    Eventually got through and got a booking for Thursday 25th. They said it was just about full at this stage. A couple of early morning slots is all that is left.

    Thanks a mil to the OP. Me and my mates are getting out next week. Good luck to all who are playing.

    Had a tough time trying to get through to book it though. Reminded me of the good aul days before ticketmaster where you had to ring and get concert tickets over the phone.

    I reckon with the timesheet full for a month, and with the feelgood factor etc they will do very well through food, drinks, pro shop and follow-up business in green fees. Winners all round I'd say

    Same here. About the same I reckon. Hugely frustrating. Got into the automated system 4 times and pressed 1 but got nothing out of the end of it.

    It prob doesnt make a blind bit of difference but I was able to get through to the automated voice when using my landline to ring them but not when I used my mobile. I wouldnt have rang as many times as you but not far off it either. Keep on trying, they cant ignore you forever!!

    I suggest that anyone who still hasn't managed to make a booking log back onto the site, go into online booking system just to check what if anything is left.

    I guess it shouldn't stop anyone who has recieved their voucher from actually getting a tee time? Assuming of course they manage to get through and find a free time somewhere...

    Hopefully not for the sake of those who couldnt get through on the phone. Even though all the tee-times might be taken, I wouldnt imagine they would all be 4 balls. Hopefully they can fit people in with 2 and 3 balls. Unfortunatly the only way to find out is to ring them, which is the hardest part.

    If substitutes are allowed and anyone is looking for a fourth man on any of the weekend slots, let me know. I have my voucher.

    I'm the same - I have my voucher and am available weekends

    tried this morning from 9.30am - 11 but no luck!

    I'd be interesting for everyone to post details of their round in here afterwards, so we can all see how everyone got on.

    I was in time for the offer and I have my voucher. I am on my own so if anyone has a time that they have booked and they want someone to fill a fourball give me a PM and I should be able to get it organised to join you.
    I would prefer a weekday as opposed to a weekend day.
    Thanks...;)

    Massive response to free Druids Glen offer
    THE email links to Druids Glen Golf Resort were pulsing at a frantic level yesterday as golfers raced to book a free round.
    Druids Glen's website offered a complimentary round of golf between now and March 10 to anyone who filled in an information form.
    In the first four hours, over 15,000 hits were recorded on the website. Not all of the people would have filled in the form, but word about the deal was spreading at an amazing rate in Dublin yesterday.
    A round at the renowned championship course at Druids Glen normally costs €90 at this time of year.

    I'm sure this Liam Kelly guy reads boards, I wonder is he Conno16?!
