was wondering would having a sticky up for arranging a game with fellow boarders be a good idea. thought it would be handy for arranging a game instead of other threads being hijacked .well modds what do you think?

WHIP IT! · 14-01-2009 9:39pm

Sounds good to me too... might be a way to eventually get some kind of casual Boards Society going down the line...

PhilipMarlowe · 14-01-2009 9:55pm

Stuck.
We'll see how it will hopefully grow...

DonkeyPokerTour · 14-01-2009 11:27pm

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

PhilipMarlowe · 16-01-2009 3:56pm

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.

Regards
Ian

kingshankly · 17-01-2009 8:37pm

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

DonkeyPokerTour · 17-01-2009 8:46pm

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)

Jesus Kingshankly that's a savage offer, if I'm up that way I'd love to, doubt I will be though:mad:

Anybody fancys a game in Forrest Little over the coming weeks let me know, I have a bit of time off and would gladly take a fourball out for the craic.
Weekday would be handier to get out.

20 yoyo's is a steal aswell, thats all it is if you play with a member (i.e. me:D)

So the invitation is there lads, bring it on, you're pretty much guaranteed to win a couple of Euro off me aswell, am playing shoite:eek:

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.

Cheers

JCDUB · 19-01-2009 10:03pm

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

Run a business using above info, a simple google search of my name or my username will throw up the same information so I'm not to worried!

kingshankly · 20-01-2009 1:25am

Tuesdays good for me as long as it's not too early will be coming up from Dundalk shouldn't take me too long with the m1 45 min or so (probably quicker than the wicklow lads)

Mister Sifter · 20-01-2009 11:44am

Anyone fancy a game a week on saturday let me know (31st Jan!). I was thinking of somewhere like Luttrellstown (40 euro) or Castleknock (50 euro).

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

WillyWonka · 20-01-2009 9:57pm

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 ?

WillyWonka · 20-01-2009 11:15pm

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)...

BUACHAILL · 20-01-2009 11:30pm

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

JCDUB · 21-01-2009 7:27pm

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.

JC

I'm a member so its free for me, but its 20euro with a member in the summer, maybe cheaper in the winter. Its 40 without a member in the summer.

BUACHAILL · 26-01-2009 10:17pm

I played it with Willy Wonka last Wednesday and it was €25 .

Only got to play 9 as there was a hurricane so in fairness guy gave us a voucher for 9 holes.

Well worth 25 euro.
