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.

I would say it would be ok as I still have to pay my deposit (next week Brendy promise). Last year it was an absolutely cracking weekend and will be again this year hopefully. Dont worry about it being stroke either I would imagine a lot of folk will be fuddled with guinness :lol:

Payment then should be ok matey, I have the tee times reserved and any more rooms shouldnt be a problem, there were plenty of rooms available last year, plus you would be sharing anyway if numbers are even.

Chris, No probs..

If I remember right it was stableford both days last year, or is my memory a bit hazy with the after effects of the Rusty Nail on the saturday night?

Yea stableford points guys, stroke would be cruel on some of the guys and could turn a good round into a very long one!
Payday week for anyone else thinking about coming over, come on get your name down.

BTW for those of us wanting to play castlerock first, the teetimes are getting tight, 1-2pm is free but everything else is booked out so might need to skip off work very early to make it up for around 1pm.

Hows the numbers looking now Brendy?

Anywhere near last years figure?

Re: Irish Craic Classic 2012 Ballyliffin 26th & 27th May Deposits now being take

Numbers are looking okay not as many as last year but im still waiting on a few more inc GM staffers. At least half a dozen of us staying both nights so the rusty nail will get a touch
Looking at around 14-16 at the moment playing either or both days.

Meant to say also, deposits are with the hotel (€42 or £35) the remainder of the €79 to be paid to them then €50 per round paid at the golf club before play commences rather than paying the hotel everything.

Another couple of tasters

The big man himself

The little man himself

The fantastic 7th on the Glashedy course.

I'm confused. Are those the 2 night prices? Is it still 145 euro for the 1 night and 2 rounds?? Do I send you the despoit? Please advise

Yep 145 Euro for 1 night and 2 rounds and you pay Brendy your deposit.

Golf is 50 Euro per round so 100 total which has to be paid at golf club before playing each day.

Your £35 or 42 Euro deposit is for your hotel so basically when you leaving the hotel you only owe them 3 Euro.

Well thats the way Im reading it anyway:mmm:

Re: Irish Craic Classic 2012 Ballyliffin 26th & 27th May Deposits now being take

Pretty much yea. 45 euros for one night, 79 euros for 2 nights payable to the hotel, 42 euro deposit practically pays for the 1 nighters!.
50 euros per round at Ballyliffin, I doubt you will get a better course and facilities in the UK&Ire for this money.
All in for 2 nights B&B and 2 rounds of golf, 179 euros (roughly 150 quid)
1 night B&B and 2 rounds of golf, 145 euros.


The Hotel itself is 2-3 mins drive from the course and tee offs are booked for a hangover friendly 12 o'clock, same as last year (even though one reveller just about made his teetime and photocall! )

We all meet up in the hotel bar usually Friday night for a few pints, maybe even head to another pub. Pints are a reasonable 3 euros or so, decent food and Guinness isnt bad there either.

The course has a decent little short game practice area and a driving range beside (a field really) where range balls are available.

Come on men get involved!!

2 quality golf courses and you WILL NOT get a better deal anywhere in the UK & Ireland than this one.If I didn't have a ridiculously stupid schedule I would have been there in a flash.

I'm almost certain I won't be able to go this year, wife found out yesterday she has to work that weekend so unless that falls through I'll be looking after our young lad.

Re: Irish Craic Classic 2012 Ballyliffin 26th & 27th May Deposits now being take

Not to worry Emmett, sure wait and see.
Numbers are dwindling a little this year, still waiting on GM staff and one or two more deposits. If any of you guys attending know of anyone else, interested, work away and get them along.

Dodger, we might be calling you and kiddo on as subs yet

Re: Irish Craic Classic 2012 Ballyliffin 26th & 27th May Deposits now being take

Palindromicbob has confirmed his place, booking paid to hotel and is playing both days.

Guys can I ask that if you are coming, please get in touch asap as numbers will need to be amended with the golf club. I have a couple of local guys still waiting to hear back from work etc but would like to know final numbers in the next couple of days.
