Next summer will be 20 years since I played Carne with my dad and uncle. My uncle, in his infinite wisdom, thought it would be a nice relaxing treat for my dad who had taken a liking to golf. At that time my dad was on the heart transplant list and was a 30 handicapper at best. I'll never forget the look of trepidation on his face standing on the first tee with the wind howling in on us from the Atlantic. For 18 holes he hacked it round Carne and took every opportunity to f*** and blind my uncle out of it. "How could you ever think this would be relaxing?". After finishing on 18 it had got to the stage where I was just hoping that I still had a lift home when out of nowhere my dad says..."Well if I can get through that today I can get through any transplant". He got called in for the transplant a few months later and got a good 18 years out of the new heart before passing away last year. Next summer is probably as good a time as any to go back.

Best episode of the Sauce ever? Drone work, music, commentary, all of it was stellar.

Here I am, 3 years after this was released, watching it for probably the 15th time and I still get emotional hearing Tom Coyne talk about Carne.

Tourist Sauce doing for us what Tom Coyne did for so many. Absolutely fitting.

My father is from Bellmullet, Co Mayo. A rough and rugged county. Known for the fighting men of the West. Beautiful, thank you for showing this area

Thank you Tom Coyne.

Carne is a must play in Ireland, its a beast of a course, run by the local community. Best par of my life on 17 in a downpour. Tom Coyne and John Garritty deserve great credit for shining a light on it.

Played it yesterday in 60kmph winds. An absolute honour and a privilege to be in such a magical place. Love this episode. Keep up the great work lads

Played Carne, Ross's Point and Enniscrone about 10 years back with my old man. We rolled into RCD on the way back to the ferry, I had no idea, he totally surprised me. Great to have that memory now he's no longer with us, beautiful place to play golf.

Best episode of the season. Music, visuals, commentary from Tom Coyne. Totally felt transported to the course with them.

This episode was like a meditation, I feel cleansed and spiritually uplifted. Well done!

As an “Inglishmun” hooked on your journeys and adventures, I think I now get why so. No matter the larks and scrapes you get up to, it’s the respect that you show everywhere you go. Whether it’s privilege manicured to within an inch of its life, or somewhere raw and honest crying out for people to make the pilgrimage, you make the effort to immerse yourselves and the output reflects that effort. I pretty much want to play everywhere you’ve been for that reason.

I've never searched for houses for sale in a foreign country until I watched this video. Carne looks absolutely amazing. I will play there some day, and I might live there as well.

So glad that Carne is getting the attention it deserves in such a beautiful video! Great job NLU! Sometimes you don't need comments and you just let the course do the talking. Takes you back to a true feeling of just being out and enjoying something truly marvellous

Fantastic video lads !! My parents were both from Mayo, my mother God bless her was from Aughoose, Pulathomas nearby. I promised my son that I would take him to see his grandparents roots and with him being a true golf nut too we will both be visiting Carne in September 2024. Can't come quick enough !!! ⛳

Carne is like walking through a landscape created by giants making drizzle castles. It’s as pure as pure gets. Well done boys. You made me want to go back more than ever. Thank you!

The drone work in this episode is a true masterpiece. Well done.

Great to see a group of genuine golf fans & friends enjoying a truly remarkable golf course. Another gem for the bucket list👏👏🍻

I play it 4-5 times a year and still get a buzz every time. You need to see it to believe it!

I agree with Ardglass, thats a hidden gem for sure, really beautiful and lovely scenery....

Just watched in St. Vincent's Hospital in Dublin. Lifted the soul. Most enjoyable golf I've watched in a long long time. Just marvelous. Thank you.

Best golf series on the planet!

My life ambition is to swing with the same tempo as Tom

Irish golf trip is now booked thanks to this season! Course looks incredible

Having seen each season of Tourist sauce multiple times now I have to say this episode stands out from the rest. It prompted me to purchase Tom Coyne’s book and now I’m in the midst of reading it and realizing this season is an extension of his book just adds another layer. DJ you have an incredible gift.

really don't want this series to end

I've damn near watched every NLU video and I can't remember enjoying any of them more. You guys captured everything I love about my Sunday morning game and put it in an unbelievable setting. Maybe I can get my Sunday crew to Carne. Thank you for the amazing content.

I proposed to my wife in the dip on the left of the 10th fairway. A cynic would say that was so I’ve got an excuse to go back.

