This blog will take you around Gowran Park Golf Club in Co. Kilkenny, Ireland in as few shots as possible. A lofty ambition considering how many times I play three off the tee. That aside I have spent so much time in the cabbage that I feel I am in the best place possible to ensure that you don't have to! Please feel free to comment.

Coming up to the turn. The 8th and 9th
Now despite the fact that I have actually eagled this hole from the 12th fairway it isn't as simple as it seems. Fairway rolls left to right and the wind seems to blow the same way so really just put your drive on the short stuff leftish if anything. Now from here the length of your drive dictates your next shot. If you want to go for the green make sure you can reach it without over pushing yourself on the shot, the lake runs along the right side of the green and a babbling brook (nice touch) lies along the front. Big green and always a chance of a bird. Following on from my opening comment the eagle was a fluke.
This photo is only of the back of the 9th tee box (for the benefit of the webmaster). Anyway straight forward par three with just a load of water to contend with if you're greedy. Its often windy in da face so you might need a bit more club than you think. Remember "into the breeze swing with ease". Take a par and move on.
