Irish Craic Classic 2013 ideas

[brendy]

Roll up Roll up, dont all rush at once yada yada yada.
A few of us have been chatting and think east coast is a probability this year, potentially including Seapoint, Baltray (irish open a couple of years back, excellent course) and Druids Glen. Time wise, probably going to make it later in the year (although Ballyliffin both years were sundrenched affairs and we really couldnt complain) August is looking likely.
So, runners and riders show a little interest and we'll see where it goes.

Ballyliffin is hard to beat, has everything we need and at a great price.

Only other real option is Druids Glen/Heath as your going to struggle to get on any of the other big name courses at the weekend.

I emailed Druids and they will do us a price of 105 Euros for a round on each course (70 Druids Glen and 35 Heath) for anyone who may only be able to make 1 round if it turns out to be Druids... they will do us accommodation in their hotel for 65 euro per person sharing based on 2 in a twin room....100 euro a night for single occupancy for anyone not wanting to share.
So for 2 rounds and 1 night accom its 170 Euro

I think im right saying it was 150 Euro for Ballyliffin for 1 night/2 rounds

Cant really think of any other viable options for a weekend

Ballyliffin was 150 2 nts and 2 rounds, very good value all told. Plus there are the bars that time forgot in Clonaaamany.
Ill be going wherever but not sure on accommodation arrangements yet.

Already got trip to RCD & Portrush in April and Oktoberfest again late September but seeing as HID is saying she may not bother having an away holiday with me next year I may have room to manoeuvre.:clap:

Could be interested

Asked Druids if they will hold the golf price even if we dont book accommodation with them and they said they will honour the price quoted so if we go for Druids we are free to find cheaper digs nearby.

For that we may need to ask someone from down that way (bladeplayer) to recommend us somewhere to stay

I am good for any venue and wont make the same mistake as last year and double book with Vegas.
I will happily arrange a Friday warmup in Seapoint (drogheda) for anyone travelling from the Northern part of the country if it is decided to go South.
Carton has been mentioned, but they might have crazy ideas of the value of the place after the irish open.
If Druids is the option, it might be worth holding tight until about 4 weeks before in case their is an open in the European club which at €60 is a real deal.
So Brendy,count me in.

 

[LanDog]

What are the main options that you're considering here, Brendy?

 

[LanDog]

See, you will.

Is he green?

 

[smange]

Green is the least of your worries

Anyway you must know him, he plays at Omagh as well

I'm confused now, Bob is the only other person from Omagh that I know on here

Knowing Bob is confusing for everyone so dont worry about it.
