    After seeing his score card I think a 5 shot penalty would be fairer to everyone else!!

    So what did "ye" make of course.

    Not even incognito in their Board's Shirts :o:o:):D:p

    Not a chance - No even bets been taken on mafc - he has had many rounds in low 70s there - and he is off some mad handicap for a golfer as good as him. :p

    27 - or something crazy like 36.

    There's no "ye" going around playing a pre game. Was me last 2 times with different playing partners both times. I was looking to play today as I can't play home club Thursday so why not play an open day somewhere else. Two birds with one stone. :):)

    So was I !! Apologies, I should have put in a few smiley faces but they never come out right when I post on my phone!!

    Lovely course, where did all the hills come out of though? I though the place was flat?!!! Great mixture of holes that reminded me of Naas and royal carlow.

    Can't wait to play it again!

    1st massive elevated tee box, you need a decent hit to get the the bottom, and from there a short par 5. Don't be right... trees

    2nd tight enough fairway, be straight and a decent tee shot will leave you a shortish iron in to elevated green

    3rd, short par 4 uphill, tight fairway again, got to be straight, slight left to right shape, not quite a dogleg

    4th, open longish par 4, could be anything from a 3 iron to a 7, depends on tee position and wind!

    5th, similar to first, big drop down to fairway below, keep it on the right side

    6th, back up the hill, keep left

    7th, keep well right, left will most likely find trouble, right might catch the hill and leave you with a short par 5

    8th, one of the harder holes, to fat right is big trouble, left is not good, really one you have to be straight on

    9th, short par 4, but again up a hill, keep left

    10th, slight dogleg left to right, if you are to straight you might run out of fairway and into trouble.. keep as left as you dare, but not easy with a tight tee box

    Cross the road... no more trees, now it's gorse!! lock the gates!

    11th par 3, probably longer than you think up the hill

    12th par 5, downhill, then back uphill, good hole but a pretty wide fairway,, probably right side give you a bit of room as there are a couple of trees if you are not long enough off the tee could interfere with your second shot

    13th another par 5, blind tee shot. keep well right. with your second shot, keep well right. did i say, keep well right????

    14th... nearest the pin. class par 3, down the hill

    back over the road... lock the gates behind you

    15th be brave, go hight and left over the trees to leave a short one in for your second. if you don't want to cut the corner, don't hit driver, you will be to long

    16th dinky little par 3, the shortest, but totally elevated green so you won't be able to see the cup, pin will be waiving at you though

    17th. a monster. par 4 where a 5 will be like gaining a shot on the field. keep left

    18th, probably Longest Drive, another slight dogleg, right to left, right side on this hole will have you looking in, left will have you in more trees!

    Guys, sure as hell I will forget to tell you next week, but there is very little out of bounds. If you are over a fence, it is not OB. climb over and play your ball as it lies. If the fence interferes, take relief, not nearer the hole, on the side of the fence your ball lies

    Hey Steve, I think there are a couple of holes where there will be a line of white stones (the far side of the fence) beyond which is OOB
