Draw For ICC 4-6 July 2014 & photos

Re: Draw For ICC 4-6 July 2014

The Mod Cup (OK It isnt actually a cup)

As a side contest I am donating the Irish Craic Classic Mod Cup to the impressive list of prizes already on offer (cough)
at least it gives Chris a 3 to 1 chance of winning it, seeing as he hasnt picked up a club in 9 months (is he pregnant??)

Trust me, the engraving cost more than the trophy :)

Thought you were going to get a wing mirror from a 1962 Vespa.......:rofl:
 
Re: Draw For ICC 4-6 July 2014

Way I see it

If I dont win it, I gotta go back and try again next year
and if I do win it, I gotta go back next year and defend it :)

either way its a win win :whoo:

:mmm:

Bragging rights are the only prizes on offer I do believe, unless of course someone has come up with some sponsorship deal that I am totally unaware of :whistle:

Oh and a few quid in the sweep :whoo:
 
Re: Draw For ICC 4-6 July 2014

Playing on Friday, I was having some trouble with my putting. 1 putted one green (only birdie of the day)

Greens were a bit faster than what I had been used to in Leeds so that might've been a factor, but I've got my unused YES! Callie here staring at me so I'm very tempted to bring that along for the game at Rossmore and throw it into contention as well as the #7



EDIT: Also, does anyone remember the fella who used to be on here that wrote the book 'Hooked' where he had reviewed every course in Ireland, well I was having a look through it the other day and the 4 courses scored very well but there was no mention of the points system for Farnham, just wondering why

That would be Kevin Markham and he is still about the forum from time to time. I actually invited him to the ICC but he can't make it as playing in one of the multi-day comps that be on throughout the summer.

Plus he has no scores for Farnham as when he was there the back 9 wasn't complete so he only played the front 9 and walked the back 9.

Great book and I always refer to it before going to play a course for the first time.

I love the book, definitely one of the better 'stocking fillers' that I've gotten for Christmas!

Re: Draw For ICC 4-6 July 2014

What's that book on Bill?

What does he work as?
Not totaly sure on either mate but book has received good reviews, it has a golfer on the front & called Driving the Green so there has to be a good bit on golf in it ,

he travels around playing and photographing alot of courses so id imagine he a freelance journalist / author


Search @kevinmarkham on twitter mate all will come clear
