Jim Nelson and Tom McCandlish take to the batting cages before teeing off.

First tee. Hole locations today in position G. Links Portmarnock has an ingenious method of identifying hole locations for those good enough to need it.

Hotel at the Links is the former home of the Jamison family, owners of the Jamison Distillery. Well-manicured grounds are reminiscent of a Florida resort.

Links starter Michael is a big help. Here he gives John Hyslop some idea of what to do on first hole while John's caddie looks on.

Keith Dull hits off on the first.

View across 15th hole to putting green from dunes overlooking the Atlantic.

Tom McCandlish gets the round going on first tee while Jim Nelson watches.

Teeta Donlan gets some course advice from Michael.

Teeta's alignment is perfect. The result was not so good!
