Carrick on Suir has Open Singles every Thursday. The greens there at the moment are some of the best in the country. There is also a 3 Course offer in the South East for Faithlegg, Waterford Castle and Mount Juliet. They were doing all three for 175 Euro last year. Not Open events, but just opportunities to play three of the best courses in the South East.

yeah cool. I'm usually up for a game so just give me a shout. Will be heading out either tomorrow or wednesday for 9 holes or more if anyones interested?

I could commit to 6.30 or 6.45 as I'm kinda busy in work this week (could be earlier but I can't say for sure so I'll play it safe)

Dylan69, no prob just give me a shout anytime.

Pauliee · 15-06-2009 9:09pm

grand, tomorrow or Wednesday fine for me. Let me know

Miley Byrne · 16-06-2009 9:06am

Dylan69 the green fees are €45 with a member (usually €90). Not sure what the 9 hole rate is.
Not the cheapest but certainly a challenge and a beautiful course.

Myself and Pauliee played yesterday evening, so I won't get a chance to go out until next week now...

Dylan69 · 17-06-2009 2:15pm

€45 for that course, it's pretty reasonable...probably next week or two weeks time!!! if 9 holes are pretty the same rate then if i can get out at 6.30pm i shd get at least 13-15 holes without a buggy on a evening

thanks

DonkeyPokerTour · 18-06-2009 9:23am

JohnHenry · 30-06-2009 2:09pm

Played cobh last fri jason,
£20 euro for the round, good value. Obviously its a brand new course, so some things were not spot on but it has potential. Have to say that they have it set up really poorly though, specifically the rough (or hay or sillage), whatever you would like to call it. the ground is pretty hard at the moment and unless you hit a perfect driver down the middle of the fairway, dead straight, chances are your ball will roll through the fairway, one cut of pretty short rough( bout 5 yards) and into the long stuff. and I mean long stuff(no chance of finding balls in it). Play was way to slow because people were flat out trying to find balls, and 1 guy playing with me must have lost 8-9 balls. They really need to look at changing the way they set that up, maybe 2 or 3 cuts before you reach the hay!!!
its not very long, but its got some greens with some big borrows on them and there are some really nice par 3's, including the island green.personally, i wont be heading back there this summer but will be interested in the progress by next year

poster · 30-06-2009 3:31pm

Anyone fancy a game in Moyvalley this Thursday or friday flexible on time, give me a shout, high hanidcap here

Jasonw · 30-06-2009 4:18pm

Yeah The rough is being worked on. I was out there last night and the strip of really thick stuff is getting narrower all the time. went around 3 over even with doubles at 5 and 17. It really is too short off the yellows though. I'm looking forward to the bunkers being in play and the greens getting a good bit quicker.

Daddy2005 · 30-06-2009 4:19pm

Any open days happening on this Friday coming in the north wicklow area???:)

irishtoffee · 30-06-2009 5:07pm

Just wondering how a 4ball works. As in how it is scored. How long it takes ect. Cheers

soundsham · 01-07-2009 9:33pm

4 guys tee off 2 players on each team
ie a+b play against c+d and every other pairing
handicaps are reduced by 1/4
so if you are normally off 20 its reduced to 15 if your normally off 10 it is reduced to 7.5 which is 8 for the fourball
both you and your partner play your own ball on every hole same as in singles, and mark down the best stableford score achieved by either of ye on each hole,thats pretty much it......i think

PhilipMarlowe · 01-07-2009 11:46pm

Yes, Fourball is sometimes called Fourball Betterball. You count the best (stableford) score from the two players on each hole and you each play off 3/4 handicap. Write down the stroke on the card in the column for the player that got that score.... Say I'm playing with you and you have a shot on the first... we both par it so the par goes under your name for 3 points.
You tee off in 4's (another pair marks your card). Can be a slowish due to playing in groups of 4 but shouldn't necessarily be so. Sometimes you will be out of the hole and your partner is left to fend for himself... sometimes you will tap in a short putt which gives your partner a 'free' chance to go one better so tactics can come into it too.

Then to confuse you, you can also play Fourball Matchplay which is 2 versus 2. The lowest handicap player plays off 0 (scratch) and the rest of the players play of 3/4 of the difference in handicaps.... Say lowest is 4, then 8, 14 & 18.
The 4 handicapper plays off 0.
The 8 plays off (8-4)=4 x 0.75 = 3.
The 14 plays off (14-4)=10 x 0.75 = 7.5 (8)
The 18 plays off (18-4)=14 x 0.75 = 10.5 (11)

You then have holes won, halved & lost until you have an outcome.

DonkeyPokerTour · 02-07-2009 3:00pm

Anyone available tomorrow for to play in a 4man stableford team event? 4man teams 2 scores on each hole. Lovely course and some great prizes (fabulous BBQ's must be 400quids worth).

My time is 10.00 but pritty much any time before 12 is available? Anyone able to play, its in Blainerow. Co. Wicklow and its €60.

Regards
Ian

Pauliee · 02-07-2009 10:36pm
