Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue.

Boards.ie Golf Society - Captains Prize, 19th Sept, 2pm, Fota Island, Deerpark Course
-
28-08-2015 12:35pm#1Well it's hard to believe how quick that year has flown by and now here we are at the final event, the Captains Prize, my Captains Prize and a day I am very much looking forward to. The last time I was at Fota Island I was dressed along with my wife and kids like a packet of liquorice allsorts! I have never played the course there, but having stayed in the hotel a few years ago and from walking around the place at the Irish Open last year I know we are in for a special day out.
Yet again, with thanks to NRC Taxis, the outing will be subsidised as the previous 2 have been. It will be €45 for members who have played at least 3 of the first 6 events this year & other Members will pay €50, plus of course the €2.00 if you want to enter the 2's club.
Now for the difficult bit. As you all know, outing numbers have been up significantly this year on previous years. As bookings were initially made based on last years numbers it has led to a few hiccups, all of which we managed to overcome so far. We initially booked Fota for 28 players and were given 7 slots on the tee for 1 hour. I have been in touch with Fota to increase the numbers but unfortunately they are booked out for that day. However they do feel we will get 32 out in the time we have been allocated and will also keep in touch if their other bookings change. We might therefore be given some extra spots at some stage between now and the 19th, but we equally may not. So that means 2 things.
Teamer notifications were sent out a few weeks ago now and not everyone has replied as of yet, but we currently have 33 players booked in, so I am asking if there is anyone who is not 100% committed to attending, to let me know. Worst case scenario is that one person who has booked in will not be able to play on the day, a scenario that I have been dreading and really hope does not happen. One person from the 33 and anybody who accepts Teamer messages from here on in will be put on a standby list, and will only get a game on the day if Fota come up with some last minute spots for us.
As they are happy to let 32 out in the time it would normally take 28 to tee off, I am asking everyone to be on their best behaviour and be there well in advance of your tee time and not to delay in teeing off. If we can all get off the first tee nice and quick it should ensure that all 32 players get off in our allotted time.
I can only hope that Fota can come up trumps for us and that this situation does not detract from the day or the year overall.
I'll sign off now and await the backlash

I'm wondering where you are going to keep your ball marker !!0 -
oK that was too much of an in joke.
Do they have burgers - even a chicken curry ?
Joking aside - is it 4 balls lads.
I guess - you know who you are out with by looking at table - handy you are leading in a way Seve.
Looking forward to all this - as basically working flat out every day at moment.0 -

Only joking, it's the River Lee. Pm seve as he's getting a deal on the rooms.
Only thing - if you do get a boat , we couldn't be in a better place for you , could also sail to Fota.
Sorry - long day
Mayo draw, what the hell was that all about.
Hope for anyone far behind in Jug - never give up.0 -

Well just ten days of prep left now guys. Who is wore out with practice? Who feels confident? I'm starting to think of the Team now, doing pairings, maybe even a bit of practice somewhere? Who is in, who is out and who is on the fence
I've no golf this week till Sat and probably wont hit any balls from then till we reach Fota.
I hope the Cork lads and lassies have a good nights entertainment planned for us 0 -

Got all my bad golf out of the way last sunday and loads of practice between now and next weekend, hope the weather is as kind as it has been all year.
I bumped into an old school buddy the other day who just happens to be a member there
Actually, open comp on there today.... we missed that opportunity 0 -
Here we go. I crunched a few numbers and it looks like if I can find a win in Fota and Seve finishes no better that 14th, 3put no better than 6th and RoadRunner no better than 8th then I have a chance. I only had the energy to the math on the top 3.
Outside bet on Tigerwoods. Looks like we'll be playing together again. Previous two outings together he's finished 1st and 6th so you never know.
So what's the plan Seve? All out aggression and go for the win or play cagey and try not throw it away 0 -

I go for everything, especially when things are difficult, then just go harder!0 -

If plans change between now and Fota I might put my hand up for a pick if allowed!
okie dokie, I'll keep you in mind so and won't rule you out just yet 0 -

So for me if i win i need these guys to be no better than
Seve 12th, 3Putt 6th, Roadrunner 6th, Keano 4th, Charlie 4th, Fix 2nd, DoubleCross can’t catch me if i win, Tigerwood1 2nd.
Its all to play for but if you cannot get to 637 by winning you can't win GOTY as that is the worst case scenario for Seve even if he doesn’t turn up.
I see an error on roadrunners but I am sure you can do the math

It's well for you lads working out permutations about winning, the rest of us have enough to do just to qualify for the team! 0 -

desperate times call for desperate measures! my putting has been woeful over the last couple of weeks, so I'm hoping between this new purchase on adverts and some practice between now and next week and I'll be able shoot a good score and make it into the top 10 0
