The sister course to the Old Course at Ballybunion, the Cashen Course, has introduced two new greens.  The Trent Jones Cashen Course is now open for play with newly designed 2nd and 15th greens.  The course has also had work carried out on the 1st and 16th tee boxes.

If you are travelling to the South West of Ireland this year, take a trip to Ballybunion and experience both of their fantastic courses.

Road Hole Restaurant’s New Dining Concept

PerryGolf Staff

In my opinion, the view from the Road Hole Restaurant in the Old Course Hotel, St Andrews is as good as it gets.  The floor-to-ceiling windows allow diners to look out over the 17th and 18th holes of the Old Course – and on a summer’s night (when the sun is shining) it really is hard to beat.  The 3 AA Rosette Awarded Restaurant’s menu has recently gone through extensive changes and they are now focused on the very best seasonal Scottish produce.  I’d strongly recommend that guests at the hotel sample the delights at least once during their stay – make sure to request a window table!

Jaime Ortiz-Patiño owns one of the most famous collections of golf memorabilia in the world…and he’s set to sell it.  Nobody knows the reason for the sale, but we do know that his collection is ready to be sold at auction in London on the 30th of May this year.  Many of the items which will be for sale will be exhibited in Dubai, Hong Kong, and New York over the coming months to stir up some interest.  The collection is made up of golf balls, clubs, programs and official documents, and also some outstanding art-work.
