Kirkistown Castle Fri 23rd Dec (This Friday)

[Philm]

Anyone interested? 9.15 tee off.

myself and a few mates are planning to play and it would be good to put a few names to faces from on here!

just a friendly knock around before Christmas kicks off proper! anyone welcome but please register your interest here so i can keep an eye on numbers.

if it doesnt suit anyone then thats no bother!

i especially extend this invite to Brendy as he welcomed me to his course previously this year.

Way too far up for me mate but have fond memories of playing up there years ago . i remember an elevated green where was advised to leave my trolley at the bottom of the hill and bring up a wedge (In case) putter & driver for the next hole , am i remembering the right place ? my brothers inlaws are from Portavogie , or Portaferry the one on the penninsula side

Yeah something can be arranged for the week following I would have thought. Quite happy to see what happens and turn up.

Where abouts is Kirkistown? is it close to mahee island or ardminnan direction? we played ulster cup that way last 2 years.
I have heard good things.
Prehaps another time though, as I am nights on weds and thursday so will be out for a few zzzzz's friday morn, but then I am off for 12 days.

cheers

ok, well this friday is still a goer brendy, ill let you know price wise but its sub 30 for a round, 15/20ish at a guess but im just not sure. probably be four of us but there may be more, ill see if we get any last minute interest on here or at work.

and Chris if you or brendy want to suggest a course and a time for next week we can take it from there.

Well, I really have no great opinion on it always nice to play a different track. I also dont mind the travel either. Hmm guess I am sore from sitting on the fence

 

[brendy]

I think Friday is a goer, who all is going so far Phil?

 

[Philm]

me you, a fella from work called Eddie Abraham, who has recently joined Castlereagh hills and hopefully gareth again.

but there is a once a year golfer from worker who is threatening to play, but ill see what happens with that.

well i hope you can understand brendy, but

currently we have

Brendy 5
Phil M 16
Eddie A 18

Andy M 28
Steven A 18
Stuart B 18
Mark H 4

now those last 3 have all just replied in the last few minutes hence why i assumed that i was struggling to get 2 fourballs together and how now all of a sudden ive only one space left and im holding fire on it to give Gareth a chance to get back to me about playing.

so if you can possibly explain to your pals that some prat called phil is a bad organiser and its all his fault but we are pretty much out of room atm. they can be first reserve if Gareth cant play.

sorry

Phil
