Pm me a contact number and email address and I'll add you to the text service. We send out a text a few weeks before the event to get numbers.
Come along to the next event and away you go!

Jaysus.... miss any more events and you might be banking on the aul captains pick for the Ryder Jug... then again, knowing you, you will probably win the 1 or 2 you turn up at

I'll be there.. can't wait

Hopefully I'll be able to make the other events though and win my place on the team by rights rather than rely on a captain's pick. Although I've played twice in the Ryder Jug and won twice....

The chances are you would lose the 3rd so

Hey Charlie, hope your keeping well... I'm almost as good as Victor in matchplay

Don't jinx the man!!

Christ my record is a half and a loss!! Time to fix that!!:eek:

100% record thanks to Ben. Hopefully more of the same this year WHEN I make it into the team. Pressure is on this year with the amount of people that turned up at the first outing

Unfortunate events which could not be avoided meant rik had to go out first time on his own.

kiers47

Have been in golf hibernation for the winter months. Due mostly to being busy and partially to the fact that i dont enjoy playing golf in rain on courses that are like bogs( but thats for another debate).

Hope to make this next event anyway and looking forward to it.

BigChap1759

Won't be able to make this one unfortunately lads but hope you get a great day for it

spacecoyote

At the moment it's actually looking likely I'll make this one.

Thought it was a definite no go, but I think the missus is probably away that day so I'll have the free pass.

Have to just 100% clarify the details but I'm in cautiously optimistic mode at the moment

Seve OB

:rolleyes:

Jaysus, I've never seen such a bunch of hen pecked, pussy whipped guys

:rolleyes:

Ben1977

Can't make this outing. Not a good start to my boards outings this year. This was an outing I wanted to make as I've never played the course.
Will have to send a couple of brown envelopes to the Captain just so I'm in with a chance of a captains pick!!!!

Miley Byrne

I'm not a definite for this either but am hopeful. Have only heard good stuff about the course so would really like to play. Club foursomes qualifier in my place that weekend which I've no interest in playing in so it's clashing with nothing else. I'm playing Doonbeg on the previous Monday so will need a pass for the Saturday but shur I'll work on that.

I wouldn't even attempt to deny the fact!!!

I get my game in every weekend in the home course, but thats a 5 min drive away

A 4 hour round trip plus 4 hours for golf plus time for a bit of grub takes a bit more grovelling

kieran.

You have to make it in their interest my ploy was promising a long weekend away with herself for one of the trips.

that doesn't work with mine, a weekend away means a weekend away. Away from EVERYTHING!!!! Especially golf

Lads - I don't think we are doing anything to discount the the idea that golf is a misogynistic sport :P

stevie - were you not the man organising the romantic weekend away for Captain Day

Joking - lads , we have to work on rebalancing the society to a modern one

Well as I got married there I thought it would be nice if I brought herself back down to caddy for me.......... Maybe it runs in the family and just just hasn't twigged her true vocation yet

lol,

no I think your onto something - the final pass

Anatom

Can't make it (that's two in a row now!!) as its too far away for me to get a pass. I've managed to get out every weekend for the past month now, so the availability of passes is diminishing quickly... I've put the Carlow one into the diary though so we'll see. Enjoy it all!

Ideally we'd like to know by the wednesday before the event.

spacecoyote

Will the usual Teamer mail/texts be going out on this one?
