The castle in the background is where Lord Mountbatten used to stay for his summer holidays (plus kids). And just down the coast in Mullachmore is where he would have moored his boat.
Hay golf mates just looking back over hidden gems as I’m recovering in hospital after brain operation, love all hidden jems especially Ireland 🍀🍀 keep them coming maybe south of Ireland next time, Dublin wicklow, Wexford and Waterford area would be nice to try, and any1 who’s leaving negative feed back nobody’s asking you to watch, scroll on, love the golf mates family🍀⛳⛳😂😂👍
Am I enjoying the Ireland tour with my new golfmates? Hell yes I'm enjoying every single second. Luv Mr. B's purple shorts; does he own another pair, bloody hell dude! I am so very very jelly of the lot of ya!!! GOD Bless!
Don't know how you guys can suffer your way around those fabulous courses. Great viewing with the obvious comradery (love the comments from behind the camera too :)). Keep it coming 👍
You guys really make my lunch hour a joy. I get to see all these great courses, listen to the mates have great fun... OFTEN at each other's expense, and not think about the craziness of the day.... Thank you so much. Shot a personal best, 78 on a 72, Saturday at Stonebrooke in MN. There your carts are put on a pontoon to the fairway after your tee shot across a lake. Come visit sometime... there are a lot of summer gems here.
The drainage on that hole below the hotel is amazing, we were staying in a room overlooking it and there was torrential rain in the morning, the green was literally under water. Went out to play later in the day and the whole course, including bunkers was perfect.
Great video and series so far lads, the main thing is you are all having great craic and enjoying yourselves which is what golf is all about, anything other than that such as playing well or birdies etc is all a bonus, keep up the good work.
These hidden gems are FANTASTIC. I live in Canada, my wife and I played Cullen (about an hour and a half north of Inverness) a couple weeks ago. What a GREAT quirky course. We thoroughly enjoyed the day. Thank you Liam.
Love these hidden gems. You boys always make me laugh. Mr. Barlow is so damn hilarious and I look forward to his play. Keep up the economic work. Kudos to Roy for playing so well and let’s not forget the fabulous camera work. Cheers
Never fail to deliver. Agree with you about the course bearing it's teeth with a wind up, but absolutrly stunning layout. Stu, moving day, played so well. Can't wait for next week. Thank you.
I love how 17:30 and 17:50 Roy executes a magnificent approach shot that even Tiger Woods would be happy about. Then exactly between 17:38 - 17:42 you can hear the camera man grown out, "Oh No." Soooo feckin funny.
Had it all. Stu on fire, dad dancing..and a touch of the old "well I'm with my mates" which is on a par with "well it's a lovely day and I've had a nice walk" Class stuff as usual Liam!
You guys made a difficult course look easy, well Roy did. There is something about the Irish air that lifts your spirits, as does your right hand with a Brandy in it. These hidden gems are important to all golfers, it opens their eyes to what else to choose when on a jolly with their Golf Mates.
Great video again golfmates it's great to come home from work sit down after tea and watch your antics ps well played Stu aka Roy 3 birdies and could've been more your back in the game can't wait for next week 👍😀
Played this course lots as a young lad, great memories, fantastic camerawork lads, what a setting on the wild Atlantic - bring your surf boards next time
Christy O'Connor senior was pro there for ten years, and Christy O'Connor JUNIOR hit that two iron to the heart of the eightenth green in the 1989 Ryder Cup against Fred Couples to win a magnificent point for Europe, not that I'm happy for Europe's victory in the 2023 Ryder Cup, oh no........magnificent video as always, and Roy.......superb. 16.5-11.5. Same as 1985 at The Belfry.
@@GolfMates must tell you this story. In 1987 I was playing with some friends at my home course in Thetford, Norfolk and I birdied the 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th and 14th and had to sit down before teeing off on the 15th. My handicap was 20 at the time.......my putter was hotter than a crucible!
Tremendous series!!! Looking forward to seeing the rest of your trip Not sure how far south you are traveling on this trip, but a hidden gem that I can recommend for another series would be Clonakilty Golf Club which is part of the Lisslean estate.
The last time I did a golf round as good as Stu’s it was all going so well until I misjudged the position of the rotating sail on the Windmill which then blocked the ball going through the concrete tunnel of the Lighthouse and then the round fell apart! Seriously Stu’s a star and a real gentleman . Top play!
Starting hole (6th) used to be a really tough par 4 from way back in the corner, OOB all the way up the left. 13th (par 3 - 234 yds from back sticks), had a HIO there way back in 1991. Topped a 4 wood ;-)
Loving the videos gents, great stuff. I'd officially love to invite you over to play Ashbourne Golf Club in Meath whenever you would like !! Enjoy your few days in Ireland
Very good links course offering many challenges, thought the golf was good with some excellent shots considering the conditions and lack of sunshine, great banter as usual.
Liam super stuff mate... Rathcore is absolutely unbelievable as is moyvalley 4 miles up the road... Both in meath i believe.... Rathcore is unbelievable for 25 euro a round, proper hidden gem!!!
The owner of the hotel on the course is a gentleman. Brian McEneff. He managed the Donegal GAA team when they won the all Ireland in 1992. Great video. Can't believe you got decent weather.. it usually rains in that neck of the woods.....!!
Welcome to Gods county, 😊 great to see Stuart playing well, -2 around there is good golf, its getting tight at the top now Liam, you'll have to make some more birdies to hold on to that lead. You must have had the bottle of brandy in you for those dance moves 😂
The castle in the background is where Lord Mountbatten used to stay for his summer holidays (plus kids). And just down the coast in Mullachmore is where he would have moored his boat.

