I'm declaring for..... the non-Dubs of course!

Great idea Golfgraffix and it'll be good practice for next year's War on the Shore, sorry I mean next year's Ryder Jug!

I would be interested in joining the boards golf society for 2016. How do I go about this eg. pay membership fee, put my name down on the time sheet, any information on this would be great. I am trying to get back into golf and play more often so am looking to get out a lot more next year, I am currently a member of a works golf society but have only played a handful of times with them this year, so I would have a society handicap but don't have a GUI handicap. Any information on this would be great.

I would - political correctness is gone nuts.

Everyone in kerry refers to someone from Dublin as a Jackeen.

Hiya
Check earlier post from SeveOB in this thread re how to go about joining and rules etc.
Best craic ever, great people, who pretend winning isnt everything

Simply the best decision I ever made in golf was joining this illustrious motley crew, when one day is over already waiting impatiently for the next one
Do It, you will really enjoy it.

In our club we have a Tipperary v offaly competition and both teams have their players with other blow-ins to the county filling the gaps....great day in the club with all the players wearing jerseys/colours....I realise that there are prob no outsiders to fill gaps if numbers don't match but maybe the confused with a leg in each team could be used to even up teams....though job u got yourself into John!

Hi All

I thought I would get this done as early as possible, most clubs are putting up their prices next year and in some cases by up to 30%, so best to get in early.

Before I get to the fixture list I would like to thank Seve and the commitee for the great year we had this year, its takes a lot of work behind the scenes to have it run as smooth as it did. I would also like to thank the guys at mygolfsociety for their help in getting the best prices possible, combined with our contacts I think we have managed to get some great rates at some of the best courses around.

So here is the list, its not 100% set in stone so if the majority want some changes we can review the list but as it stands it offers a great variety in location and course style.

We were very aware that this year some of the guys travelled great distances to attend and with this in mind we have spread the courses out a little more.

I will confirm exact prices later.

January 16th
Rathcore
Internal Ryder Jug
Dubs V's Non Dubs (I could use another term here !)
This is just an idea at this stage but it should be fun and good pratcice to get the real Jug back

Febraury 20th
Portmarnock Links (time to be confirmed)

March 19th
Bunclody Golf & Fishing Club

April 23rd
The Heritage

May 21st
New Forest

June 18th
Powerscourt East

July 23rd
Castlemartyr Golf Club

August 20th
Headford New

September 17th
Galway Bay TBC
Captains Day

Please do let me know your thoughts.

J

Great list -

Headfort sticks out after playing it this year, a real hidden jem.

Galway should be great craic, its on my list of courses to play.

Tiger had recommended a few of the other courses to play, you have a good mix.

I'm looking forward to playing Castlemartyr course
( I can have breakfast at 9am instead of 7am).

Good luck in 2016 I hope you have a blast.

24-10-2015 4:08pm

looking forward to getting out playing next year signed up this year and never made it out,

golfrules · 24-10-2015 4:29pm

Hi am considering joining. Just wondering di many females play. Are the tee times very early, as someone else said, unsuccessful in beating the Dubs on the GAA front. it would be nice to have a crack at beating them in this (no offence meant). How is time sheet operated or do you do a draw. Many thanks

The Railway Cup is still going on. Although it's not on paddys day anymore seen as they play the club finals that day. Think they have been trying to revitalise it for a few years. There were talks of it being held in all sorts of weird places like Texas and Abu Dhabi.

Great list of courses as always. Best of look for the year J. Hopefully will grow some more again this year.

Yes we had 2 regular females this year and it would be great to get a few more involved.

Timesheet is drawn up ahead of time, early or late slots can be requested and will be facilitated on a first asked basis. Generally try and get people playing with different people each outing so that we can all get go know each other a bit.

Give it a shot. I spent a year 'considering' whether or not to join up, should have just done it. It's a relaxed and enthusiastic group of golfers of all levels, all of who are "'there to play'" it's not about the winning - yeah right ðŸ˜œ

Ben1977 · 25-10-2015 8:44pm

Great line up for next year captain. Hoping to get to more then 3 events next year. Good luck with your year

paulos53 · 26-10-2015 4:09pm

Looking at the course list again a lot of travel is required for us Cork lads.

It seems as if the trips are getting longer every year so out of interest I worked out the average round trip since I joined in 2013

2013: 2 hours 46 minutes round trip based on times from Google Maps
2014: 3 hours 10 minutes
2015: 3 hours 28 minutes
2016: 3 hours 56 minutes

The trips are even longer for the likes of recycled who has an extra 50-60 minutes when traveling up the country.

Golfgraffix · 26-10-2015 4:18pm

It is so hard to balance good courses, new courses and the traveling.

I thought that this year there was a more even spread.

One South, one South East, one north (ish), one west and one Midlands.

I guess portmarnock and powerscourt are awkward.

New forest is almost Midlands

We have time to change a venue or two if the consensus is for it.

Benny79 - Is a 100% Dub and so is most the Don't know list Seve. So I doubt we will be short numbers.

I just like to state can the Boggers not use the word Jackeen, Its All Ireland Champions to yeee....;)

) and in places outside of croke park i doubt ye would be :P

Jaysus - that is all a bit handbags boys and girls.

I actually like the sound of The Boggers verus Jackeens Cup.

No harm taking on PC now and again.

Fair play Paulo that was a fair bit of effort to work that out, never mind the actual driving.

To offer an opinion.
The typical location of outings will be based on where captain is from.

The last 3 captains have been based in midlands/Dub - so this is unusual and you will imagine looking at the areas people are from Munster will get a good run at some stage ?

I guess it is just a reality that dubs have great personalities and are leaders - joking man.

Point well made. Fair play to the lads who have made it from Cork etc.

But- you'd imagine it will swing the other way in next few years.
