![]() I'm usually not particularly careful to read Local Rules on course scorecards unless I land on a path or am in doubt about a potential immovable obstruction etc. To be kind, maybe they were just enjoying the course rather than thinking about those behind them, since in my view, the Carrickstone is by far the better of the 2 courses at Dullatur. It turned out that there was no-one in front of them so the rest of the round was pretty quick. ![]() It was only after I'd birdied the 466 yard Par 5 8th hole with a single putt from under 3 feet (as watched by the 4 ball from the next tee) that the guys decided to let me play through. I'd already caught up with the 4 ball in front by then and for the next few holes it looked at though I'd become the invisible single player. The 2nd is played blind down a very steep hill and is a meaty 470 Yard Par 4. Just hit the ball very straight and avoid hitting anyone on the 8th tee, right behind the green. The 1st on the Carrickstone is a claustrophobic 151 Yard Par 3, as shown here. I'd played pretty well on the Antonine and had high hopes for the afternoon. I'd nipped on before a large group of 3 and 4 balls, but the course seemed relatively quiet in front of me, apart from a 4 ball of visitors. Like the Antonine, the Carrickstone is a hilly parkland course and at 6001 Yards, Par 70, is slightly longer. ![]() I played here on 21 September 2012 immediately after my round over the Antonine Course.
