Anyone going out before me at 10:50 that might be able to swap tee times? I'm ok to attend but a bit tight on time. Need to be home by around 3.30pm if possible.

Forgot that the Queen is out Friday night, I'll be on wake up duty Sat morning with the kids so could do with the extra time if you want to swap.

Sincere apologies Seve but I need to pull out - babysitter has cancelled on me

I've declined now on Teamer

FixdePitchmark · 25-06-2015 5:16pm

Been dying to see mafc play - to see what is holding him back.
We are thinking of having a shot at bar before we go out. :P

I'll be happy with 34. A top 10.

Lads - blessed with weather again.

Nice! Don't forget suncream guys.

Macker1 · 25-06-2015 11:00pm

Just back home after playing in the Thursday Open. Hadn't played the course in many years so took the opportunity to get out and get some much needed practice in.

If we do indeed get the weather we are in for a treat as the course is in great shape. Not very long but you will need your short game to be on song to score well.

No problems. I would like to think I have learned a few things today on what shots to take on and when to be a bit more strategic.

I badly need a morale boosting performance on Saturday so as to start climbing back into contention for a Ryder Jug spot.

deposit-- whatever you want to give

by the way lads, nice 2's pot... wasn't won last month

Mantis Toboggan · 26-06-2015 9:43pm

What's the deal with Cork Seve?

FixdePitchmark · 26-06-2015 10:06pm

Feel I could win this or come 25th.

With your game you should eat up this course. Its going to be all about hitting good short irons and nailing a few birdies or eagles. All the par 5's are quite accessible.

I would expect a score of around 43 pts will be the winner.

FixdePitchmark · 26-06-2015 10:59pm

Ah - only joking, feel it is a course that local knowledge is required.

Honestly think most courses like that need about 5 + games to get them and then even at that , it keeps giving after every game. A sign of a great course.

People may say - sure it is straight forward enough, but courses whit big rolls need you to understand them well.

Has to be one of the Kildare gang. Sure Kildare need to win something this weekend.

Just home too many pints ! Had a few extra shots ........
Can't wait to see who brings in 42 !

tigerwood1 · 26-06-2015 11:16pm

So what will be the outcome of a big day at the curragh tomorrow ?
Maybe the favourite fixit doubled up with jack hobbs for the win or will it be a fillie double up against the colts qualify and shaunac93 ? or maybe the return to form of the old timer macker:)(word is good from the gallops).

Watching it too - may get night cap.

Is it a poor enough line up this year - she is performing well in fairness.

She's performing great... She's been acting like she's a 70's hippie out her head since I turned it on.
Trying too hard Florence

Edit: To keep it on topic. Having a few cans watching Glastonbury too

couple of tasty bo bristle ipas last night.

Shorts on for first time this year. See yas there lads

Rikand · 27-06-2015 8:13am

Enjoy today everyone. Even if I wasn't heading to senior cup I wouldn't have been able to come. I got a bad auld kidney infection at the start of the week that has knocked the **** out of me. Tried swinging a club yesterday and it hurt like crazy lol.

Hopefully see ya'll at the next one

PARlance · 27-06-2015 10:17am

Lads, it's looking like Crumlin not the Curragh for me

Young lad split his lip and I had to do a U turn.

Seve, sent you a PM, havent got your mobile.

Seve OB · 27-06-2015 5:37pm

Lads, another great day out, well done to all the winners
i'll post the results up later on.

more no shows again today lads. to be honest, it's a bit of a sh1tty thing to do. fair enough if you have to cry off, make your excuses, but don't just not turn up.

Golfgraffix · 27-06-2015 6:00pm

Great day and as always good company.

The course was very easy so I expect some big scores.

My first time to play it and I quite enjoyed it. Had 39 that could have easily been 42 if I got my wedges closer. Had a nice eagle on the index 2 par 5 though.

Fix tells me my long drive on 18 didn't hold up, you know its not your day when 306 gets beaten !!!

Great just to turn up and play, thanks Seve and all for the organisation.

Oh and under 4 hours ! 3 balls rock !

FixdePitchmark · 27-06-2015 7:49pm

Hit Glastonbury too hard last night. So, off to a bad start in the usual tradition.

Had a class day with mafc and The Champ . Was nice to have local knowledge and to watch The Champ bomb it.
I love courses that are a little different - can see it played easy today and Macker was spot on that a 42/43 was there. Even if Macker spoke the word that can not be spoken after "b

"

Mafc looked like he had another appointment after, I played as slow as I could to wind him up more. Good laugh all round. You can see mafc has that deadly short game I wish I had.

Class long drive to take 306 yards- how far past did it get lads ?

I had a great round on the go - but after hitting some of my best shots of the day - I 3 putted twice, in fairness, only thing I did wrong all day on greens. Never got that 2nd or 3rd bird needed to win one of these.

