I remember in 2019 visiting the UK and with my brother as a guide (he works there) we visited these types of pubs and towns. It is some of my fondest memories and I am really jealous that you have them so close to you! I would spend my days touring and scouting places like this. There is just something about those hearty places, a good pint, and a plate of delicious food that makes me happy to be alive in this weird era! Enjoy it! It looks like a stunning place.

Sounds like a great trip that, next time ye should try and get over to Ireland and do a little tour around here. I'd say it'd be right up your street.

I am going to try and watch the open next year at St. Andrews, so maybe next year I'll be over there and that side of the pond! There is so much to explore and so little time. Are you going to try and watch the open?

Good stuff 👍

The Open is a brilliant event to attend, I was there for the Sunday in 2019 when Shane Lowry won. What an experience it was! I don't think I'll make it over to St. Andrews tbh

What an experience! I would have loved to be at the open when Ernie Els won, I think 2021.

I can only imagine! I have only walked with my local pros on the Sunshine tour, and I marshaled at the SA Open in 2011 I think, but it is totally different this side of the pond. The number of people that go and watch the local tournaments is so few. And the courses here are not designed really to cater to the needs of spectators. But what we do is we check the schedules and play the local courses a week or two prior to these events, the courses are at their best then.

That's sounds cool as well, I'd love to marshall a big event. Great thinking on playing the courses a few weeks prior to the events and thud getting them in peak condition 👍

We do not have many golf courses in our area, so when the tours play on the courses here, we reap the chances! Stay safe, my friend.
