Sorry i wont be making it this year guys , was a smashing weekend last year, excellently organised & was great meeting all the group , finances have dictated against it this year , family holiday has to take precident ,

Good Luck & have a great weekend of it , hopefuly next year

Bill you should have brought the family with you.

Brendy would have been able to do the babysitting as he is only bringing enough balls for a game on friday

One plus point of you not coming is I can concentrate on my own game instead of watching were your balls go in the rough and finding them for you

Seriously though mate shhame you cant make it. Hopefully next year:thup:

Saturday 26th Glashedy Links 12pm tee off
Sunday 27th The Old Links Course 12pm tee off

You sure we are playing the courses in this order mate as was on Ballyliffen fixture list and noticed their comps are Glashedy saturday and Old sunday

Not that it really matters except for people only playing one day

 

[brendy]

Yea you are right, just checked my email the latest email I had says:
Sat 26 May 12.00 Old Links
Sun 27 May 12.00 Glashedy Links

But a previous one stated

We have availability on those 2 dates.

Sat 26 May Glashedy
Sun 27 May Old Links

Let me know what time you’d like to play at each day.

Both fantastic courses so shouldnt matter. Just means Ill be leaving the driver in the bag more often on Saturday

Well it does mean we are playing the harder and longer course with a severe hangover

 

[brendy]

Ach sure its not until 12pm. Plenty of time for a big old fry up and then an hours practice in the short game area while stuffing our faces with a fryup doggy bag.
To be honest though, I found the old course harder, especially the holes down along the sea.

Really? Glashedy harder I think but then again when we played it was probably as good weather conditions as you get down there and the rough wasnt up too much, also you hit a big ball which helps on the Glashedy

It is a modern links though (I know) and by that I mean big wide fairways and fairly big greens. You can see the difference at my place between the older holes and the newer ones and between the two courses at rosapenna. I think a lot of folk would find a modern links easier.

Sitting in work checking the forums. Getting real excited now about the weekend. Phoning tomorrow to add Friday night to my booking. Think I'll need and 6 dozen balls. 2 to lose for each hole.

 

[chris661]

:lol: it will surprise you!













Best buy them before you get there though.

 

[palindromicbob]

My math was wrong. Only need 3 dozen. It's still stableford right. So that's 3 of the tee and then a walk with the group until the next tee box. Better get 6 still though. Another 36 for short game practice area. So I can get 72 drives and 72 chips for the 100 euro green fees. Bargain. :whoo:

 

[brendy]

Have no fear, you will find other balls along the way if you stray off the fairways but it seriously is good fun and you wont find a more entertaining setup than this place.

 

[brendy]

Big thanks to Jezz for kindly donating a putter from the Gear cupboard. Shall be used as a prize on Sunday round the big course.
