Golf Ardglass Golf Club

Today we played an extremely interesting golf course . Ardglass is an hour south of Belfast along the eastern shores of the Irish Sea.

The clubhouse is the oldest clubhouse in the world built in 1405. It was a castle previous. Some of the doors in the clubhouse are still the old archways and they are less than 6 feet tall.

A number of the holes are on cliffs and the ocean as the course is right on a peninsula. Many of the tee shots involved long carry’s over water or gorges. On top of that we had a 30-40 km wind all day making it a very difficult golf course .

On the 13 th hole there were 2 foxes. One was quite near me and when I went into my golf bag to get my phone to take a picture, he came right up to me with “ feed me” eyes. I had nothing to give him. I hit my shot taking a good divot and he ran and got the divot and was tossing it in the air like a bean bag. Celeste and I played in different groups and Celeste hit her ball in the thick rough and when she found her ball she took off her golf glove to mark the location of the ball and went to get her bag. The fox ran and grabbed her glove and took off with it into the bush .
