Nish’s Top 3 Golf Courses of 2025

Nish: 0:00

Every story has an ending. Does our quest to play the top 100 course in 10 years have a good ending? I’m Nish, I’m Chris, and we’re here to guide you through this golfing journey. This is the Top 100 in 10 Golf Podcast. It felt like that area and that bit of land where they’ve made that golf course that was designed, it was put here on earth to be a golf course. Even Jim would enjoy it there. Yeah, one of the most important rounds that we’ve played. Like it’s another thing, it will just live in my memory forevermore. Episode 53. Nish’s top three courses of 2025. And I’m loving talking referring to myself in the third person there. It’s great. Now we talked about it in the last episode, but it’s amazing to think that we’ve played 15 of the finest that the UK has to offer. And it really has been a wild, wild ride. I wouldn’t have it any other way. And today I’m going to reveal my top three golf courses. But before we carry on, I’m going to make my normal request for you to tap the follow or subscribe button. Just help us get a bit of that clout here that we were talking about earlier. Uh, and you know, help us reach all of our subscriber targets that we can that can just help us grow the podcast and grow the production and grow the content that we can get for you. And it all just takes a microsecond of your time. Now back to the episode. I’m gonna hand over the reins to Chris now. Oh shit. Turned to host it’s my turn to answer some questions. Um I’m on easy street, mate.

Chris: 1:28

Actually, because obviously I I’ve we’ve already done my top three. Yeah, yeah. And obviously, they are the top three, so there’s not really much point in you going through your top three. It’s it’s fairly inconsequential for me to talk about here, isn’t it? It’s a bit of a waste of time. But so maybe we could do instead of doing that, you could do your top three service stations of the year, as we as we mentioned then earlier.

Nish: 1:46

There is there’s only one that wins, and we stopped there every time we’ve been up to Scotland. Uh, what was it called now? I’ve erased the name from Oh, it’s a long name, wasn’t it? It’s a really long name, but we stopped there every time, and every time we stopped there, I’ve gone, I really don’t like this place. Perfect, it’s the equidistance of like halfway up to Scotland.

Chris: 2:02

Help you charge the car up.

Nish: 2:04

Yeah, it’s great. Yeah, yeah, we’ve stopped at some pretty ropey places, haven’t we? We’ve stayed at a few couple of roadside premiere ins as well that have been choice. Let’s put it that way.

Chris: 2:15

But yeah, sorry, Chris.

Nish: 2:16

What would you like to know?

Chris: 2:18

So, yeah, I yeah, let’s move on from service stations. So go on then, Nish. I mean, I kind of talked a little bit around my courses that just missed my top three. So I’ll I’ll open that door for you if you want to if you want to have that discussion, or if you want to go straight in with your number three, then I’ll I’ll take that part. I probably didn’t have that as a there.

Nish: 2:36

I mean, there are a few in contention, and I probably I haven’t made that list as such, so don’t think I’ve kind of got that. I think my third place course when I looked at it, I think it’s very similar to you actually. The top two wrote themselves for me. Yeah. And then I got to three, and I was like, I could almost pick six golf courses here. It’s hard, isn’t it? It’s definitely the hardest. Yeah, I’ll I’ll I’ll I’ll maybe give some names that kind of came in. Okay, let’s do it. I’ll give some names that came into contention and I’ll probably do it in chronological order. So Queens at Glen Eagles. That’s not in your top three. It’s not in my top three. I would rather that was gonna be nailed on your top three. Yeah, it was it was a fabulous golf course. Yeah, yeah. I I’ve liked some of the short ones that we’ve played, you know. You liked all the short ones, I think. Yeah, because I think what it’s giving you is a really short yeah, it’s giving it gives you a chance to score. But I think what the short courses haven’t got well, it’s the most obvious thing in the world to say, they just haven’t got that brute length to rely on to make it difficult. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. There’s a lot of interesting characters you’ve got to build into it to make it where people have got to like hit a shot or or or whatever. And I’ve I’ve found all of the short ones are visually amazing to look at. Yeah, so Queens was was right up there for consideration.

Chris: 3:56

Genuinely thought that was gonna be attending for number one. I thought that was gonna be above Trump.

Nish: 4:00

Well it was my favourite for ages, wasn’t it?

