Free Golf in Greystones GC

Seve OB

Hi guys,

I forgot to mention this to the society outing the other day, but here is the deal. I was good enough to pay my sub early this year and as a bonus they gave me a voucher for a fourball. However it can only be used on Mondays, Tuesdays & Fridays. I had forgotten all about it till I cleaned out my drawers the other day!

I was thinking if there was a few lads interested in playing, we could have a little competition amongst ourselves one of the evenings or early mornings, whatever suits interested parties best.

I get out free also, so if we got 7 lads interested, 3 would have to pay (I think only €20 each as a members guest) so we could just split that out amongst the 8 of us, so maybe a tenner a head, to pay the green fees and winner gets the balance......

charlieIRL

fridays would suit me if anyone else is around, thanks a million for the offer.

FixdePitchmark

Thanks,

I would , love the course.

One of the best old style parkland courses ive played.

PARlance

I'd be on for that too, on the one condition that I get out with you Stevieob, I need a decent round soon and I would take my chances with Mr Midas.

Friday would suit me best. With a little notice I'll book it off.

Cheers for the offer

Um, not so! I have a free fourball too, so it would be 8 free rounds. I used the voucher last year for the Inside the Ropes gig at Greystones so you're welcome to have it Stevie - and if I can play so much the better

I would be (if picked) driving from Stillorgan if anyone is stuck or even if someone wanted to save themselves the last leg of the journey.

Cheers for the link Kev, there's a text book video of a drive at the bottom of the blog lads (there's even a hint of a Duffner waggle )

golfwallah

I'm interested, stevieob, and would love to play if there are any slots left.

Also, I would be coming from Malahide and could arrange to share travel with anyone else from the Northside.

Pleasant memories of winning the leinster branch captains and secretaries outing in greystones when everyone played on the one day at the one outing.

Cheers for that Kevin,

looks like we have a bit of interest in this so it might just be a runner. I'll start looking at availability so.

It looks most like I'll be headiing from work (city centre) or castleknock so can offer lift to anyone along the route... ajcurry;)

A very generous offer.......

I would be interested in tagging along for this trip if a spot is available. Every second week I have Monday, Tuesday and Friday off work so depending on the date set I could be available. Travelling from Ballivor in Meath if anyone needed a lift on route.

Seve OB

BUMP:

I was looking at the sheet and might try and book 30th August for this for those interested? How does it suit you guys?

Suits me Stevieob. (Anything date with more than a weeks notice would so if it changes you can count me in as well) Thanks again.
What time were you thinking?

Seve OB

I suppose lateish 4pm or so to give anyone who wants/needs to work a chance rather than taking the whole day off.

I can only book slots for casual golf 7 days in advance, so once we get the confirmations, I will see what's available next Friday morning for the following week.

I just noticed though, there appears to be a wedding in the club that day. I presume golf won't be affected, but grub/drinks after would be, though if required, we can always slip down the road to the Burnaby.

golfwallah

Many thanks, Stevieob - Friday, 30th August suits me.

Looking forward to it.

I can't make the 30th, but don't let that stop you - not as if I don't play it enough! I'll leave the 'free fourball' for you in the Pro shop.

I think I was chatting to you at the bar in holystown stevo. If there is a space ill play if that's ok?

thanks Kevin, I better make sure we have the right numbers and get a slot before I take it off you, though I shouldn't imagine there being issues now that Dar has added his name to the list. Let's just hope the wedding crew don't want to take over the course aswell as the clubhouse!

charlieIRL

Kids back at school that Thursday but am not working the friday so should be good for me too.

Macker1

The 30th Aug should be fine for me as well. I'm working but if we are teeing off in the afternoon as mentioned I would have no issue in getting a few hours off.

Thanks again for kind offer

@kevinmarkham, might just have to take you up on your offer of the green fees if that's still ok. was hoping to get one from my dad, but don't think he qualified for it.

Kevinmarkham

I'll leave it in the Pro shop on Monday, addressed to you! Enjoy.

Hi Stevieob,

I might have another player that would be interested if there is a place going. I can ask him if there is still an opening.

Thanks

Thanks for that. His boards name is Thompsa9. He is only a new member on Boards but is a nice fella and decent golfer. :)

Macker1

Hi Stevieob,

Apologies but I've been informed that getting the time off work that Friday is not a runner so unfortunately I have to withdraw. It was a very kind offer which I really did appreciate so hopefully someone else can benefit from your generosity.

I hope the you and the folks that go along have a great time as judging from the website it looks a smashing course.

Kind Regards

Macker1

Ok guys, I'll be travelling from city centre on Friday, so if anyone would like a lift along the way, please let me know. Also let me know if you need any directions.

As I previously mentioned, there is a wedding on in the clubhouse that day, so I'm pretty sure the bar will be out of bounds afterwards, but we can slip down the road if anyone fancies it to the local pub.
