Ah im supposed to be playing Knightsbrook that day

bailey99

One of my favourite courses but I'm booked in for the scratch cup in Ring of Kerry that Saturday.

Enjoy it!

Only 13 so far so room for 7 more, it's in good codition at the moment and is a really nice course.

It's in Tullow, Co. Carlow so coming from Dublin/North direction come off the M9 at Castledermot and follow the signs to Tullow and then Mount Wolseley is well sign posted, it's about 20 minutes from Castledermot.

Coming from the South you can exit at exit 5 on the M9 and go through Rathoe.

Played there yesterday - it's an undeniably beautiful course and in great condition. Tough start (index 3, 7 and 1 I think). Would imagine yellow tees are long enough for a society outing although I didn't find the whites overly long and I am in no way a big hitter.

It's a tough challenge but in no way unfair, found the par 3s very tough (and long) but there are opportunities to score on the par 5s.

Only negative was that it was very, very slow. Not sure what time slot you have booked but if it's not until the afternoon then you could be waiting around. Also a few greens were littered with pitch marks, but I don't think the club can be blamed for this. I wonder with the amount of hotel residents and societies playing are people just not as respectful as they would be with their home course?

Anyway, fantastic course with an absolutely beautiful finishing hole (my favourite I think), few narrow looking drives but once you make it through the gaps the fairways do open up. Very friendly staff both in the club shop and the hotel and the food in the hotel is lovely.

You'll have a great day - would love to go back for another go but unfortunately can't make it. Enjoy.

Oh - one last thing. Would advise picking up a stroke-saver in the club shop (€5). The only distance markers are in the middle of the fairways and if you're anything like me you wont spend much time there!

pistolpetes11

Well 15 maybe 16 as it stands ,

8 players still to reply but I doubt it at this stage that they will be playing .

I meant to ask with up to maybe 50 mil of rain due mid week how will the course be after it ? Does it have good drainage , will it still be playable ?

I know there is only 13 on this list :

Villain

Well the 50mm is over stated based on latest weather models but Mount Wolseley has very good drainage and it shouldn't be any issue, the only problem you might have is some water lying in some bunkers.

Can we maybe have a close off time. I've booked 5 slots so if aren't getting more than 16 we could hand one back?

if we do hand a slot back, any chance it could be the later one?

fair play Pete.

Tones69

Il let you know for deffo tonight

dolally

Hi lads, If your stuck for players I can play in this..I live in Carlow but the only problem I have is I'd have to be out as early as possible as i have to travel to Dublin straight after golf.If that doesn't suit, no problems.

pistolpetes11

Cant see any hassle with that , the earliest that we will have is 2.20 so not sure if that suits you ?

dolally

if you can put me out at 2.20 ( if it's available ) that would be brilliant thanks. Really looking forward to it, it's a great track. I played it last month and didn't do it justice. Now lets hope the weather gods are good to us.

PhilipMarlowe

I will put my name in the mix too.

charlieIRL

great, that's 18 so.
I might head out with you dolally as I need to be back in athlone for 9. Mission impossible me thinks!!

Villain

Come on 2 more to complete it

charlieIRL

fingers crossed it won't be too bad.......

Saturday : Quite cool, with moderate northeast breezes. Sunny spells everywhere, but some scattered heavy showers also and with a risk of thundery downpours, especially in the east and south. Parts of Connacht and Ulster could stay largely if not completely dry. Max. 10 to 13 or 14 C.

Gmpd

This would of been my first outing but unfortuately the missus auntie passed away last night. Most likely the funeral will be on sat.. So I'll be giving this one a miss.. Sorry folks!

Villain

We dodged the worst today only had 5mm so shouldn't be any issues, Saturday will be showery like recent weeks, details on http://www.carlowweather.com/

spot on, i think out tee times are 2:20 onwards anyway.

Villain

ok re-confirmed times of 2:20, 2:30, 2:40 and 2:50 it's €36 a head now because of the reduced numbers, it's usually €40 but I'm using some vouchers from my book to keep the cost down.

My weather station showed we missed most of rain yesterday and overnight so course will be fine, my weather station is only a mile from the course so it's pretty spot on for it.

charlieIRL

fair play, looking forward to it.

i just double checked my route there, don't think i'm going to make my family engagement saturday night - herself will be impressed.....2h 20m drive (90miles cross country!!)

BUACHAILL

Looking forward to this now !!
Hope we get some sort of decent weather on the day.

Cheers for this Villan, just a quick reminder for everyone to add on the €5 to contribute towards the prizes.

Unfortunately Keano has them so all prizes will be awarded at the next outing in Naas if that's OK with everyone?

and looking at Villan's weather station its giving it fine for tomorrow but gusts of wind, excellent news

Keano

My boot is loaded with them at this stage! Might just happen to forget the next outing

Villain

Right a quick forecast for tomorrow:
A cool afternoon about 9c to 10c with som sunny spells but mainly cloudy wind will be strong enough about 15mph gusting to 25mph from the NE, which makes the Par5's play downwind and some of the Par 4's extra long.

Are we playing off Whites or Yellows? I'll be there early but would like to get out in first or second group as I hae to head to a confirmation after.
