18 Shades of Green
There seems to be a lot of polarisation over golf. So many people play it and enjoy it but there are also a lot of people who think it a waste of space.
I am biased here. I do like my round of golf and would argue that whatever else, golf courses tend to preserve a plot of nature – land, plants, scenery and wildlife – that otherwise might be destroyed in another commercial exercise.

This post is about Tulfarris Golf Club, one of the many fine courses in Ireland, and indeed Wicklow, and one of the prettiest.
…………………….Tulfarris is a challenging course but its real charm lies in its trees and views which help even the worst rounds and encourage wildlife. Deer, Foxes, Buzzards, Ravens, Little Grebes, Sedge Warblers, Mute and Whooper Swans as well as many other species can be found here.
At the end of the day, though, it is the magnificent Oak and Beech trees that really show Tulfarris off.