I play here every year and thought I'd had all the goosebumps I was going to have... but this video brings them back! Carne remains my favourite golf course anywhere and the prospect of a composite course is captivating. As has been noted in another comment, the Kilmore nine was designed (and built) by Ally McIntosh, who developed earlier designs by Jim Engh. Their budget was just €200,000.

I played Carne in 2017. It's a beautiful course, and the people were very welcoming. They even let us play the abandoned 3rd 9 holes.

Thank for showcasing this truly amazing place. I hope everyone will venture there someday as it is one to remember and truly my favorite.

Best episode that you have of the Ireland trip so far! Great to see the local community golf courses getting a look in and not just the big name ones.

Brought a tear to my eye listening to the love for this place by all involved. Pilgrimage scheduled for 2023!

Best video yet this season and fantastic work all around. I played here in '12 and it got dusty watching this. Carne is the epitome of Irish golf

Stumbled upon tourist sauce a few weeks ago. Watching an episode each morning is the highlight of my day. You guys are living what many of us dream of, great work! If you ever need a higher handicap (16) for comic relief, I am your guy. Thanks again for the great series!

Love watching Soly run after every shot he hits like he's rushing to the nearest restroom with the runs

Soly's so used to the club twirls that he can't feel the flag spinning in his hands.

Oh man this is on my bucket list ⛳️

Love your passion for links golf, especially that statement “getting out of a competitive mindset into one of fun” after all that’s what this great game is supposed to be about.

Sooo good. Time to put the 'some day' Ireland golf trip plans into motion. Thanks for the Tuesday pick me up.

I wish my husband and I could play a round with you guys it would be so fun. My favorite show to watch!

Thank you for showing this hidden Gem. An addition to the golf bucket list. Cheers 👍🏌🏼🇦🇺🦘

Great series so far with Carne being my favorite so far I think. The backstory alone makes it grand!

I'm getting some great ideas for a future golf trip. Carne is a must play.

Great video-totally captured what a great and unique place Carne is. Was there in August and already want to go back and play that Kilmore Nine!

One of the prettiest courses I’ve seen in my life and I play Torrey Pines all the time.

Ive played Murvagh and Ballyliffin, also designed by mr Hackett and both those courses are among the most enjoyable Ive ever played. The second part of the first nine at Murvagh is just spectacular and the Glashedy Links is a tough test but just stunning all through...

First course on the whole of Tourist Sauce that I’ve actually played. Really cool to see and follow along with my memories of the place

Carne looks epic! Yet another great NLU video 👍👏👏👏

Stunning looking course and the landscapes are amazing. Fantastic episode and love hearing about how a little bit more gold tourism will go a long way to help the club and region out.

ABSOLUTELY GEM THIS SEASON !!!

When the lament started at 7:40 I started crying. "Sometimes such beauty is just too much for the soul to bear".....

Just got back from Ireland. Played all 3 nines at Carne during my 3 rounds there. As great as the Hackett course is, the Kilmore 9 tops it. Amazing place. FYI, they switched the 9s on the Hackett course since this was filmed. So, for example, the 17th on the Hackett that Tom Coyne mentioned is now the 8th. Spoke to Gerry and Fiona and mentioned this video. Gerry said that the guys showed up early in the morning and were very professional. There is a reason why this series is so good and they make it look so casual. Oh, and my buddy aced the Kilmore 10th (18:55 on the video) from the white tees with a strong wind at our backs.

The boys got it right on this one and I couldn't agree more - was also my favorite course on Ireland - played Carne in Oct and it was stunning, spectacular, magnificent... cannot shower it with enough superlatives. I missed the clubhouse experience though as it was shutdown for the season! Can't wait to go back!!

Honestly you could have shown 27 minutes of just drone footage and backing music and I would have been just as hooked. Amazing visuals.

We went last may, and now it is on for a yearly visit. Absolutely fantastic.

Played Carne in 2001. Perhaps the most challenging and gratifying rounds I've ever played. Certainly the most memorable! Great course.

Tremendous footage guys - I never saw the course showcased any better. I'm delighted you enjoyed your trip to my neck of the woods. Made me proud when I watched it and brought back many memories of hacking it around there!.

Great episode. This season has been a delight.

DJ “you can make a lot of tens” Pearl Jam reference. Underrated.

Ok I’m going!

Incredible looking, really appreciated the credits for *NOT* Cromwell 🤣🤣🤣 I’m adding this to next summers hit list

Can't wait to play there in a few years. Love this season of TS.