Chris: 4:02

But yeah. Um interesting. Okay, right. That’s a shock already. That is a shock, yeah. That’s a genuine shock to me. Interesting, isn’t it? I’d I’d already I’ll tell you what, before you reveal yours, I’ll reveal what I thought your top three were gonna be.

Nish: 4:14

Chris’s idea of Nish’s top three, yeah.

Chris: 4:16

Yeah, so I thought your top three. I I thought that probably Trump was gonna be number one, yeah. Same as me, because I think we both just came away from there going, that was unbelievable. Uh, I think then Queens would have been been your second one. Yeah, Queens at second. I thought Queens would have been your second, and then I thought you were gonna put Cruden Bay in there at three to piss me off. I was very tempted with that, or possibly if you weren’t thinking about that, you’d maybe put Hankley Common in there or Dumbarnie. Interesting.

Nish: 4:44

Yeah, well, you’ll find out. Okay, let’s go for it. So Queens obviously gets a very, very special mention for me. I, as we discussed on the episode, I really liked Cruden Bay. Yeah, uh again, short course, yeah, but for me, that was the first time as I was playing golf, that kind of mist and moodiness and whatever, and just was that just my day? It was just this cloud over you, Chris. And it was like it just felt to me like this is like golf from a bygone era, like how it was supposed to be played 120 years ago, and how you know all these amazing characters that have played golf before us, you know, that’s how they would have experienced it. I got a little bit of that at Gullane, Gullane, I have to say. Uh that I mean that trip itself, like Gullane and Cruden Bay, really did that for me. Yeah, and that helped me in my sort of attitude towards towards Cruden Bay. Yeah, if you pushed me and said, would you if somebody was in that, I’d ask you the question in the last episode, you know, yeah, you’ve only got 18. I’m I’m not recommending Cruden Bay. Yeah, and like don’t get me wrong, like I’m not putting it up on a pedestal, but it was it it it gave me a good feeling playing there, yeah. So that got a consideration for the for the for third place, I suppose. And then probably Gullane. Yeah, you know, that for me again was probably the first time I’ll have to admit, like when we hit three, the the Tee at three, and we could literally just see the whole course laid out ahead of us. Yeah, yeah. It was a bit surprising to me because you could just see people everywhere playing golf there because there’s nothing to block your view, you could just see the whole fucking golf course, yeah. And that was a little bit it took me aback for maybe five minutes when I was like, Oh, I’m not sure I like this. It felt like kind of golf in its simplest format, didn’t it? Yes, it did. Here’s a hill, here’s some like land, yeah. Uh, and it was a thoroughly enjoyable round, thoroughly enjoyable, magical place almost, I felt. Yeah, um, so I got that, and then I’ve got a couple of notable mentions that I’ll probably go in later on, but I think as a as a as a course, those three pushed for that third place, I think.

Chris: 6:53

Yeah, I’m not gonna argue any of those, yeah. I think they’re all good choices.

Nish: 6:57

Yeah, okay, right.

Chris: 6:59

So my number three. No, I’m gonna argue these three.

Nish: 7:02

Yeah, well, you actually mentioned it. So my number three was Hankley Common. Hankley Common, was it? Yeah. Hankley Common was what I would expect a top 10 golf course to be like. Right, okay. It had everything about it, so it had the challenge, you know, it wasn’t too hard. And actually, I was I was shocked at how wide those fairways were. Yeah, okay. I was hitting it well, so you know, you’re gonna be okay. But it was easier, yeah. It felt like it wasn’t like like if you went really wide, yes, you’re gonna be stuck in heather and and whatever, and that’s that’s fine, that’s understandable. But it wasn’t like trying to batter you with difficulty, yeah. But the the some of the holes that we were on, you stood at the Tee. And I’ve I’ve started doing this thing now where I’ll turn around after the green, I’ll just look back down the hole as well. Yeah, but I mean, I think some of them were almost better backwards when he looked at them, and it was just it was 18 holes of genteel but challenging, visually stunning, yeah, and just amazing, magical golf. Like I just felt I felt this is gonna sound really, really corny, but I felt at home there playing golf. Like it felt like that area and that bit of land where they’ve made that golf course that was designed, it was put here on earth to be a golf course.

Chris: 8:25

Yeah, I mean it yeah, it you you felt like there was just nothing else going on anywhere else in the world. You were just you were just in that moment where there was nothing else going on around you, so it was it was it was pretty cool, wasn’t it?

