Starting to research a 2024 overseas trip. After some ideas and critique of my early thoughts. Hoping Marcel will pop by. If I recall from our RA round in 2018 he has def played Berwick and Dornoch. Will be non-golfing wife and I doing ~12 days each in Ireland and Scotland. I have successfully floated the idea of two bucket list courses in both countries. Originally the Old Course was on the list, but the more I look into it the more I think I will pop in for a look but not waste my wifey good will on 3-4 days hoping for a non-guaranteed slot. I am thinking I can pre-book North Berwick and Royal Dornoch and be done with it. For Ireland I am thinking Royal Portrush and Lahinch. I was sold on Lahinch after watching the NLU Tour Sauce vid. Anything better in Ireland or easier to manage? I had one round in Ireland in 1995 and played Mt Juliet of all places 🤣 Very unlinksy.Am I mad for not trying at the Old? All the talk of “it takes 10 rounds to get it”, has me worried about being underwhelmed. I am thinking pop in Sunday/Monday and walk it, look around, maybe play the Himilayas and not risk disappointment, while playing the two other classics. Am I an idiot?EDIT - I swear I had paragraphs! Ballybunion for Portrush is also a consideration
