Ballet Bunion

The Old Course at Ballybunion has a reputation as one of the finest golf courses in the world - par 71 and measures 6,598 Yards.

Tom Watson and Chief reckon it’s "a true test of golf" and Watson rates the 11th as one of the toughest holes in the world (see Scnapp pic – no concerns about a raping hook on this one).


The good Doc and I decided to take on the monster in December of 1998 and we chewed it up and spat it out. “Totally over-rated” we decided as we walked off both deep in the red…


…well not quite. The hooks were aplenty and a few actions shots attached disguise our inability to deal with the elements. Doc can be seen looking for his ball on 11 which ended up near the cliffs of Mohr. I had to tell him that I didn’t think the pro-shop would have a ball retriever long enough to rescue his pill.

He took it out on the young ladies in bedroom 8. Time has altered the photo unfortunately. Doc assures me there were ladies present in the original.

Later on during my time in the UK (note that Republic of Ireland is not in UK), I met another Doctor in the little town of Gloucester. He was an amazing pool player although he seemed to grapple with the eternal question relating to the pink and the brown.

Here is a photo of him shortly after he found out that the girl he is chatting up in the background is officially half his age. Yes, 15.


Adios
