As awesome as drinking shots off the bar ?

And by drinking you mean sucking it off the manky rotten bar top :rofl:

Says mr sudocrem.
It was only the top of it, the manky bit was left on the counter.

Sir Gibbo of Gibbo and myself are narrowing down our search to get a quick pre ICC game in on Thursday 3rd July. late afternoon and are looking between Dublin & Monaghan.

Anyone played Mannan Castle? looks like a nice place and at 20 euro's fits the budget.

Of course anyone wishing to join us would be warmly welcomed

Opinions chaps please

From what I've heard/read you would be better heading all the way to Monaghan and playing Rossmore G.C
http://www.rossmoregolfclub.ie

Nothing wrong with Mannan Castle but Rossmore is supposedly a good bit better and roughly the same cost.

I have already emailed Rossmore asking for a price for a game on the Thursday evening for the 6 of us staying in Monaghan and just waiting to hear back from them, in fact I must chase them up.

How does that sound Phil? Or have you booked Mannan yet?

 

[PhilTheFragger]

No nothing booked yet, just investigating, rossmore sounds great and even better if there is a group of us
We should be up in Monaghan by 16.00 ish

Have just re-emailed them so hopefully hear back from them shortly.

At least it will keep us off the sauce a little before Concra the next day as being in a hotel from about 4pm is only going to get messy :cheers:

 

[PhilTheFragger]

There's still plenty of time
Can't wait to sample my first pint of the Black Stuff on Irish soil

It's a completely different taste from the Guinness you get over there, I'm Scottish and living over here 20 years and have tried it back home but the stuff they call Guinness on the mainland is a poor imitation of the real McCoy.

It even looks far better over here




I do believe that's a photo taken from the first ICC in the infamous Rusty Nail :cheers:

 

[PhilTheFragger]

You can be chief taster Steve
Just don't spit it back in afterwards

Oh I'm sure I will manage to taste 1 or 2

Spit out beer?????

Who would commit such a heinous crime?

Certainly not me :cheers:

 

[PhilTheFragger]

Wise words , let the Craic countdown begin

 

[chris661]

What is this beer that you speak of?

 

[PhilTheFragger]

It is a beverage with mystic properties as an inhibition inhibiter

I think

Played Farnham today folks. Society outing and thought I did poorly with 31 points and about 5 blobs. Thoughts it was bad but the day was won with 33 so must have been tough for everyone despite the great weather.

Anyway they didn't have enough buggies for us so cut a long story short they gave my fourball a greenkeeper cart which took the four bags and actually great fun driving it around with 3 men squeezed into the seats and another sitting in the little dumper part with the bags.

As a favour to us the guy at Farnham (who needs to learn very little about customer service) has agreed to put 4 buggies aside for us. I know that isn't enough for everyone going but this means there are 3 buggies up for grabs (I'm taking one ) cost about 10 euro a buggy as I recall. If you want one let Steve know before the 15th so we can confirm with the course and if uptake isn't for the lot the shop can offer them back out.

therein lies the difference between Ireland and England. I would love to see the members faces if 4 irish lads bombed up the 18th fairway at Ormskirk Golf Club in that!

I would share with Bob. That way you will get your monies worth with all the extra mileage

Well if you take one on a motorway then what do you expect ?

I was referring to normal use on a golf course 😇
