Fore Play's Tralee trip is the golf travel content of the year

Every so often a golf travel video shows up and reminds you that the sport is, in fact, played in some absurdly beautiful places. The Fore Play crew just dropped Episode 1 of their Ireland Travels series, and the opening stop at Tralee Golf Club is doing exactly that. Riggs and Trent vs. Frankie and Francis in a 2v2 money match on a coastal links that looks engineered in a lab to humble you and your camera roll at the same time.

We’ve got poetry on the benches & breathtaking par 3’s… and we’re only 3 holes into the trip. Ireland might be the greatest place to golf on planet Earth. @ONE1Brands

The pitch from the crew has been pretty simple all week: just watch it. Frankie has been hammering the drone-shot angle on his own timeline, and honestly, the 16th at Tralee might do more recruiting for Ireland golf trips than any tourism board ever could. A flagstick perched over the ocean, bunkers cut into the edges, overcast Irish sky — it's the postcard hole you tell your buddies about for the next decade.

The 16th at Tralee… best par 3 in Ireland? 👀 Good looking hole, phenomenal looking fits @adidas

Then there's the actual golf, which is where it stops being a screensaver and starts being content. Trent grinding out pars on holes that look like they were designed to eat amateurs alive is one thing. Frankie cashing in on what the crew labeled the Luck of the Irish — a hole-out moment that sent everyone into the knees-on-the-green celebration — is the kind of clip that justifies hauling the whole production overseas in the first place.

Luck of the Irish? ☘️ @FrankieBorrelli

The timing isn't an accident either. Episode 1 lands the same week Barstool Golf is setting up shop at the U.S. Open Merchandise Pavilion, so the whole Fore Play universe is firing on all cylinders. But the Ireland trip is the centerpiece. Three holes into the trip the crew was already calling Ireland the greatest place to golf on the planet, and after watching the Tralee episode, it's tough to make a counter-argument.
