Irish Amateur Open

This event is on in Royal Dublin GC for the next three days. I was down there this afternoon following different threeballs playing in difficult conditions and would recommend to any keen golfer if they have some time on their hands to go down and watch these guys play. It is not like a pro tournament no roped off areas, you can walk alongside the players and watch them go through all their routines and preperations for each shot. Costs nothing to get in just park your car put on your golf shoes and enjoy some great golf. (If you go bring a brolly)

I was there myself, the conditions were brutal with lost balls all over the course. 74 was an amazing score to be honest.

Yeh a 74 was an excellent score and one of their own brought in a 75,great scores in the conditions and taking into account Royal Dublin is now a monster of a course with the changes completed a couple of years ago. Hope today is a bit calmer for them.

69 today from nicky grant, amazing score considering how windy it was today (Saturday)

Spent another few hours down there today and saw the German Westermann bring in a 70 which I didn't think would be beaten until I saw your post. Again unbelievable scores in the conditions even though todays conditions are better but not by much. The course is in magnificent condition.

Saw them for a few holes yesterday, really good 3 ball. Booth and hutsby are serious talents, not that Kearney is a hacker mind you!
