At the time of the photo both the golf links and the racecourse were on the low lying reclaimed land behind the main beach in Tramore. The sea broke through the sea wall , i think in 1914 and drowned both the links and race course which were both rebuilt in locations higher up in the town in later years.

The wiki article above has this photo with "c1900" which implies the tin shed was the new clubhouse.

There are terraces of tall houses/chimney stacks on the skyline. Looking at the 25" 1900ish map, the only possibility I see is Baldoyle.

If I'm expected to produce extra sticky buns, then I need at least 24 hours' notice... 😀

Those walls would help me with my slice