Nish: 8:36

It was amazing, and it and it, you know, they they even it was that was again for me a an example of manicured to the point where you know it’s manicured, yeah, and they’ve looked after it really, really well, but also it just fits in with its surroundings and it was just a stunning place to play golf. Yeah, I loved it. Yeah, and there was a stretch of holes that we played, which was probably it was early on. I mean, I I I liked one because I thought it was a gentle opener, but there was a bit about it. Yeah, two was a fantastic part three.

Chris: 9:12

Brilliant part three that sets you up for the rest of the round, doesn’t it?

Nish: 9:14

Three, I thought was a really interesting hole, a little bit of almost roller coastery about it, you know, you gotta get your landing point and then you kind of dip down. Yeah, four, which the green is right next to the the clubhouse that’s terrible. I mean, the and the clubhouse at Hangley Common was amazing. Like I got in there and I was just like this, I could take this clubhouse round with me everywhere I go. Like it was it was wonderful, and then it was uh we we played five. Five was like what am I it didn’t make my top five, it was one of my favourite holes on on as we were we were going through this kind of journey, yeah. And then you know, we hit that par three in the seventh, was it? Yeah, I mean that was that was a we we both obviously struck it incredibly well and played it very well, but that is a t-shot to put the frighteners on you, yeah, yeah. Uh but but also you stood there and you’re like, yeah, no, I’m gonna go on, I’m gonna give it a go here. Yeah, you know, well, you weren’t sort of stood there going, I’ve got to take my driver out and I’ll just hope for the best. Yeah, um, yeah. I I I said it in the review, I listened back to it, and I kept calling it a grown-up golf course, and that’s that is still the phrase that sticks out at me. Yeah, like you could transport me to Hankley Common any single day of the week, and I would be a pig in shit. Yeah, it’d be great. Yeah, no, yeah, again, the Ferraris in the car park, mate, you know, yeah, absolutely, absolutely. It was so good. Do you know what? I’m saying this with those greens that had been aerated.

Chris: 10:43

Yeah. Like I said, I like I said in my in my in my uh top three, I think if we’d have played that, because I mean that was great. You could tell they were just incredible, even though they’d been they’d had big holes in them, you could tell they would have been like lightning fast if um if they hadn’t hadn’t been aerated.

Nish: 10:58

I know there were some uh big green complexes that were innocuously uh incredible. Like you’d look at it and you go, I’ve seen things that are visually more stunning, and I’ve seen big drop-offs, and I’ve seen these big crater bunkers and whatever. But you know, there was one I think it might have been the eighth or ninth or something like that. It’s the one where um the after the back side of the Tee is where the Skyfall Estate is, so you get to the the actual green, and it’s it’s a pretty big green, so it’s a big target. I missed my approach, but I ended up in between bunkers in this little tuft of heather. Yeah, you know, and that’s a tough place to be. But when I stood back from it, I thought, that’s beautiful. There’s two lovely, well-manicured bunkers, and this little tuft of heather just at the top there, just to give you a little bit of challenge and get onto this big green. Yeah, fabulous golf course. Yeah, it was absolutely fabulous golf course.

Chris: 11:49

It was yeah, and I I agree. I think the the way they kind of just I don’t know, like the heather and and and spoiler alert, you might come to this in in my uh in my in my top five holes, but like the way the the way the kind of heather and the tree lines and the bunkers, like and the the the pristineness of it, like it just looks, yeah, like it’s just visually, it’s it’s just incredible, isn’t it?

Nish: 12:10

We were we obviously we played it on another very hot day. This is becoming a recurrent theme, but we I said that this feels like almost we’re playing golf abroad, and it really did feel like that. Like then fairways were lush, it was just it was postcard perfect that place, but in not a try-hard way, yeah. It was natur it was naturally elegant, yeah.

Chris: 12:31

And we went in there with pretty low expectations, I think it’s fair to say, because we kind of looked at it and gone, hmm, it looks fairly flat and dull, but it was anything but that, wasn’t it? Didn’t feel it at all when we were there. So that was that was my number three. Okay, so do you want to take us up to to number two then, Nish? Up next in the list. Chris, number two. So you said these were fairly nailed on your number one and two. So much.

