DonkeyPokerTour · 19-02-2009 12:02am

Looking for a game on Monday next 23rd of Feb, would rather play a different course than Wicklow for a change, however if anyone wants to play Wicklow with me its 15euro and the time sheet is completely free.

Let me know

there is a slot at 12.40 but we need 4 . comp finishes at 1.30 if you want to go out after that for a 2 ball .

BUACHAILL · 19-02-2009 8:57pm

i'm a member so 20 euro

BUACHAILL · 19-02-2009 9:12pm

Sounds good to me, I just dont think I could make it to Arklow before that time considering I am coming from Foregolf in Naas.

I am good for the 2 ball George67 , if u get players for the team event earlier no sweat.

Anyone up for tomorrow? Buachaill you still available?

Cheers
Ian

uberwolf · 23-02-2009 8:42pm

There's a semi open every Tuesday in my place (Killeen), I think it's 18 holes.

I need to get a game or two in before Vilamoura in a fortnight, so I reckon I'll be in Killeen on the 30th, aiming for an early start (8.30 / 9 ish).

Anyone interested?

BUACHAILL · 23-02-2009 8:50pm

might be interested, will know for sure come closer the time. I take it u mean Tuesday the 3rd March ???

uberwolf · 23-02-2009 9:12pm

oh yeah

I took 23 and added 7, with complete disregard for the calendar

JCDUB · 23-02-2009 9:13pm

Lads I reckon I'm gonna play the singles open in Castleknock tomorrow around lunchtime, €30 for non-members.

Dunno what the craic is with availability but I'm sure we'd get a line around that time if we get three of us.

It's a good course.

Problem is I won't know til maybe 10/11 in the morning, but right now I'd say I'm in.

Any takers?

Buachaill??
Chance to win your two euro back??:D:D

BUACHAILL · 23-02-2009 9:19pm

did I just read someone throwing down a gauntlet ?? ha ha love it JCDUB

Im afraid I cannot make it tomorrow have a bit to do..... and to be honest I have played a lot of golf last 2 weeks and feel like I am actually going backwards at this stage and getting really frustrated with myself so maybe a few days off will do me some good.

Dont worry though I only gave u a lend of the two euro ....ha

I'm out, can't take the time off work.

kingshankly · 01-03-2009 12:00pm

anyone intrested in a game this week im off for the week was thinking of heading to castleknock for its open week tuesday theres a fourball better ball and on friday a 3 ball scramble,theres also a couple of singles.something for everyone as the fella would say

BUACHAILL · 01-03-2009 12:37pm

oh yes I could very well be persuaded !!
Had a muck game yesterday looking to forget about

JCDUB · 02-03-2009 1:05am

Nice work lads, you'll enjoy Castleknock.

Played it last Tuesday avo, greens weren't great, they had been sanded, I'd imagine they'll be much better by this week though.

All in all definitely worth a visit though, it's not short either, although I don't hit the ball a million miles by any stretch.

I played ****e and had an embarrassing 26 pts I think, stopped counting around the 12th I reckon.

Kilkenny golf club is only about a handy par 5 away from my house but I can't play in the morning... kids, swimming, etc.
Nice course though, enjoy it.

Thanks Licksy, i played it once last summer and really liked it, I'm a member in Comer so Kilkenny is a pleasant change from the "mountaineering" I am used to...........

The offer still stands for anyone else interested

charlieIRL · 02-04-2009 3:31pm

very very short notice, but with that fine evening and me having the clubs in the car i'm heading off for a game now.

Where to go to though! Tullamore / Esker Hills / Moate or Mount Temple

Leaving around 4-ish.

conno16 · 15-04-2009 2:03pm

anyone on for a game in the greater dublin area this weekend?
PM if ur interested
was thinking about maybe playing in wicklow somewhere

Mr. Larson · 22-04-2009 11:16am

Short notice, but does anyone fancy playing in an 18 hole scotch foursome (every second shot) open competition tomorrow evening in Wicklow? Was thinking around 4 or 5 in the evening?

PM if interested?

