Last 2 rounds played today and through to the next round from the Scotish qualifying are Mooney,Collins and Shaw.

Mortimer and Trainor were tied 18th but they said on website only 17 got through. Early i had seen top 22 plus ties

Poor weather means the German qualifying have only completed 3 rounds.
Grant and ryan currently still with a chance tied 23.

Speak Now

Stephen Grant and Mervyn Owen both got through to the second qualifying school when play got completed at Fleesensee over the weekend.

Second stage begins on November 26th.

Mortimer and Trainor did qualify afterall at Dundonald so 7 irish in total got the job done.

Good luck at stage 2 lads.

What is with some of the awful socres? +17!? I know the wind is at 40km but thats still no excuse for a score that bad, I havn't shot that type of score in over a year

when i hear people saying such things it annoys me,i play off 5,have played with Barry a few times when he was assistant pro in Bray,he's a savage player and only just made it,unless you have played in big comps and without knowing the course and conditions there really is no way in slagging off someone's score,could you do better?no,

tbf I think I could, I play off 8 atm but am really around a 3, I'm not going to get in a big argument about it I have played in the worst of the worst conditions and still scored well, if I can do it surely he can to

i'll call your tbf and i'll raise omfg,do you not play comps no?have you ever played with a pro?,if so,who and how did you compare?

the highlighted bit is a joke,you know nothing about the real conditions,oh and by the way can you explain this "played in the worst of the worst conditions ",

Are you for real? most of these guys are playing off +3/+4 when they give tour school a go and you're looking at a score saying you'd do better :rolleyes:

Enter up next year and see how you get on.

BTW i'm an 18 at the moment but i'm really around a 21 :pac:

Fully agree, why not play the Titleist Series in Portmarnock Links on a Tuesday or the winter alliance at The European Club on a Wednesday this winter.

Let's see how you fare off the championship stakes with the wind howling around you and a pretty regular standard scratches of 75 to 77. You'll get plenty of the lads who tried qualifying School there, Mick Lavelle, Gary Cullen, Barry Trainor etc. and quite a few top level amateurs too. Should be easy pickings for you!

As the others have pointed out, you have a handicap for a reason.

Hmm the only logic I can pull out of that one is that a 3 looks like half an 8....thus Iceboy is saying that he is really half as good as he thinks he is...

Sorry Iceboy I hope your taking the mick coz if you're not then can't see anything you post being taken seriously in future.:o

Anyway, a lot of Irish guys back at it again today in Manchester trying to qualify for 2nd stage. Let's hope we see a good few more into the next stage!

Funnily enough i was watching the europro tour on Sky last night and Paul O'Hanlon came tied 2. It was his 6th top 10 of the year out of 10 tournaments. Prize Money is minimal though and a step up to the challenge tour would be a big break through. Has won £6,466.30 this year. Currently sits 21st on order of merit. Only the top 5 get exempt to follwing years challenge tour. Even then the step up here must be huge as Noel Fox topped the Europro order of merit in 2008 but only won €1,703 in 13 events on the challenge tour in 2009. He's struggling this year back on the europro down in 51st place.
