Hi, I'm a registered member of the PPUI and would also like to see the a country-wide forum to discuss whatever PnP'ers want to.
I see many people want to separate forum on here (boards.ie), but if I get the backing of the "regulars" here I can have a forum up and running on a a private .com address by tomorrow! (obviously improvements would be made along the way).
If you guys are interested, reply here... I would take the role as facilitator, so I'd hope the strong influences here would agree to come on board as moderators down the line and help the forum thrive.
If you guys have no interest in launching a separate pnp forum, that's fine... but I hope you'd like to give it a go.
Let me know,
Cerberus
I think its getting to the stage where we need our own forum to discuss things! Id defo be in favour of this! And id help out in any way in keeping it going! Im sure word will spread quickly across the country and we could have a number of posters within weeks!

Lads, we had a trial last night in Larkspur Park and with one trial to go this Sunday at Riverdale Scr Cup it is all to play for
Paul O'Brien -65 (Safe)
Brian Webster -58 (Safe)
Noel Joyce -52 (Prob Safe)
Rory Hogan -49
John O'Meara -47
Davy Morrissey -42
Stephen Shoer - 40
Sean Minogue -39
James Cleary -34
DJ Lynch -19
The above scores are counting 5 trials although we have played 7. Sunday will prove as to who has what it takes to play at the highest level as they will need to perform to their maximum in order to make the team. Realistically I would say that the top 5 are safe as Rory & John are playing at home this Sunday so really you have 4 players fighting it out for 6th place... There will be added pressures though on the locals to do well so Sunday is make or break time as they say:cool:
Jaysus Paul, just looking at the scoring there, Offaly will be competing with Tipperary for the Nationals.
Good scoring by yourself, after that the scoring (Cleary excepted) the scoring is how one would expect it. Hard to see James getting on now.
If I was Davy Morrissey I'd be feeling the heat ahead of Sunday!0 -

I agree with you Kingdom... Offaly have really impressed me with their scoring... I have put them down as serious medal contenders in Larkspur Park so it will be interesting to see how they cope with the new pressures that will face them on the day..
Regarding the Tipp boys scoring averages.. I have to say the inclement weather conditions have not helped at all... Last year I was -29 for 2 trials in Hillview but weather being so bad this year down there I have dropped -15 for 2 trials down there....
I agree though the scoring should be better but our team is good enough to get something from the Inter Counties.. Whether or not we challenge Cork remains to be seen, I know I would love to be hitting in 18 in Cashel needing a birdie to win!!!:P0 -
well thankfully you are involved in pitch and putt, you do see a lot of touts on the different forums. The fact that you are aware of the difficulties is an added bonus too, because anything that gets started up will be under intense scrutiny I believe.
I will offer to be a moderator once I'm happy with the setup!
I too would offer to be a moderator but I will have to see the set up first as I am certainly not going to part of anything that might raise issues with the PPUI...

With regards to the PPUI website I think it is being updated a lot more in recent times than it used. They can't do all the updating on competition so why don't some players take it upon themselves to the reports on certain competitions that they aren't at. I know results are sent back to the office from Competitions but we are at the competitions and is it not easier to do a report on them here, and then mail that report to PPUI.
I know that the PPUI are very interested in receiving updates on competition within our respective counties. Like I say our PRO can't be everywhere but why don't we do some of the work for them... The report I put on last week about the Munster Matchplay was put on the PPUI site... Sometimes we need to give a little back to the PPUI also, don't we??
What other aspects would you like to see improved on the PPUI site
I have to say that it has improved a lot in recent weeks and a lot of this is down to reports written by the likes of yourself. Personally id love to write a report on competitions I play and i hope to do so in the future if i get enough information! Surely though the PRO of each respective county should be the ones providing these reports or at least helping the PPUI a bit more in this regard!
Ideally id like to see a forum on the PPUI site as it would show we're getting behind the PPUI and not going against them. Im only 19 so I dont remember the last forum so I dont know what went wrong but surely in this day in age things will be run much better.
Theres just a few small things that annoy me on the PPUI website. For example the winners of last years championships have not been updated. Now I know not many people look at this section but it should still be up to date. I was also thinking that maybe time sheets from county competitions could be uploaded on the website. The reason for this is people will have easier access to draws. E.g. My club probably won't recieve the draw for our county matchplay until late next week a few days before the cometition. This is annoying for someone like me as i dont know what times ill be playing meaning i cant take a day off work at short notice. I know this isnt the PPUI's fault but surely there should be more interaction between county boards and PPUI. You've already seen the draw Tipperman yet i wont get it until next week and im the one playing? There is something majorly wrong there. This is more of a rant at the cork county board however 0 -

Yes Jinky the latter part of your post is a problem with Cork Co Board in fairness. A senior player sent me the draw of the senior matchplay for Boards etc etc...
Providing information as you stated above by Co Board PRO's.. A lot of Co Boards don't have PRO's as it is a very thankless job.. I stepped down last year in Tipp due for various reasons and they couldn't fill it so I said I would help where possible.. I believe it to be a more important job that Chairman as we are litterally marketing our great game as PRO's....0 -

Apologies to PPUI, the results part of the website is now up to date mostly apart from a few parts. I was clutching at straws, the website has pretty much everything that needed. Apart from a forum of course 0 -

Things have improved definitely. Have they improved enough? Thats a matter of opinion.
Once again as far as I'm concerned these things all come down to transparency. The PRO has started to put things on the website, such as the reports written by two of the contributors to this forum, likewise they seem to be appearing in the Lobbed Wedge magazine too.
But what was stopping the PPUI/NEC asking for help with reports such as this.
Take the convention for example. I don't know if I'm entitled to go there to view as myself, as I don't want to go representing the club I'm affiliated to as thats not practical for me.
Of course there should be a PPUI forum, and of course criticism should be allowed. Constructive criticism however is well fair, not the bloody rant above. Enough of us are posting here and putting our opinions out in the open when everyone knows who myself tipperman gcpm hhealy are, its easy to sit behind a screem when nobody knows who you are and go on what appears to be a premeditated rant, with sly digs left right and centre. catch yourself on canis. If you want to criticise someone go ahead and do it, but have the grace to mention who you're on about.
We have a good PRO in Offaly who happens to be pretty much at the top of her sport, which means more often than not the PRO has to provide reports on competitions that the PRO has won. How difficult is that? Very difficult. I've said it before and I'll say it again, when these people (regardless of position) go forward and seek nomination, any help they need should be there, but often its not.0 -
