    It's never too late ......but...... Unfortunately the last 4 events are marquee courses are heavily subsidised by the society so only members from the very start are eligible for the reduced green fee. You are most definitely welcome , as is anyone else, but the green fee will be slightly higher.

    All bar two of the top 10 have attended every outing thus far so I reckon it won't be until after the Killeen Castle outing that the picture will become clearer 😜

    You are right - as a top 3 has you in the mx.

    But points in the bag worth more than points in the future. ;)

    Well - -except your win in The Curragh.

    Just outside the top 10 now after my 2nd place at the weekend, great to see I'm back in the hunt after missing Naas and Tullamore, roll on The Curragh :)

    Well it's not quite the Claret Jug Rory McIlroy picked up last July when he won the British Open, but The Captains Prize in September is our Major and now we have our very own Claret Jug perpetual trophy.

    I must extend a very special thank you to Boards and Dav in particular, who have been very kind and generous to weigh in with some sponsorship towards this little beauty.

    Those of you who played last weekend will have seen it up close and personal. So come September, who will be the next to have their name engraved on Our Claret Jug?????

    OK, so I thought I'd have a little fun with this one. Every other year when the Ryder Cup is not being battled for at the end of September, The Europeans compete for the Seve Trophy. Well I thought that us golf nuts would like a little of both every September when we are winding up our very own Order of Merit, so now for the Golfer of the year, we have our very own Ryder Cup replica, The Seve OB Trophy (Complete with the engravers equivalent of a typo!:rolleyes:)
    As if points are hard enough fought for, now we might just see a royal battle on our hands by the time we get to Meath :D:p;):P:cool:

    Hey there Technodub, we are all playing great golf this year. take a picture of that Jug and frame it :D

    Mail sent ! Best to take it to email now if possible as i will be brutal at replying on this! What dates are the events you have left??


    Updated GOTY table guys and girls. The battle is beginning to heat up now for the Jug team spots. You would think the top 5 might be secure at this stage, but with 4 rounds still to play, there is still a lot to play for, so I wouldn't be counting your chickens just yet!

    Just looking at the table there, 2 of the top 10 are not playing this weekend but it will take a few strong results for them to drop to far.

    Going be a good run in!!

    well it was never going to last was it:rolleyes:.... congratulations to 3putt who with 3 great solid performances on the trot, makes the leap into first place. Myself and fix are hot on your heels so make sure you bring you c game to Killeen to give me a chance :D

    thinks are warming up nicely in the race for a jug spot also. few guys in there who have games in hand, and with 5 events already played, good perfermances can really seen them make strong moves up the table over the next 3 events

    my guess is that somewhere between 430 and 450 will be the requirement for a top 10 finish, so get practising guys... we need that jug back :)

    Very tight again this year (in fact much closer) - many ex players in top 10 again.

    Interesting stuff.

    But plenty to go. Anyone can get in top 10 yet.
