    Chipping and putting green, with two hitting nets

    So would Kinsealy be the closest range to the place, if you wanted to hit a small bucket of full length shots?

    Another close enough to Portmarnock is the Halpenny Driving Range at the entrance to Dublin Airport. You can hit off turf or mats and also has putting and chipping greens.

    Right Folks we seem to have a bit of a issue as I was doing the timesheet out I noticed 29 have accepted on teamer but we only have 28 slots!

    So before I have to let someone down can I just please ask that you are all committed to going Saturday 100% and if you are unsure please could you unaccept on teamer and let us know by PM.

    As I would hate to have to inform someone that I have no room for them and for someone not to show on the day as you can imagine!

    I will leave it to Wednesday afternoon and hopefully it works itself out.

    Regards

    Benny.

    Have sent pm and declined on teamer, hope to see all at next outing, am sure you will enjoy your day on a great course

    I'm going to have to do a last minute drop out myself now lads.

    Just got a shout from Club Captain to say that our team jumped up the leaderboard on the final weekend & picked up the last automatic qualifier spot for the Winter League final on Saturday.

    Its matchplay & the first real major of the year. I've never actually been on a team that qualified for it, so think I'll have to play at home instead.

    Am gutted that they're clashing, was really looking forward to getting out to Portmarnock & seeing all the crew. Its a class course & should be a great day (plus a bit of links practice before St Andrews would have been a major bonus).

    Will change my status on Teamer to declined to confirm it on the system. Sorry for the late notice Captain, will have to catch you at the next outing.

    Anyone played the course recently? How's it holding up? If it's as windy as it was last Sunday, it'll be a bloody nightmare to play i'd say.

    Its playing quite easy at the moment, there is no real rough to speak of. The course is 125 yards short due to the 13th green being under construction.

    Saturday will be a bit windy, with gusts up to 51 km/h but no rain forecast as of today.

    Played in November. Agree very little rough to speak of on some holes. You could get away with murder.

    I think it was the sixth I had the least deserved bogie ever. Wild slice of the tee. Hooked two hybrid from the wrong fairway. Somehow found easily it on top of a hill, followed up with massively mi**** wedge, then a jigger out of the rough for a tap in bogey. I felt so embarrased

    Class showers and changing facilities with towels provided. What you would expect of a top 20 ranked course

    Don’t let the low rough fool you, it’s still a tough course!

    Don’t get me wrong. I only had 22 points!! Putting it down to bad day!!

    The greens were very tricky. Considering my home course was running at 10 today

    Met Eireann now is forecasting the wind to start to calm a little around tee times and throughout the afternoon, but now also forecasting some possible rain to start then.

    Today in Portmarnock, in glorious sunshine, on the 14th approaching the green I believe. Excellent course, beautiful day.
