Four shots to groove with your fairway wood

He’s been down before, of course. In the early 2000s, Henrik Stenson was having trouble hitting courses, never mind fairways, from the tee. At the end of 2002, for example, the Swede was ranked the 336th best golfer in the world, having plummeted 254 places over the preceding 12 months. Remarkably, only three years after that nadir, Stenson was up to 32nd, en route to a more than decade-long period of ascendency during which he established himself as one of the best players on the planet. He still wasn’t hitting many drivers, but…

After a thoroughly enjoyable stint in Wicklow, I returned to the sunny southeast, specifically Faithlegg Hotel and Golf Club in Waterford. I had heard great things about the golf course which won the Golfers Guide to Ireland Parkland award for Munster 2020 so I thought to myself, why not take a spin down the M9 and check it out. The hotel is located just down the road from the Waterford Harbour and is steeped in history with many of the rooms portraying a story about the estate upon which it stands. My timekeeping left a lot to be desired as…
