Re: Draw For ICC 4-6 July 2014

Just to echo what has already been said (posting from my mobile), A great weekends good honest golf and fun each evening with a bunch of down to earth guys and Bob (or was that PAUL PAUL PAUL?). Thanks to the guys that made the trip across water,Phil, Steve and Cian as well as Gary,brother and Alan (Hammertoe) who helped make the weekend so enjoyable.

The courses:
Concra Wood is a fantastic course that I think we all enjoyed, even the on off rain couldnt put a dent in the day. Some of the par 3 and par 4s around the lake are just stunning and a real test of golf, even from the girly green tees (shade under 6700 yards) Gibbo, LanDog,John Bayly and myself were playing together and had a great day out and smashing grub in the clubhouse afterwards.

Farnham estate, underrated "gem" of a course with greens that can only be described as flawless and a joy to walk on nevermind putt on. Myself and Smange went out first as a two ball and walked the round rather than use carts and its safe to say it is a long long way round. Buggies are highly recommended. We played from the white tees, again around 6700 yards.Steve played well and was great company while I struggled to find fairways all day. Weatherwise it was pretty good all day bar one small downpour for 15 mins early in the round.

Slieve Russell (white tees 6650 yards) was this morning and the neither the course nor the weather disappointed. Every single hole was immaculate, greens were treacherous in places and the bunkers were tricky and well placed. For me, the second nine was the best as they incorporate risk reward shots over water as well as fair bail out areas. JB won the main ICC trophy while Steve (Gibbo) worked even harder to take the Booby prize back to England but promises to up his game for next year..

Re: Draw For ICC 4-6 July 2014

Yep guys,

Great weekend again and it's was a pleasure organising, delighted you all enjoyed the courses but having played Farnham and Slieve Russell previously I knew you all would.

Thanks to all who came and a special mention to the two who made the trip from England, Phil and Steve (Gibbo). Enjoyed your company on the rounds we played together and over the whole weekend.

Congratulations and well played John (bayjon) on lifting the trophy today, although still not sure I believe you holed that 7th shot on the 13th for a point :eek: although it wasn't quite of the quality of Gibbo's bunker lesson he gave on 17, then gave again, then gave again :rofl:

Just a wee mention for this poor hobo who we came across on the way to dinner on Saturday night

Yes we done the decent thing and took him with us and gave him a good feed but he does have a strange habit of taking tomato ketchup in his coffee :confused:
 
Re: Draw For ICC 4-6 July 2014

It's 6 am and just back home after a 5 1/2 hour drive, completely knackered, but very happy after a brilliant weekend
Thanks to Smange for organising the Craic and the superb golf courses.
Never in Fragger history has so much beer been consumed and so much laughter experienced.
Thanks to all the lads for the warmth of your welcome , hope to repeat it next year :)
I'm off to bed. 😎

Lol that reads like it was nice to meet everyone but not nice to meet me ;)

Let's just clarify that you didn't have the displeasure of my company because I was unable to be there :D

Great courses though.
 
Re: Draw For ICC 4-6 July 2014

right up and at em, had a kip, sorted my washing out and a bit gutted its all over :(

On a plus I have just been on the phone to my mate for an hour recalling bits and bobs and the courses we played. Smange picked some crackers and one not so....(it was a nice course but jeebus was it a slog) I am sure we saw a Yeti up in them mountains it was that hilly ;)

I will indeed be back next year although I might fly as that was a slog and poor Phil had to endure me snoozing on the way back and dribbling like a baby in my sleep. How he managed to do the drive I dont know. Just sorting renewing my membership now as I will be winning the other prize next year!!!

Re: Draw For ICC 4-6 July 2014

Great meeting yourself and Phil, glad you came over, hopefully show some of the county limited blokes that there are actually good courses outside their own postcodes!
Talking about treks, it took me almost 2 hours to travel 20km going through Clones to Monaghan as there had been a gaelic football game on and both sets of fans had to get up the one chuffing road. Home just after 8 though so nothing compared to you guys!:D
