Only about 45 minutes from my door so I'd be available Kevin. Fair play for the offer to the Boardsies again.

If you're travelling from Dublin, you should probably leave now

slave1

I've just looked for the day off so you can count me in the draw please , if the leave request gets turned down I'll let you know.
Nice offer.

SEORG

Would love to play Kevin. Thanks.

Ilik Urgee

Sorry. Mistake can't make it..

The_Architect

This will be a special treat for anyone who hasn't played it before. If time allows, I suggest people try and have two rounds as it is a course best appreciated on the second go. Alternatively, play The Cashen whilst there.

golfnut1

Oh please let it be me this time!!.
Thanks

bailey99

Would love to play this thanks Kevin!

DULLAHAN2

Would love to tee it up in ballybunion

Hey Kevin,

Seems like we are following each other around the country, we are just finishing up their modeling. maybe we could get a second 4 ball like we did at the Island.

For those who have not played here before, here is a nice Aerial shot

Keano

I'd love to play but 2 others have the day off so I cannot get it off. Lucky folks who get selected!

D Hayes

I'm available, please count me in.

thinks too much

Put my name in the hat please Kevin..Thanks for another great offer.

Sounds like a cracking idea. Any chance Jack will pop over for a round!!

I presume this means the draw is cancelled and the review is been done by kevin, the guardian, myself and cheryl?

Nice offer.

Day's holidays approved just in case I come out of the hat!
Never played it before and it's hard to get my usual playing partners to travel that far, so would be most welcomed!

Just as well it isn't "Inside The Rope - Portmarnock"
You'd be in a spot of bother then

NO




Thankfully I'm not here for the weekend folks!!!

Kevinmarkham

Any other takers?... the draw will be tomorrow at lunchtime

The Guardian

i'd exclude all kerry residents from this draw
if ye havent bothered checking it out before, serves ye right

idle

I've played there twice but if you're short numbers for the draw Kevin, feel free to include me

AdpRo

Please include me in the draw, would love to play. Thanks.

damoz

I am not GUI affiliated (18 HC unofficial), never played a lynx course!! , and just after my first round of 2013 (Mt Wolseley).

But on the plus side im owed a day holidays and would be interested to use it for something different like this ! So im interested.

kk2012

i can play also kevin, count me in the hat

Freemount09

I've gone around there before Kevin, couldn't call it playing golf cause it was so windy after hitting the ball anything above knee hight it would actually come back towards you.

If I qualify please put my name in the hat !?

Cheers

niallo27

Can you include me in the draw as well please.
Thanks.

Uncle Ben

I'd love to go but just checked with AA Routeplanner, 3hrs 52 minutes. I'd enjoy the drive down but it would be hell on the way back!

Guys, you're up, along with one golfer from my blog.
Be inspired... it'll be the day after the Masters!
I'll be in touch.

Cheers kevin, looking forward to it. Hard to beat Ballybunion early in the year to get the juices flowing!!

Thanks again

slave1

Well done lads, enjoy!

golfnut1

Totally delighted.
Thanks a million Kevin. Can't wait

pistolpetes11

sorry probably none of my business but thought one of the requirements was to have not played before which denisoc definately has.

Miley Byrne

Ok lads, apologies for not reading the T&Cs correctly. I have indeed played it before but hadn't realised it was a condition. Re-reading the OP it is fairly obvious of course! So a bit like Rory a few weeks ago I have WD alongside my name:o Whoever gets to go is in for a treat.

Unlucky Denis, I didn't read all the T&C's either, I played it for the first time a few weeks back, I didn't realise that by replying on the thread I was probably counted in for the draw.
I knew it was for people that hadn't played the course, I just didn't realise a reply (mine was slightly off topic) might have included me in the draw.

So Kevin, if redrawing, make sure not to include me.

Failing that, Mods can you delete the photos I took of it from the golfing images thread a while back

Come on ForeRight!!!!!


This is like the fake golden ticket scandal for willy wonkas factory.

Thanks to Denis for withdrawing so graciously!
Slave1 - you're on the tee

Stunned, just stunned, and I almost cancelled my day off! :eek:
I'm coming from Athlone so if someone is sharing the same route we may as well try and do some car pooling if possible.
Thanks Kevin for the share!

I'm coming from Portumna so could be a good idea.