Still, I won a pink purse, a Dunlop golf set , 54 euro for 1/2 the 2s and won at losing on the back nine again.

A few of us hung around after - nice to get to know a bit more about people. People are looking forward to the Jug and the drinks in Cork (big time)- and we chatted about how hard it is for Seve to pair people, as let us be honest - we don't know each other that well as a team.

Seve - as everything has been planed so well so far , will do another great job.

Tiger enjoyed his few pints , he loves winning.

Not sure If I'll be at summer events - work has me this time. But, never say never.

Catch all again soon - Glastonbury on the way.

Today was a day for the old guard - to show the new guard , we are not gone away yet.

FixdePitchmark · 27-06-2015 8:21pm

Also - Tiger would have given the real Tiger a good game.

"Is it true you always wanted to touch one of Rory's balls Tiger ?" :P

OffalyMedic · 27-06-2015 9:51pm

Thanks again to seve and the organising committee for the fabulous day out as always.

My day started off with a lovely sausage sandwich which I finished at 9.24 in birr only to realise I was meant to meet CharlieIRL in a town half an hour away at 9.20 oops my bad!! Missed having banter in car and sitting shotgun for first time ever. Away got in my car and pulled into curragh at 10.31 (thank God guards don't go on back roads much anymore)

Had a very enjoyable round with macker and roadrunner. Myself and mackerel played some good golf most of the way round almost point for point but unfortunately a couple of bad shots mainly putts around 15,16,17 kinda ruined what could have been good scorecards. Roadrunner didn't have a great day today unfortunately, his bad shot decided to come out of hibernation. He got the shot shape working in his favour a bit on back but there was a sense of too little too late, some nice shots played though and plenty of potiential ( especially after the lesson from fixed and myself in the club house)

I was happy enough with most of my game today although took after my fellow county man and Had a cold day with putter. How I didn't break it or throw it away after 3putting the 16th from inside 8ft I'll never know. Anyway things can only get better.

Positives were my iron play was decent although need to figure out distances with new swing. And I think that's the most points I had in a boards outing. Just warming up for the big 3

Course was is great condition and lovely to play. Will defo be back again. Look forward to the next outing already...anyone want to play practise round??

tigerwood1 · 28-06-2015 12:05am

Sometimes it's fun to be on the lossing side of bet and i was only to happy to hand charlie his 2euro after i wrongly predicted the winning score 38pts or less, little did i think i would beat it by four. did'nt think i would be on the winners podium today but there you go thats golf for ya. what a great day hit the driver really well today think i only had 2 pars and one birdie but made some great saves for no worse that bogie on all but one hole;).

Started the day in two ball with ballyk(hope all ok parlance) but merged with karl and pat to make fourball after fourth. Great longest drive by karl at the last.
Being a local course i was able to hang on and have a few bulmers(mrs collecting me) and really enjoyed the chat with fixthepitchmark, princess poppy and recycled who fair play to him hung on to the end even with a two and half hour drive ahead of him (reckon we should have a prize for the most miles travelled for the year:)).

Finished off the a great day with a barberque and few more bulmers and hopefully inside the top ten for the jug, was delighted to receive golf ball used by rory will be going on the mantlepiece covered by perspec.

A big thank you to seve for his hard work and dedecation to make this society the success it is today.

I'll take some credit for changing the sequence of events and getting you the win Tiger

Sorry for the inconvenience lads, turned out it was just a little nick but was hard to tell with all the blood. He's only gone 1 but I'll be sure to hold it against the little bugger all his life

bobster453 · 28-06-2015 12:52am

What a great day that was, fine course, fine weather, fine company.Thankfully had the young lad to caddy for me, leg feeling the best it has in months after a round(tho taking ibuprofen and paracetemol before playing defo helped too...hope we dont ever have drug testing or I will be f***ed now I have found the elixir of life

Had the pleasure of playing with spacecoyote and keano, two sound lads, myself and space played okayish, keano's game was left at home but still good craic around.
Scored 33pts, 17 front 16 back, chipping and putting was good, well the long putts were, started second guessing with the short ones and pulled a few because of it, still at my level anyday I can go around a strange course in 30+ points is good for me.
Thanks again to Seve and the committee for organising another great day out and well done to Tiger...again..dont ya just hate it when someone with 42 points starts telling ya about the ones they left behind..haha
Cheers all, see yez next month.

In fairness Seve it had to be said, from experience I know the amount of work that goes into organising a day like this, mostly all behind the scenes where nobody ever looks, and all we have to do is either turn up or give a heads up if we cant, not just is it a sh1tty thing to do but it the height of disrepect to the Captain and the committee and people would want to cop on and either decide to do the right thing or just dont join..simples.
