Favourite Hole
Holes 12 and 13 are two short par fours , with both of them set to make you look a fool … but the joke ’ s on Enniscrone , because you just won ’ t care .
Editor ’ s Tip
Trust your instincts on the blind holes and use bumpand-run where possible . This is not a course where you want to go over the green .
