In contrast, the folks at National Club Golfer have released a list with a unique twist. If you happen to happen to rank fun over difficulty when evaluating a course, this is one list that’s definitely worth perusing. |
Double Eagle or Albatross: The Great Debate |
Double Eagle or Albatross? The debate over which term is correct has seemingly carried on since the first deuce on a par-5 was ever recorded. To help set the record straight, Bunkered makes a well-presented case for one side of the argument. |
Perfect Pairing: Sweet Treats in Ireland |
When the post-round sweet tooth strikes in Ireland, look for Murphy’s Ice Cream. With four locations in Dingle, Dublin, Killarney, and Galway, Murphy’s serves “Ice cream that knows where it’s coming from” near many of the historic links of the Emerald Isle. The H&B Concierge recommends the Sticky Toffee Pudding sundae. |
