Everyone start hoping for better weather!!!

Signing myself up for this one

Great course, played it last year on the morning of ( I think) the Jimmy Bruen final and the place was in superb condition, a real gem of a course so something to look forward to all.

EDIT Just had a brainfart, got Portarlington confused with Portlaoise DUH

Rikand

bumping this with renewed interest in the sticky thread

TheRoomWrecker

Portlaoise is an extended par 3 and very young. Not in same league.

Put my name down, looking forward to it, never played there before but it looks like a nice course from Kevin's photos and his review in hooked. Hopefully the weather will have come around a bit by then

Ben1977

I won't know if I can make it till that week. Its a nice course, some really great holes, 14 to 16 are great holes.

for non members of the society its €10 extra.

Non Members / Visitors Section
• Non-members pay cost of course + €10 at each event

• They are entitled to win visitors prize, nearest the pin, longest drive, 2's club but must collect the prize at the following outing or get it collected, otherwise this is forfeit

• They are not entitled to enter GOTY, Captains Prize and are not eligible for selection to the Ryder Jug

• Non-members can become members by paying the €30 less anything they have paid over the members price at outings? ie. if members paid €30 and non members paid €35 at Thurles, non-members can join for paying an additional €25 at the next outing

PARlance

Had to decline there lads. Enjoy and good luck

pistolpetes11

Looking forward to this , hope to get out for a few rounds beforehand !

I was up there myself last Thursday, was the only person on the course all morning, was soaked by the time I finished really enjoyed it though, great course. Hopefully it will be both dryer and warmer in Portarlington.

pistolpetes11

I know someone who works in the Pro shop , might see if I can sneek a round in with him before hand ,

Get some local knowledge :pac::pac::pac:

charlieIRL

was thinking the same but won't get near the place before the event! Earliest i could get there would be 5:30 in the evening.

mafc

Played there a couple of weeks ago, great course but unfortunately the greens had been pole forked. Hope the recent rain has encouraged them to sand the greens.

I play here a few times a year and I'm sure the Boardsies will really enjoy it

Holes 14 to 18 can be real card wreckers....

Miley Byrne

Lads I won't make this unfortunately. Rescheduled Inter Scratch cup in Ballybunion is on the following day so thats my away game that weekend. hopefully I'll make the following one though.

blockic

Lads will hopefully make this. Will confirm over the weekend on teamer

paulos53

Same here. I will know early next week if I can make it.

Seve OB

looking forward to nextr week

FixdePitchmark

Thinking I may try play.

Due a Physio on elbow problem - may test it during week and try play Saturday. Will let know on Teamer by Thursday.

Sorry so late. Trying best to make it.

Hi gents, I said yes to the text we received and I still hope to make it but I wont be able to give a definitive answer until later on in the week I am afraid.

My shoulder still doesn't feel 100% and I didn't risk is this weekend but I am hoping it will be ok by Saturday.

Seve OB

will there be a time sheet or do we just roll up and be ready to tee off at half 10?

if anyone is heading from Dublin 15 area and wants to go together, let me know

blockic

I'm in lads. Accepted on teamer there. See ye Saturday. Looking forward to it.

charlieIRL

FixdePitchmark

Lads got through 6 holes there feeling good. So im down to play in teamer now.

phkk

Lads, sorry have to pull out. I totally forgot but have a wedding on Friday and wouldn't be in a fit state to hit the road at 9am! Enjoy

mikeystipey

looking forward to this chaps...round of golf and then Munster in the Heineken semis, doesn't get much better than that!

thinks too much

Apologies for this lads but due to family issues I will not be able to make it on Saturday..good luck to all who attend

ryaner777

Finally got confirmation I'll have saturday off work. Is there still time to be added to the team sheet ?
I've just replied to the teamer text. I'm heading from artane/beaumount so anyone that wants to share the journey is more than welcome.

kkelliher

Gents are we working to timesheet or arrive and play? Just need to plan the day

Keano

As usual pedantic Pete will put one up but if you want play early just arrive early

FixdePitchmark

I can play early as in area. If that suits. But have no travel so can play late if that suits.

gonna have to pull out of this one lads gutted, explained on teamer

go luck for all playing, looks a nice track enjoy it

link_2007

I hate doing this but I am going to have to add my name to the late drop outs I am afraid.

Hopefully see you next month.

blockic

Out for 18 this evening, I have never played as bad! I hope it is all out of the system now for saturday, or else I pity my playing partners!!

Keano

Lots of fallers this week. Someone could pick up handy GOTY points. If Ricky makes it back to back wins it'll be hard catch him!