PhilipMarlowe · 22-04-2009 11:14pm

Both players take tee shots in Scotch Foursomes, you chose one and then it's every second shot as far as I remember...

Is it better known as a Scramble?

Mister Sifter · 22-04-2009 11:34pm

Scotch foursomes is shot about. One person drives, the partner plays the second and so on. Sometimes it can be played as proper shot about too though i.e. the person who holes out on the previous hole doesn't drive on the next.

DonkeyPokerTour · 22-04-2009 11:38pm

Wicklow GC's definition of scotch foresomes is Both players drive, they choose the best ball, then the other player plays the next shot.

I.e. A & B drive. They choose A's drive so B takes the 2nd shot, A the third etc.

PhilipMarlowe · 22-04-2009 11:43pm

I thought that Foresomes is alternate shot.... I drive on the odd numbered holes, we take every second shot and You drive on the even numbered holes etc...
I've played Scotch Foresomes at my club and we both drove off every hole, selected the best drive and then play alternate shots from there.

A scramble is where you might have a team of 3 or 4 and each player drives... you chose the best one and then each player plays from that spot etc etc. So chances are that you will drive to the fairway, hit the green and have 3 or 4 chance of making a putt... one of the rare occasions that you get to fill out a decent scorecard!
Sometimes there will be conditions like you each must have 3 drives to count etc...

PhilipMarlowe · 22-04-2009 11:45pm

Exactly the same...

Anyone fancy a round at Moyvalley tomorrow afternoon at about 3pm

PhilipMarlowe · 24-04-2009 9:54am

I know that the GUI site has a page for Open Fixtures at http://www.gui.ie/open_fixtures.asp

Some clubs have certain days that they may run Open competitions (weekly or monthly, particularly for the summer) but may not be listed on that site. Even if they are listed and you know of an upcoming Open Event that would be good value to readers on here, post up a few basic details so that we can have a look... just don't pimp your own club to death etc. or it will be have to be deleted.

Trampas · 24-04-2009 11:13am

Great thread idea Licksey

Miley Byrne · 24-04-2009 11:15am

There is also a Junior & Intermediate tournament in July. (on separate weeks) Check their website for details but basically its 36 hole stroke qualifyer played over two days with the top 16 to qualify. And then 4 rounds of matchplay over the weekend. €100 entry including lunch or brekkie.

'scorthy · 24-04-2009 3:35pm

Yeah Licksy..great thread idea.
For my friends on the boards.ie who may be interested there are two full (4ball s/f max h/c 20) slots vacant as I type for Enniscorthy at 13.50 and 14.50 at €20 a man.

For full list of upcoming Opens:

Enjoy!

PhilipMarlowe · 24-04-2009 5:50pm

I haven't played Enniscorthy but I have caddied for Inter-club (provincial towns) down there. It's a fine course and a nice bunch of lads (we've met them a few times in different competitions). They were working on a couple of new holes when I was there last... how did they turn out?

'scorthy · 24-04-2009 11:44pm

LICSKY,

the two new holes have not been in play since last year. I cannot comment on why they are not be in play or whether they will be in the near future but the course as it stands is challenging enough.
Is Enniscorthy special in that it seems to have an inordinate amount of Open Events? Courtown, down the road is invitational "open " fourball. I'd love tro play these courses but they appear to be restrictive...but that's another thread.

Your always welcome in Eniniscorthy.

soundsham · 25-04-2009 2:12pm

heres some for cork for the summer season

open singles every mon in lee valley
open singles every mon in blarney begins after may weekend
open singles every tues in muskerry begins after may weekend
open singles every wed in mallow check maybe thurs
open singles every thurs in bandon

all around the €20-25 mark think the lee valley one may be dearer but include grub

'scorthy · 27-04-2009 1:21pm

To help teams survive, Enniscorthy are having a monster open team of 4 Sat & Sun of the Whit weekend. Team of visitors €80; tons of prizes. If you're interest phone the office 0539233191.

I wish! I played there on Monday for the first time. It's a lovely course, wonderful facilities (except perhaps for the lukewarm to cold showers :mad:)