Nish: 12:52

My number one and two were really were really nailed on. It it’s I’m trying to think what it is now. I’m I’m number two, number two for me was Dumbarnie. Dumbarnie, yeah, okay, fair enough. Now, we made it short because we played off short Tees. So that didn’t that probably help a little bit, but that to me, we entitled the review Is This the Best of Golf in Scotland? And I think from an overall experience of golf, and I’m kind of coming at it from that a little bit. I don’t think we’re gonna beat that. I really don’t. It had a few things that were so well thought out, yeah, that the that’s only afforded to a new golf club. Yeah, because the others have existing facilities.

Chris: 13:37

Yeah, I mean ultimately all the decisions they’re making are for your experience. They’re not having to worry about members and annoying people, yeah. They’ve got one, they’ve got one target market, right? Your golfing pleasure for that, yeah.

Nish: 13:50

I mean, you know, again, we said it in the review, but you come out the clubhouse ready to go and warm up, you walk probably 30 paces to the practice range, which is fantastic by the way, grass range, crater balls, all that kind of thing. Yeah, dead long, you can hit every club in the bag. You walk backwards 15 paces, you’re on the practice screen. Yeah, and then just next to that, there’s a short game practice area, yeah. And then you go, Oh, um I’m teeing off in five minutes. Oh no, but oh, I’m only 10 paces from the first Tee. Yeah. You’re just it’s unhurried then, like the whole thing. Yeah, and then you get to the first Tee, and the views were just unbelievable. Yeah, you know, it just stacked up, everything stacked up for me on that golf course, and I think that again had the right degree of and I’m you know, I’m coming, I’m a I’m a 17.3 handicapper right now, and I don’t envisage that changing. I very much look at like taking on the challenge of Carnoustie, and I’ve I’ve I would absolutely defend your right to go. I want to play the tough golf courses. Yeah, for me, the playability of Dumbarnie is what almost pushed it to the next level beyond oh, it’s an experience. It’s like I do know I’m you can’t go there and not enjoy your golf. No, I yeah, I think I agree. I think it’s probably one of the things. Even Jim would enjoy it there. Yeah, one of the most important things. It was so good, wasn’t it? It was, yeah. You know, and it was just and it just felt like that care and attention gone into it. And then you know, the little things that and I I say this about when we go away for weekends, like me and my wife, or me and my mates, or whatever. And if you you turn up somewhere, and you once you get you go into your hotel room, and it’s like everything’s nice, like the bathroom’s lovely, the bed’s really well made, oh it’s a comfy pillow, whatever. Like, you just go, I’m gonna have a great weekend. Like that basic stuff is sorted and it’s looked after and it’s done. I don’t have to worry about it. So we finished, and it was like, we know we’re gonna have a good time in the uh clubhouse afterwards eating, yeah. Because it’s just gonna be sorted. Yeah, yeah. We’re not gonna be rushed out, not gonna feel like they’re packing up around us or anything like that. It was like I mean it’s quite the opposite, they were just waiting for us to leave, right?

Chris: 16:04

We were just uh they were just like, yeah, just carry guys as long as you guys are here with it. But it was obviously pitch black, wasn’t it, when we got outside?

Nish: 16:12

I was already to get the torch on my uh phone out, but it it just it did everything. I know you’ve got the you’ve got the bag in in front of you that we got, you know, and just yeah, it was a it was a wondrous place to go and play golf, and I think you could even go as a as a high handicapper, oh, absolutely, and you could shoot a good score there, or you could have a good few goes at Par or Birdie or whatever.

Chris: 16:34

And I think it’s an interesting point. I think we we’ve kind of you know we’ve touched on it a few times, I think, in a few episodes of if somebody came to you who’s just your average golfer and said, Which course would you go and play? Dumbarnie is a good thing. At the minute I’m sending them right there, yeah, isn’t it? Yeah, yeah, you’re gonna have a great experience, you’re gonna have a good round pretty much.

Nish: 16:52

I feel like if you pulled a guy off the street and you said, you know, d describe to me a top 100 golf experience. Yeah, because they obviously need to be a golfer, right? But you know, but they’d they’d come pretty close to describing what you’d get at Dumbarnie because you’d expect the fineries, you’d expect like a really nice clubhouse, you’d expect like somebody’s gonna come and get your trolley and and your bag and whatever. Um you’re gonna get a little tag with your name, even just like that. We’ve not had that with your name on it and all that kind of stuff. You’re like, yeah, actually, yeah.

