The First Hole In Co. Meath Golf Club

The First tee box in Co. Meath Golf Club is a raised square patch of shortly cut grass with two cylindrical pieces of wood set 10 foot apart. The grass in between the two pieces of wood has plenty of pitch marks that are repaired with sand. These pitch marks are scatterred all over the tee box giving a dolmation effect, a rich gold against a lively green. There are loads of colourful bushes and plants surrounding the box. These flowers make the tee box extremely attractive on the eye. There is a bench, bin and ball cleaner all as one unit. The bench is constructed out of wood causing it blend into its natural wooden background.

Standing from the tee box, looking down the finely cut fairway, through the entrance to the green is an incredible sight. The grass on the fairway(Short cut grass in the middle) is a pale green as opposed to the grass in the ruff, which is an extremely vibrant green. Early in the morning it is exceptionally beautiful sight to look from the tee box down to the green because of the morning due. There are countless amounts of bushes and trees all along each side of the fairway. There is a cross wind from right to left across the fairway which carries the smell of freshly cut grass. There is a small lake/ pond, which is located on the left handside of the fairway. It is about 30m² and has many beautiful eye-catching features. For example; It has a water fountain in the middle and 6 plastic ducks floating around it. The ducks and fountain add to the scenery of the Fairway.

Once you’ve walked to the end of the fairway you come to an incredible green. This green has two enormous sand bunkers, one on each side. The sand is exeptionally fine and has a very rich golden colour, the sand comes from a St. Margarets Golf Club in Dublin. The grass on the green has a very pale green colour because it is precisely and thinly cut. The area around the green however, is a slightly darker green, this area is known as the fringe of the green. The grass here is somewhat longer, but still keeps the spongy property. The flag is in the center of the green and is slowly fluttering in the wind. It has the number “1” perfectly stitched into it with an extremely pulsating white against a vibrant red background.