“....it would be Pearl Jam.” Resonates with me. Congratulations on getting to have that experience.

This is as good as golf video could ever get. Thank you.

"I had 4 Guinesses at Lunch" has now entered the pantheon on golf excuses, joining "I haven't played in forever" and the infamous phantom back injury.

Absolute best episode of the series! Editing is on point and even tugged at the heart strings a bit! I'm so glad Tom was able to finish his book too! I'll hang up and wait for the re-print of ACI.

Thanks to this video I made the trip to Carne this week ago, it is everything this video makes it out to be and MORE. Thank you NLU

Absolutely loved this Carne episode, Seeing so much of this course, hearing the guys responding to the experience, the story of Carne from Tom Coyne, Just fantastic. Thanks guys.

Stunning.

Great job guys! I have probably played more than 25 rounds at Carne and try to get back every couple of years. It is truly a special place and a must play- several rounds- to truly appreciate. Kilmore 9 is coming along nicely.

Absolutely beautiful music and editing, boys. Thank you!

Carne is like the DMX of Irish golf. It's gonna make me lose my mind. Up in here. Up in here.

Great ‘Tour Sauce’ episode on Carne Belmullet. With three buddies I visited Carne in September 2019 and had the same warm welcome and friendly reception. After our round, Gerry showed us his scheme for re-routing and incorporating the new Killmore 9 holes into a 'truly spectacular championship golf course'. Gerry offered, actually insisted we go out and play the new Killmore 9. It was WILD!! Can’t wait to get back to Belmullet and play Carne again, especially once combined. It is on top of my list just behind Cruit Island. Looking forward to the next few weeks as we also played Enniscrone and Rosses Point. On a side note, to a person, we three do not believe Tom Coyne walked to Carne. Way too long, way too far. Hell, it was a long drive. We ask for proof, please

Probably my favourite episode yet.

You boys genuinely inspire me to go out and play whilst watching this series!

I've played most of the great links courses in Ireland and Scotland (lucky me). This isn't the easiest place to get to, or even the best conditioned course in the county. It's the most magical golf course I've ever played. Raw. It feels like the end of the world.

Great to see small shops supporting each other.

Great video, I stayed in Belmullet for my son’s wedding, all the way from Florida, played the course, so incredible!

Stunning. Very well done fellas 👏

A lot of us Carne believers enjoyed the mention of Eamon supervising the Kilmore 9, but regret omitting Ally McIntosh's contribution to thr design layout. The whole of Carne is a treasure to be found by intrepid golfers who may not have actually seen it all, yet.

Just love you guys make me want to go back to Ireland right now🏌👍

This place looks like heaven. Great video

This video & the opinions of Tom Coyne & John Garrity have inspired me to become an Overseas Life Member as of this week despite having never played the course & I cant wait to visit in 2022

Video and the music is just top notch 👏 👏

I’m convinced Eddie Hackett is the Irish Paul Bunyan. Paper under his arm and shovel in hand. He willed this mighty course into being.

Hi fellas - a big fan from across the pond, I love what you do, and how you do it. Just purchased some merch from Carne's online store to support the club. Amazing content and keep safe guys. Regards Johnny Balata

My Guinness consumption has increased exponentially since this series started #nofreeads And I never wanted to go to Ireland more. Job well done boys! Looking forward to the finale!

Coyne is goat material. All of his books are great.

Simply perfect 👌🏻

Sorry to be pedantic, but it's the Mullet Peninsula. Belmullet means the Mouth of the Mullet (Peninsula) in its Irish form and is my home town at the entrance to the peninsula! Can't wait to see the video though.

3 weeks from now I will play it again after 2 years. 😍

Well done boys. You did it justice. You have just launched the next wave of promotion for Carne (show me the money Jerry!). It was special to see Tom playing new holes in Ireland. Soly is not winning caddie material #flagspinner I wonder how long he would’ve stayed there if he wasn’t told. Well done all.

Wow! Never pictured Soly as a straight arm runner. That’s wild man!

One of the greatest intros to a series. That slow-mo shot of Neil dancing is fucking legendary.

DJ with the flip had me rolling

Played the Kilmore 9 today, unbelievable!! Most fun I've had on a Golf Course

Great episode! Best one yet for sure.

I just realized it on this episode... This channel is the Top Gear of golf😅