Chris: 17:21

Yeah. See when money’s gone. And it’s an interesting thing, because it’s such a new thing, you can almost kind of you can almost sense that someone’s kind of sat down and gone, right, how are we gonna do this? And whoever did sit down and do that, you did a bloody good job. Because A A, you thought of all the right things, but B, you then executed them because everything was just exactly how you would want it.

Nish: 17:42

That almost verbatim, you’ve just read out the email I sent to to David at Dumbarnie. I said exactly that. I was like, maybe people don’t say it because they focus on golf, but it’s so clear that so much care and attention has gone in. Like, I get that you are a pay and play golf course and you need like American tourists coming in, you need you know, tourists from around the world, and then obviously British golfers coming in. Yeah, but the fact that you put so much care into the all the little details that just shows you do actually care about every single pound and pence that’s going into your bank account from their tribute fees. Yeah, and I was like, that that says a lot about how you set all this up. So yeah, um, wonderful.

Chris: 18:23

That was that was Dunbarny. Yeah, fair enough. Again, I’m not gonna argue with that because Dumbarnie was just class. Like I say, I think if it had been five or six years down the road, it probably would have been in my top three as well.

Nish: 18:32

Yeah, I had to sort of detach myself from recency bias there as well, because I was like, Am I just only thinking this because we’ve only just played it recently? No, but I think it was it stacked up, didn’t it?

Chris: 18:40

It really stacked up. So, yeah, so that was number two. That’s number two. So then, I know you’ve kind of given us your you know, your your your potential third places, but any other notable mentions again. I don’t know. I do have a couple of notable mentions, yeah.

Nish: 18:53

And and I felt uh much like you, I’m gonna mention a course that I felt bad it wasn’t in my top three, yeah. Uh, and that is Hindhead. Okay, and I did feel bad it wasn’t in my top three for a few reasons. Like we got made so welcome there, yeah. Uh, and this isn’t a a criticism of that golf club or course because it was wonderful, and the atmosphere just permeated through absolutely everybody. Yeah, yeah. We had the most fun, it was the best golf club we’ve been to, for sure. 100% like hands down, best golf club we’ve been to.

Chris: 19:21

Definitely.

Nish: 19:22

But that front nine, yeah, we did our preview and we were mega excited about that front nine, and then we got to it, and I cannot say it disappointed in any way, shape, or it surpassed our expectations, which were fucking sky high anyway. It was unbelievable that front nine. Like, I couldn’t almost believe where we were playing golf. Yeah, it just felt almost otherworldly.

Chris: 19:50

Yeah, it was so good, and I and I think we said it at the time, didn’t we, that I think that was the the most misranked course we’ve played. I think now we’ve played a stack more. Absolutely for sure, that should not be down there at 91. 91, I think it was.

Nish: 20:05

Yeah, that was outrageous. It’s it’s up there that course. I mean, okay, you could argue the back nine doesn’t reach the highs, yeah. But I I um I’m actually I’ll I’ll give you before I give you my number one course, I’ll I’ll tell you how so you know you sort of said you looked at your courses and you thought it’s actually the toughness is a is an element that has really come out in your your choices. For me, I did a thing where I said, can I in my head, without looking at anything, can I remember all 18 holes of that golf course? Yeah, and that my top three I could, yeah, like very much so. The ones that I mentioned just in the that were in the frame, I could do that as well. Yeah, and then I mean, but that I would never ever forget that front nine at hindhead. Yeah, I mean, and I think I’d remember I remember almost all the 18 at Hindhead, and I almost feel that front nine could carry the back any back nine, yeah. I could play the worst back nine in my local course, and I’d still walk away going, Damn, that’s a pretty good golf course there. Because it was that good, it was it was like a roller coaster ride that place. If you get a chance, it’s fucking friendly anyway, like, and it’s such a fabulous place to go. But you have to experience that front nine. Like, I feel like that is before you you pack up your clubs for good, that is an experience you must take in. Yeah, I think it’s definitely the most unique course we played, isn’t it? 100%. Yeah, so that was that was one special mention, and the other special mention I have was for where we did our first um society day, and that was at Hollingwell, and there was a stretch 13 to 18, which grabbed my attention right from the start. That par three, you know, really elevated T. Yeah, massive green, but it was like there’s something about this, and it grabbed my attention from that point and didn’t let it go till we finished 18. Yeah, and I loved that stretch of golf holes. Like, if I could take almost my perfect golf course, would almost be front nine at hindhead, that 13 to 18 stretch at Hollingwell. Yeah, yeah. And then I’ve got like three holes to make up somewhere, and I’ll probably take them from my top five, you know, whatever. But but I could almost just go, do you know? Just give me a straight, wide open par four, whatever, yeah, knowing full well I’m gonna play 13 to 18. Yeah, it just it was amazing, it really was. And again, that was another place that was it just felt like anotherworldly place to go and play your golf. It was secluded, it was quiet. Like, yeah, I was struggling, like walking down the fairway, just going, I’m out of breath here, but I don’t want to breathe too much because I bet everyone can hear it. You know, you put the deer off and roots down, yeah. It was that peaceful. It was that was wonderful. So they’re my my two mega like special mentions, yeah. Uh yeah, which then brings me to numero you know course number one. Well, if it’s not in the top three, I think you could pretty much guess what is course number one, and it’s the same, it’s it’s Trump International Links in Aberdeen. Yeah, what a place!

