Home to two fantastic links golf courses Ballybunion is a world-renowned golf links. Known to many thanks to a visit in 1998 by Former US President Bill Clinton (he would later return in 2001 for another visit). The opening tee shot of the Old Course is one of the more daunting in all of golf but probably not for the reasons you would expect. The elevated tee box sits just off the balcony of the clubhouse which makes it intimidating enough, but more off-putting than that you'll find the graveyard that is within striking distance of even the most modest of hitters to be the real knee-knocker when it comes to getting your first tee shot away. I can tell you from personal experience the first tee shot on the Old Course in Ballybunion is as nervous as I've felt anywhere. The fact that there were visitors to said graveyard at the time only added to my nervousness. Needless to say, I duff-snapped one way left and went on to make a dogged bogey.
