Within a picturesque curve of coastline, 10 miles to the north of Dublin City and only a 15-minute drive from Dublin Airport, Portmarnock Golf Club sits majestically on a narrow tongue of shallow dune land. And as a measure of its enduring quality, it remains one of the most respected venues in world golf.

Paul turns the clock back as he takes on the 14th at Portmarnock and remembers playing with the likes of Phil Mickelson in the Walker Cup. It’s a stunning par 4 if you find the fairway, with the tee shot, its a short but testing iron to the green, with the Irish Sea in the background.
