And do you get many visitors from overseas? Because most people who come to Ireland, let's face it, are looking for the big Lynx courses, aren't they?

They are, yes, and we appreciate that.

We get a fair amount of international visitors.

And in the resort as a whole, we get a massive amount of North American guests who stay in our resort, base themselves here while playing the North Coast Lynx courses, County Down.

We have groups who come and base themselves here and fly all over Ireland in helicopters to enjoy everything that Ireland has to offer.

So we don't get, not all of them play here.

As you say, they come here to play parkland or Lynx golf.

So tell us about the plans here, first of all.

Can you chat through a little bit of the bigger project work? Because the course looks great.

yeah so i guess the big project big period of projects was sort of after we hosted the irish open in september 2020 we embarked on a three-year course development program which you guys would have seen at this sort of end when we were hosting the isps handle when when you guys were up that time when michael had the dodgy handicap so we did a massive amount of work there you know the water feature left of 18 new bunkers around the golf course new tee boxes around the golf course so That was a big investment, big programme of works and it's all really settled in well, so we're delighted with all that.

This winter we had a big programme of works around the golf course and the woodland management of the course, which has really opened up so much of the golf course in so many different areas, so we're delighted with how that's looking.

We're just tidying up, it was a harsh winter, very wet, so it did delay us at times getting the equipment in and out and machinery.

but really really happy with how that's looking it completely opens the golf course up as i said you know its benefits from an agronomy perspective will be very positive too but just i think you know from personal experience playing like hole 18 it's just trees left trees right it kind of straight up if you didn't hit it straight up the middle carved it right find the ball hope to find it it just sometimes you hit it you had a bad shot yes you should be punished but you maybe lost the ball slow play up and We wanted to really make things a bit more playable, more enjoyable.

It will obviously help with pace of play, with member competitions on a Saturday.

So all in all, I think aesthetically, it looks fantastic.

Obviously, work is still kind of being finished and tidied up at the moment, but it's still a long enough way to September, but I imagine the tour have been on to you plenty.
