    The weather forecast last night said that Saturday morning could actually be quite nice ... just before it turns horrendous.


  • Subscribers Posts: 4,419 ✭✭✭PhilipMarlowe


    Ireland, 40 shades of green but over 4,000 shades of grey ;)

    Forecast for local area is quite good in the morning. If anyone fancy's a game 2 spots still available, one provisionally reserved for 1stuey1.

    If anyone wants to play and is travelling I can ring them at what ever time they require to let them know current weather, and whether will play or not.

    holy siht that was some wind and rain today the last seven or eight holes were played in horrendous conditions balls oscillating on the green.thought i would never get to the sanctuary of the clubhouse.would like to confirm headford was in great condition no temporary greens but a few temp tee boxes


  • Registered Users Posts: 876 ✭✭✭DonkeyPokerTour


    Got out and around for 14 holes today, some good holes but too many scratches! Problems seem to be still there with my Irons. Hitting my woods from tee and deck quite well but my iron game is not quite right. Need to spend more time on them.

    We could have played the last 4 holes but decided against it as the wind was starting to pick up and we knew the wind was close behind.

    Poor players who were playing on sponsors day got destroyed!

    Regards
    Ian

    (P.s. Invitation open for 8.50am next Saturday, again weather permitting)

    Cool lads, we can say week commencing 26th, another one would make a fourball, and if there's more no hassle, we can arrange it.
    Just thinking, on Wednesdays there's a semi open comp, 12 holes singles s'ford, so if you have GUI handicaps we could play this??Only 12 euros..
    Otherwise we can just arrange a day that suits us all..

    Whatever you want, I'm easy.

    Will play in most weather once its not a storm, Anybody interested let me know, would also be interested in Forest Little offer if its available.

    Locations for me would be , Wicklow , Dublin , Kildare pretty much available most days.

    Cheers
    Bum


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,225 ✭✭✭JCDUB


    Alright lads so far we have the following:

    KingShankly
    DonkeyPokerTour
    BUACHAILL
    Poster
    WillyWonka
    Me

    So we're looking good for two three balls there, if two more wanna add their name we can make it two four balls.First two to add their names are in.

    Week commencing 26th Jan, am thinking Tuesday 27th as its ladies day so there'll be very little traffic out there.

    Who's travelling from where?
    Would ideally like to wait until the morning we're playing to make sure place isn't frosted off, then again if that's not possible because people are travelling we can rely on the trusty weather forecast:rolleyes:

    So post here to say if the day suits (was thinking around 11-12 bells to give people time to get there from wherever they are coming) and we can try to make a concrete arrangement.

    BTW course will be on full greens (in very good shape), placing everywhere and mats on all tee boxes, should be enjoyable if the weather isn't too cold.

    Great stuff, was going to suggest Tuesday actually :). I'm travelling from Wicklow Town, and need to figure out how I'm going to get there considering I have about as good a sense of direction as a blind rabbit!

    2 things, Can I suggest we move this to E-mail since there might be alot of posts, my e-mail address is info@donkeypokertour.org and my mobile number is 087-2220330 so if anyone needs to contact me feel free (dont worry I run a poker business in my spare time so my mobile number is already on the internet in many places).

    Also can I suggest we try and stagger the handicaps as best as possible, i.e. the two lowest on seperate 3/4balls so that us mear mortals (16handicap) can get to see what a good player is like :P

    Regards

    Yeah, I would be keen, weather permitting......


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 564 ✭✭✭WillyWonka


    How about a game tomorrow? Around 11ish?
    Just throwing it out there, weather should be cold but dry.

    I could play tomorrow , where would you be thinking ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 564 ✭✭✭WillyWonka


    Open to suggestions but thinking around south dublin or wicklow.
    Bit late to be ringing around at the moment so might check it out in the morning.
    Maybe even south county, or charlesland (might be a bit windy for the coast though)...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,909 ✭✭✭BUACHAILL


    yeah i dont mind , i know south county are on temp greens and they are terrible , well so pro told me 2 weeks ago. I dont mind either , we could play Wicklow ? but really dont mind.
    if you wanna check early in morn and let me know ye have my mobile right ?

    Yep will take this offline assuming its just the 2 of us at this stage. If anyone else wants to join just reply. No interest in playing on temp greens really so more than likely wicklow.

    FYI as a member in Wicklow here's some data for you. Tomorrow is ladies day, the tee box is booked from 9 till 11 for ladies comp, only other times booked are 11.30 & 1pm so should be no problem getting out.

    18holes in play, all on full greens but playing on mats for T boxes.

    Tip, assuming you drive the ball about 250yards with a driver, take 3wood from the tee on the 5th, 12th & 13th. Using a driver brings all the trouble into play on these holes. Taking a 3wood still leaves them easily reachable in 2. 5th is 3wood followed by approximately a wedge, same on 13 (maybe a 9). 12th a 3 wood will leave you at approx the 150 marker. If your a long driver be careful on the 16th as the lake is definitely in play if your a long hitter.

    Good Luck tomorrow lads, wish I could join you's!

    Regards
    Ian

    Lads,

    There are five of us arranged for Tuesday 27th January at 12 o'clock in Forrest Little, €20 a head, three more would be more than welcome to make up two fourballs if you're interested.

    18 holes, full greens in good condition, provided the weather holds out you're guaranteed to enjoy it.