Donegal ! Arguably the coolest County in Ireland. The only County that drops my shoulders to relax, and escape in. 👍
Another lovely course and series.
Glad to see Stu playing so well, love the video Golf Mates
Dancing made the video for me 😂 great round Stu, you were on 🔥!!

The banter.. LMFAO... Beautiful course.. What a find Liam. Just to remind everyone.. Mr Barlow doesn`t make the index`s🤣
That’s right he dont
I love how 17:30 and 17:50 Roy executes a magnificent approach shot that even Tiger Woods would be happy about. Then exactly between 17:38 - 17:42 you can hear the camera man grown out, "Oh No." Soooo feckin funny.

Stu! Bringing the HEAT! Sure showed your stuff that round.
Really enjoying this series Liam!

Great to see the Lads in Ireland.. I love the pronunciation of some of the place names 😂😂😂
Another lovely course. Stu played some fantastic golf.
I want to know why did the boys play off the BLUE TEES on the second hole, but off the YELLOW TEES on the rest of the 5 holes? RDK au
Another wonderful video. Loving this series Liam. You did a fantastic job. Thanks for all your hard work
Thank you

Bundoran was my home course growing up.. the front nine used to be so much more difficult. A beautiful Vardon design.
Hidden gems is just absolutely class.
Thank you

Not sure how far south you are traveling on this trip, but a hidden gem that I can recommend for another series would be Clonakilty Golf Club which is part of the Lisslean estate.
I look it up
Best putting performance ever seen on the channel. A brandy barrel of birdies, well done “Roy”
Boom 💥
Delighted to see u's playing Donegal and excited to see the next one as it's absolutely stunning, my father was a former Captain there ❤️👌
Boom

Absolutely doing us Irish proud Liam! But you fouled poor Mr Barlow with that bed!
Thank you
Beautiful course but I wouldn't fancy my chances there if the wind got up!!
Stuart played beautifully on this one. Showed us all why he plays off 3.
Lovely to see the lad take his two Uncles for a day out of golf!
What a joy to watch Stu on top form. He was knocking them in from everywhere!

What a awesome course, Stu is on fire, bad day for Barlow, Liam still playing steady

Next time you go back to Ireland, try Nairn & Portnoo in west Donegal & Portsalon in north Donegal. Worth it for the scenery alone.
None hidden gems pal. We all know about them
Love the golf and the courses, please keep this going.
Can't wait for next Monday. Scores are getting close hard on e to call this trip.
It’s a beautiful place
