Boards Golf Society - Turkey Shoot out - 21 November 09:56 @ Corballis Golf Links

Sorry Seve, I tried to decline on teamer but it wouldn't let me.

I'm still on the list there but I'm out as you know unfortunately.

Very sorry Seve but I won't be able to make it on Saturday.
Hope you get the weather as forecast for Saturday. I was really looking forward to playing corballis again especially on a day where you could stand up straight with a modicum of confidence

Did I get moved?

Edit : that's grand

so i'll leave you on the sheet yea?

Yes please

OK too far out to call.

BUt will be cold - so have your layer options available.

There is a near gale warning at moment, but with wind at present we will not know till things settle.

At least no rain yet.

Ok fix, time to start coming up with the goods.
A brief dos and donts on a hole by hole

Wonder if will be on the same page

1/ don't be long, you can get up and from most spots but the hill at the back

2/ chicken out and don't be tempted, depending on wind a 7 iron and wedge is enough. Long right or left off the tee is as dead as disco

3/ decision time, is it early enough in the round to be aggressive, it's all about the drive. you just gotta keep it between the dunes, I wouldnt be worried about distance off the tee, 3 hits to the green and two putts is a great score

4/ time for soft hands and a smooth tempo, I normally hit my 56 about 80%. Don't miss left

5/ what ever you hit 190/200 and straight. Tricky green, watch out for the pin position, two tiered and 3 putt very possible

6/ one more than 4

7/ don't be tempted. 7 iron to the marker and 9/pw in, if in doubt go long on the second, hard up and down if you miss short

8/ Driver at the little bunker with a little draw is good, tiger line is the waters edge with a fade. Often a blind second shot so walk up and have a look. Big green so you can be aggressive.

9/ only one way to play it, aim right to go left. 5 iron normal for me. Little drain at the back so don't be long

10/ 5 iron and no trouble.

11/ more decisions but play safe. 6 iron dead straight, maybe even 7. Easy big green, you cannot miss it long

12/ driver at the hut is good but a good drive a little right can be easily on. Safe route 4 iron//5iron/wedge and a chance at birdie

13/ close your eyes and hope your karma is good. Lap of the gods stuff. Extra underwear needed if you have a downhill putt.

14/ great hole, normally rescue and an 8 here for me. Tonnes of room on the left none on the right

15/ open your shoulders right or left of the bunker is good

16/ same as 15 but backwards, a little longer though. Tough green big slope

17/ designed by Helen Keller I believe. Not sure what to say ???

18/ 3 wood or rescue?? Just don't be right. Just left of centre is a great line in. Balls often come up short so give it enough club on the second shot, tough up and down if you miss right.

Hey, would a 4 hour round be within reason for a 4 ball in Corbalis?

The reason I am asking is I just remembered I have to back in Drogheda for 3 o clock on Saturday

Should be ok

Brilliant, thanks John.

Fix has gone very quiet, can you feel the panic setting in ????

Sorry Seve my guest cant make it I sent you a pm I dont mind switching times etc if that helps..

Seve, really sorry for this. My brother just got keys to his new house today (after months of delays) & I've been recruited in to help strip out the old kitchen on Saturday

Apologies for late notice & if it's causing issues with cash, etc let me know. Won't leave you caught short.

I know what I'd rather be doing

He beat me well there once, so I will listen to superior knowledge.

John - favourite now.

Ha ha, we have played here together a half dozen times and I only beat you once.
