    Castlemartyr is an excellent course as well. Worthy subsititute.

    Don’t worry ssbob, we know what your organisation skills are like, remember my captains day?!!!!

    Only joking!!!

    Best I am kept away from any dates/times going forward.... if I ever get to Captain the society I will be delegating!!! Thankfully that's why I have a secretary in work ;-)

    I see that American Golf have just opened up a store at Rosses Point, so we'll have a spot close by to stock up before captains

    Nothing like arriving to an event and realising you have no balls :D

    Given the venue I imagine there could be plenty of people needing every spare they can get their hands on :(

    Howya,
    Did you send on your details to Seveob to get added to the text service?

    Unfortunately, there's a rule in place where points are only added when you become a member. We've had a few lads in your situation before as well and we had to stick to it, its only fair on the rest of the lads. Hope you understand. It's all about enjoying the courses we play with the added bonus of the matchplay at the end of the year.

    Hey Charlie, no I didn't. I'll pop him a msg there now.

    I partly guessed that... was being a total chancer :)

    Updated GOTY after Dundrum - poor turnout but some handy points up for grabs. Good win by Tiger but has he peaked too early?

    Great course, didn't enjoy it that much as I lost 2 balls after two great shots because the gps of the phone was marking the wrong distances and that put me off (I was playing really well). But all in all really good course. Great company with doublecross, paulos53 and woodyg. None of us could get the speed of the greens at all, that subtracted a few points per head, we were always short.

    Unlike Tiger I welcome handicap cuts - Shows I'm playing well and improving.. Plus I don't think I played my best Saturday far from it. Now if I could only get my GUI handicap down....

    I'm in too Captain & will probably be aiming to head down the Friday before too, so would be interested in squeezing a round in somewhere, preferably with an open on.

    Need to confirm what my car situation will be for it first

    Same here boss.

    I've actually got reciprocal playing rights for Strandhill but unfortunately doesn't include Fridays, would have joined you otherwise.

    Hey, if you are Tullamore then you are part of the Braid Course system which is international but your best value is likely Mullingar at €20

    That is possibly because Fridays are open days, more reason to play there! 30 quid
