right now is a little bit of a teaser ready for tomorrow. But trust me, the forecast is ridiculously good for tomorrow morning. So hopefully I've got some real good footage. But I can't tell you how excited I am to play Powers Court Golf Club. I've not, I'll be honest with you, I haven't heard of the golf course before this trip. And seriously, there's two courses. We're playing the east course tomorrow morning. The landscape is just so, so nice. And I've just seen it, like I said this evening for half an hour, but you just know straight away. That hole we sort of flew down was 17. But just wait till you see 16 tomorrow morning. Oh my God. I'm like a kid in a sweet shop, I'll tell you. Here is another very early checkout. An early start, the hotel is super quiet because most sensible people are still in bed. Anyway, last night the light wasn't great. So we're off back to Powers Court and film a little bit of footage before we actually go and play the course later on this morning. I'm just hoping that that sun comes out and we get some nice footage of the place. Right, it's gonna be a long day this one. Right, so the truth is started very early, sun didn't come up as I would hope it is, as you can see now. Very much open in my eyes and the one hole. But I think I mentioned to you last night that I was really keen on getting was the 16th. And it looks absolutely stunning right now. I don't think there's a golf hole that I have stuck around and tried to photograph video as much as this little par 350 yards. Possibly the nicest par 3 I have certainly seen in the flesh. I'll play it in a few hours time. Right, that is early morning photography done. The sun is well and truly out now. I'm on the first tee in about 10 minutes time. So I've now got a camera woman that's gone out of bed as well. Right, I said I was excited about playing this golf course and I'm not disappointed. I said there were only six holes in, but oh my God, what a layout this is. Pete McAvoy design. Every t-shirt you stand on, you're sort of asking yourself a little bit of a question in terms of where you want to land the ball or try to at least there's big white sandy bunkers, lush fairways. It just looks superb. Undulation in the fairways. So much movement in the greens. It is so, so good. We've captured a fair bit of it, which hopefully you're enjoying now. I'm going to play my shot into this next, which I think actually is the seventh and I'll give you a bit of a catch up later on. Now, no major update since that seventh hole. Basically very much more of the same. It's been an incredible condition and greens are unreal in terms of both the quality of them and trying to read them is a job in itself. But all I've wanted to do all round is to get to the sixteenth. It's just 125 yards from where we're playing from. And it is quite simply the hole on this golf course in my opinion. I just hope I can get one on the green. Oh my word. I don't know whether my audio would have broke up facing that way. What I said was going the hole with the audio. It's so nice to it because what happens is you get onto this hole and what I was dreading was making a complete pig's ear of it. So it literally dropped right on top of the flag and we've got a bit of a downhill of a birdie I think. I'm more than happy to walk off with a three. I would have liked a birdie but the greens are so slippery and if you're the wrong side of the slope or in that case I was then you're fearful of just racing it way past the hole. 16th. What a golf hole. That's me doing probably one of the most enjoyable 18-olts of golf I've had for quite some time and every hole on this course was super, super interesting. I said already 16th is a highlight but 17 that follows it on again is an incredibly good golf hole as well. Unfortunately for us to film it it was pointing directly into the sun I'm afraid but super golf hole and even if you look at the green behind me that's just an indication of just these kind of swells and run-offs and just how clever the greens are designed just a super course all together and now that I'm going to get a quick shower we're going to visit a state-of-the-own that's at the back.
