Deposits being taken for Irish Craic Classic 2012

I'm back!!!! Boys gonna give this one a miss, been trying to get summit sorted but it is taking the pee a bit when I've got a four month old baby (and a five yr old) to bugger off golfing for the weekend when I'm already at 2 stagg weekends and at the Olympics for a week! Oh and she's giving me earache about getting a holiday booked! Don't get me wrong she said go but there's plenty time for golfing jaunts when the little ones are a bit bigger.
From what I've heard from dodge its a great weekend so get your names down.
 
Come on guys, lets start seeing some more names going down for this weekend.

Brendy has, once again, got us a great deal. Normal green fees are 90 euro and 80 euro but we have 2 rounds of golf and 2 nights in a 3 star hotel for 179 euro!! Unbelievable value and well done Brendy

These are two great courses, coming in at numbers 9 (Glashedy) and 20 (Old Course) in the top 100 courses in Ireland ahead of such places as Doonbeg and The Island.

It was a great weekend last year, with some good golf and loads of great Guinness:cheers:

You can fly into City of Derry airport (30 mins away) or get the ferry to Larne or Belfast (90 mins away) if you coming from the mainland so no excuses that is too far away.

Come on you know you want to:thup:
 
Hi all,

Hoping to arrive on 21st May, leave on 28th.

26/7 are taken care of but looking to fill the other days.

Had a couple of offline chats / invites but looking for suggestions, advice, invites for other courses.

Don't mind travelling at all and if required will hire a car and willing to share travel / bunk with other forummers.

Appreciated,

Steve...

Hi Stephen,
Chris has PM'd me, looks like it's a goer, not arranged any accomodation yet, think I will wing that bit.
Have no experience of Ireland, hence the post.

See you all there,

Cheers

Ok mate well thats us sorted with a 4 ball for the friday at my place and If i can sort a full day earlier in the week we could take a run up to Portsalon where Chris is a member for a game if not we could get an evening game at a track a bit closer.

Will sort out all the details a bit closer to the time

Cheers

Would love to be going but not sure if I'll have a job come May :confused:
 
Re: Irish Craic Classic 2012 Ballyliffin 26th & 27th May Deposits now being take

I keep coming back to this thread, opening a new tab and looking at the course website and then at my calendar. If I can pay at the end of April (in full) can I be put down as a provisional yes for 2 rounds and 1 night. With getting married next year and HID wanting to start a family then this could be a once in a lifetime opportunity for me and neither of these courses are on my society calendars. Please tell me its not going to be stroke though ;). I'm a 22 handicap trapped in a 28's swing.
