Reporting on The Open in 1951 at Portrush, renowned golf correspondent Bernard Darwin wrote: “Mr. H.S. Colt… has built himself a monument more enduring than brass.”
Lovely piece again Shane. Is there a better set of greens in Ireland? 5, 6, 10, 14 and 15 are magnificent. Such a shame that the green on hole 2 was moved in order to lengthen the hole.
Hi Cathal, the remaining Colt greens are exceptional, push ups created by a master (the remainder not too shabby either tbf). It’s a very special place that I always look forward to visiting. Hoping to get up there in May with a mate from Royal ADL (AT from the Ozzie series) who has yet to experience the delights of the north coast.
