Is there any live scoreboard for this tournament?.

Can you just turn up to watch?.

You can just turn up- not sure about live scoring.

The wind must be blowing it up out there judging by the scores.

Some fella is in with a 66- 4 clear after day 1.

Always interesting to see how pro's destroy my home course when I can't bloody break 30 pts at the minute!!!

That some fella is Michael McGeady, he won a challenge tour event in '08 and I remember him almost winning the co-sanctioned Madeira Islands open in '09/'10 but made a balls on the back 9!

Some great players on show, would love if it was on in Cork:D

Just back from watching an hour of it. These boys operate at a different level I tells ya- their drives were huge off back tees and putting distance control was great to watch.

What is the situation with the crowds, roped off or Walker cup style?

Dealerz · 11-10-2013 3:47pm

Walk as you like! Most groups have no one following them and most I saw walking with one group was 4- but it is only Friday!

Interesting to see was the strategy of one guy on a long par 4 (3rd hole if you know the course)
It's a tough enough hole as ob is right and a fairway bunker left- clear the bunker and it opens up nice and wide for the approach to green.
He hit an iron when I assumed it would always be a driver off back tees to get to the widest part of fairway-It didn't look as if he suffered for the iron iron strategy either as he cleared bunker by about 20 yds.

Also interesting was how behind two groups I saw from the group in group in front of them- more than a full hole- maybe the gap between groups on first tee was bigger than normal 8 or 9 mins.

Judging by the scores posted so far- conditions are tough.

Must try to get down there Sunday for a gander. Might have to gag my two kids.

Its all set up for a great final round tomorrow. I wouldnt be surprised to see Colm Moriarty surge tomorrow.

None. The hotel was empty, a few in the bar when it was early evening, but I thought there would be more of a buzz tbh.
