    That's all booked for 11.10am. I did as Stevie said & phoned. No need for credit card details & only had to give them my name.
    Bank balanced untouched, always a good thing!

    enjoy lads, don't dig it up to much :)

    So ballyk, paulos53 & recycled & myself.

    I can book when I get home later this evening. I can pay for everyone on my credit card if it suits.
    Can everyone PM me names & handicaps if required?
    What time suits everyone?

    Having seen the latest reports in the "How did you score in your last round" thread, the sooner this game comes around the better. I just hope we haven't all peaked too soon. :D

    there is indeed my good man..............who'll be off 1.5 for Portumna!!

    Well lads, the race to Mount Juliet has well and truly started with Reganovski taking the early lead & scrubber and rikand completing the top 3. In what turned out to be a very tight scoring event there is a lot of us out there regretting that missed putt or that wayward chip and the loss of valuable GOTY points.

    Onwards towards Portumna in a weeks time and a few lads who missed the first event now playing its looking like the leaderboard will get another shakeup!

    You'll all notice that we have revised the GOTY points to tighten it up a small bit. This way means that it rewards consistent good play throughout the year. Game on.

    I like the points revision. That should make Ben a bit more catch-able by more people going into the last event this year :D

    To be fair, last year was totally based on the Fedex system without the bonus points at the end of the year. Also we have about 40 events less than the PGA Tour:D

    I think the tweaking this year will mean that both the GOTY and Ryder Jug will go right down to the wire.........who knows we might even get television money:P

    Sorry for the delay in posting these lads, had a few loose ends to tie up before I wanted to post anything.

    So without further delay, the courses for this year..................

    Esker Hills 22nd February @ 10:00am
    Portumna GC 22nd March @ 12:23pm
    Carlow GC 12th April @ 12:30pm
    Ballykisteen GC 24th May @ 12:00pm
    Dunmurry Springs 21st June @ 10:30am
    Gowran Park 19th July @10:00 (to accommodate all the Garth Brooks fans!!)
    Roscrea GC 23rd August @ 10:00am

    Captains day is 90% sorted in a marquee club, we're just waiting on final confirmation and to pay the deposit before making the announcement. It WILL be worth the wait though!!

    Good spread of courses with value / travel times taken into account.

    Lets see ye out there!!

    Get earning the brownie points for Carlow lads ;) only around the corner.

    (Hope you don't mind Charlie)

    Patient lot!!

    Here you go lads...........

    Scrubber has raced into an early lead with Macker1's win elevating him to second place. Golfgraffix has also shown that a top 3 finish was good enough to bring him right into the early contention and 3rd place.

    I really really need to get the finger out!!!:o

    Top of the table. Now before i gloat and get a temp ban i won't be making Carlow so i should plummet down the table. Probably only make ballykisteen and roscrea too. My wedding anniversary is on the weekend of captains but the missus reckons we can make a weekend of it. So hopefully make ryder jug team. Now back to the gloating........

    Jaysus - this is going to be hard to make team.

    Stevieob , myself and Tigerwood had a tough battle last year. Going to be even harder this year.

    Going to miss a few this year - so need a top 3 a least at some stage. Cool that it looks like there will be 20 + lads in mix for team.

    Rikand - what yo doing hanging around with us mid table lads ;)

    Surprised I stayed inside top 10 after last Sat.

    Looks like I won't be making Dunmurray Springs again this year as plans are afoot to be heading to Cork for the Irish Open

    Just send CharlieIRL a PM with your details, phone number and email address and he will set you up on Teamer (sends notifications out about the events)

    There's a €30 annual joining fee or if you can only make a few events then you have to pay a fiver (I think) on top of the green fee for each event and you'll be considered a "visitor". Visitors cant claim any of the prizes.

    Hey lads / ladies,
    I was just checking numbers there on Teamer for Saturday and checked the attendances from all the events since we started. I have 36 names here that have not replied to notifications or declined the notifications for the last 8 or more events. We've 86 names on the list in total so if anyone who hasn't attended the last while or hasn't replied and wish to attend future events please let me know ASAP as I'll be doing a cull on the list this week.

    Cause I had nothing better to do, and now I have to review and rank courses, I did a list of what I have played. Thought it might of been about 50, but actually my list of Irish golf courses played curently stands at 99.

    This means, unless I play a new one between now and the Gowran outing, it will be no 100 on my list, that's 1 quarter of all the golf courses in Ireland :) roll on the next 100 :)