Chris: 23:03

What a place it’s funny that we both agree on that because, like I say, we we both have very different perspectives on on what we like and what we don’t like, but yeah, it was just it was just so good on all fronts.

Nish: 23:14

Had me at the 700 pound shoe bag, yeah. Uh that that course, and funnily enough, the the clubhouse was for me wasn’t that impressive.

Chris: 23:25

It was actually disappointing, wasn’t it? The clubhouse, like it was a locker room, pretty rubbish to be honest, wasn’t it?

Nish: 23:29

Tiny, like the showers were alright, but it was there was two of them for all these people playing. Yeah, yeah. I was just like, What is this locker room here? I don’t get it. Like, I couldn’t even find where the towels were, had to ask somebody for that. Um, Pro Shop was tiny, yeah. You know, I mean the restaurant was great, don’t get me wrong. The restaurant was fantastic, but yeah, like it didn’t seem to have need that almost, but yeah, it’s it didn’t quite fit that for some reason, did it? But no, yeah, I feel like the clubhouse is not befitting with the quality of the colour. I’m gonna think that I’m pretty sure that will change. They’ll they’ll change that. Yeah, yeah, now it’s a new course there as well. Listen, now it’s been mentioned on the top 100 in terms of podcast, yeah. They’re gonna do it, it has to happen, mate. That that oh you we’ve obviously spoken at the last episode, and I sort of chirped in a little bit. I was trying to button my lip a little bit because I knew it was my number one, but uh yeah, just again, a a breathtaking view some every single Tee. There’s not a Tee there where you you don’t you don’t want to get your phone out, yeah.

Chris: 24:21

You know, I mean my my fuck count for that day must have been pretty fucking high because every time you stand up and see you go, Fuck it’s just amazing, wasn’t it?

Nish: 24:30

Yeah, and then you kind of go the and then it had one thing that I do like about playing golf is when you’re playing and and you can’t see other people actually. I quite like that because you got that challenge, and yeah, because I mean other people are just overrated, right? They’re just idiots, although I hate people, yeah. Yeah, uh apart from people who listen to quality golf podcasts, but it just had everything visually. This cut that we talked about the contrast, the almost fake green almost versus the yellow, the fescue, and everything was like Hindhead front nine, you know, it’s in that in the amongst the dunes, and you had the duneland thing. Yeah, you know, you had tee-shots where it demanded your attention, but how rewarding on all of those when you hit your tee-shot, like it was like wow, I’ve done it. Like that was unbelievable, yeah. And I’ve never experienced it, but I was walking along there. I mean, Links fairways are pretty springy, but they were the they must have had trampolines under them because they were so springy, weren’t they? Yeah, and then little things like we couldn’t find a divot anywhere because they all just get sorted out overnight, and it was like beyond perfect, wasn’t it? This place is fabulous, absolutely fabulous. So that’s another thing, it will just live in my memory forevermore. Yeah, that golf course, and that was a good criteria for me. That you know, what am I gonna remember? It was completely unforgettable, wasn’t it? Totally unforgettable, yeah.
