    Hey Fix any chance of a course guide? as the one I found I think is a bit outdated and to be fair it is a course you need to have some idea what your doing!

    I do recall the last time I played it there was one hole I hit a 9I off tee to a blind landing zone than a 5I to green :)

    Thanks to the Big Easy that day who was my course guide! :D

    Only 2 minutes up road , you can see it on the 16th Tee.

    Would it be cheeky to bring a second guest?

    I went there for something to eat on a Saturday during the summer and was not impressed at all. Over priced and poncey. Ordered a burger and chips- skinny chips with skins still on, overcooked and tasteless, and a burger that all kinds of weird s*** on it- tasted awful. Also made no attempt to provide child appropriate meals. Not an issue for our group but says everything about the establishment.

    Views are nice though :D

    Well, sounds perfect if they couldn't handle kids or skinny chips .

    Poncy in Donabate - :D

    I'll look around - but , this place is the real outpost of Dublin.

    There is probably something decent in village -will check out.

    Make sure there are child seats and skinny chips :D

    I'm not playing, however keelings lounge in the village is a good spot for a crowd, it's big, serves decent food....views aren't great...but Portrane is just down the road if people step out of line. I'd say they could reserve a few tables up the back....best place for yis 😜

    Unfortunately I have to pull out of this. Was really looking forward to a bracing day by the sea :)

    Was already going to be tight with a stag in Mayo on the same day but tried to play this morning for the first time in over a month and only lasted four and a half holes before the pain was too much. Hopefully haven't set back the recovery too much but fear I may have :(

    On the bright side it's not the worst time of year to be forced into a prolonged break. Enjoy everyone! Corballis is always a treat :)

    Also it's not my drinking hand so should be alright for Mayo :D

    Hopefully catch you all next year at some stage :)

    Looking forward to this, haven't played in a while, was going to play Friday but work got in the way.

    Was thinking of only bringing a 7 iron and Putter

    It is an interesting idea for that course - would be perfect for a 1 club challenge.

    Like many lads would score better with 1 club.

    With a 7 iron , you would have problems on - only

    4
    6
    8
    9
    14


    You couldn't reach 15 or 16 or 18 in regulation.

    BUt after all that , many players would score better.

    4 - Yes would have to be low knock down into the short grass before the green
    6 - Not sure, maybe a full swing 3/4 down the shaft.
    8 - 3 shots to the green, I think i have a shot there.
    9 - Hardest of the lot, will need one of your fast hands and low shots
    14 - Two 7 irons should do it, no ?


    You couldn't reach 15 or 16 agreed but should be able to get on 18 in regulation.

    Decision made, only two clubs for me.

    :rolleyes::rolleyes::D

    I think for another day.

    But , agree it has potential.

    I honestly think I could get around in under 85 with 1 club.
    Under 80 if all went right.
    Maybe - :D

    OK, so whatever I just clicked on Teamer seems to have reset everything!!!
    Sorry about that.

    There were 30 accepted a few minutes ago. :eek:

    We also have 3 guests coming who are not on teamer.

    No need to re-accept, I have yis all down as you can see, unless you name is not on the list above of course and you want to attend, there is still space.

    Open to non members of the society also, so you are more than welcome to come along.
