Irish Craic Classic 2015 Details And Deposits

[smange]

Following on from the original idea thread I have now confirmed details with the golf clubs and the hotel.

Plans are:

Golf

Friday 3rd July - meet at and play Seapoint G.C in Co. Louth, we have tee booked from mid-day.

http://www.seapointgolflinks.com


Saturday 4th July - play Headfort G.C Old Course

http://www.headfortgolfclub.ie/the-courses/old-course.asp


Sunday 5th July - play Headfort G.C New Course

http://www.headfortgolfclub.ie/the-courses/new-course.asp

So a bit of links golf and some parkland to keep everybody happy.



Accomodation

After Friday's game at Seapoint we have a drive into Kells to the Headfort Arms Hotel where we have 2 nights B&B with an evening meal included as well for the Saturday night.

Price

Total cost for the whole weekend (3 rounds of golf, 2 nights B&B and evening meal) is only €230, which at today's rate for anyone over the water thinking about maybe coming is approx £184.

Unbeatable value for three golf courses which always rank highly in the top 100 courses in Ireland as well as your accomodation.
.................................


The hotel (who the golf at Headfort is organised through) require a deposit of €50 per person by mid January so can I ask anyone who is planning on going to have this sent to me by the end of this year please so no big panic but feel free to pay it as soon as you want.

i would prefer if everyone had paid in full before the weekend as it is so much easier me just paying everything at once rather than trying to chase people up at the course, and I will, like last year, quite happily take your total cost in instalments between now and end of June and will keep an updated list on here of who has paid what so there is no confusion.

If there is anyone who only wants part of the weekend or golf only if you happen to live close enough or are organising your own accomodation please let me know and I will get you a price for what you need.

There will be a couple of us at least going down on the Thursday and playing somehwere near and staying down in the area so if anyone else wants to go a day earlier and join up for a game let me know and we will organise it a bit nearer the time. This is probably best suited for anyone coming from over the water as Gibbo and Phil done last year.

For anyone wishing to come along for a great weekend of golf and a laugh, get your name down and what you are interested in.

I will start us of.

Slight change of plans guys

Headfort G.C got back today to say we have to play the New Course on the Saturday and the Old Course on the sunday due to their club competitions.

So no biggie and doesn't affect the grand scheme of things.

Am strongly considering this as I can't make Birchy's Irish Jolly in June. Can't commit at the moment but will let you know in a few weeks if that's Ok.. Could also do with someone else to travel with to make the trip a bit cheaper..

I think there may well be a few guys coming over such is the cheapness of it all....and the characters, you haven't lived until you can tell your mates that you have met "the Bob".:rofl:

More than welcome mate and yep a few weeks is fine.

We had the dubious pleasure of Gibbos company this year as well as Fragger and im hoping they will make the journey again next year so at worst maybe you could organise something with them if no one else from your neck of the woods fancies it.

Im sure Gibbo and Fragger will also confirm that its a great weekend with a decent bunch of guys and if nothing else you get to meet the legend that is palindromicbob

Im not sure that's a great selling point though

I had a look too, flights are great from Speke, coming in at under £50. They want £100 to carry clubs though. If you can fit 2 sets into one carry case it wouldn't be too bad.

What about ferry from Holyhead to Dublin?

2 or 3 car sharing would spread the cost out and once you in Dublin its not far.

 

[G1BB0]

Not 100% yet, back to work on the 27th so will check out leave etc

 

[bluewolf]

In the past I've found the best price is from Holyhead to Dun Laoghaire.. Only a short drive from Dublin as well.. :thup:

You have to come again mate, you have a "trophy" to defend

I did Dublin to Holyhead this year and it was £120 for me and the car which really ain't bad, I didn't even book that far in advance either

Have been speaking to bayjon and can add his name to the list as well

1 Smange - 3 golf - 2 nights
2 Brendy - 3 golf - 2 nights (so far so good!)
3 PBob - 3 golf - 2nights
4 Bladeplayer- 2 golf -1 night (minimum at present cant commit to Friday yet)
5 LanDog- 3 golf 2 nights
6 Malek - 3 Golf 2 Nights
7 Bayjon - 2 golf - 1 night (minimum at minute as can't commit to the Sunday yet)

I know it's a long way off and difficult to completely commit but if anyone also fancies a game somewhere on the Thursday and staying down an extra night let me know and I can start looking at other courses in the area and also somewhere to stay that night.

How soon you willing to start holding cash for this Steve?

 

[smange]

How soon you willing to start holding cash for this Steve?

As soon as you like Bob Error.

Deposit is €50 but if you want to pay more now that's fine or you can spread the cost of the whole weekend out over a few payments.

I would like full payment from everyone by at least a week before the ICC as it is so much easier for me to work on the weekend not having to collect cash from people and just paying everything at once.
