Dear Golf Lover,

To celebrate the launch of the Masters 2014, Just Treats, in association with the Ballesteros Course, is delighted to invite you to the 1st National Par 3 Championship. Taking place on Wednesday the 9th of April at The Heritage, Co. Laois.

Running in parallel with the Augusta National Par 3 Comp

It’s your chance to make your mark on a 9 hole Par 3 course designed by Europe’s first ever Master’s champion, Seve Ballesteros. So why not put on that boiler suit and head for The Heritage.

This is the 54th running of the Augusta tournament and our very own Padraig Harrington has won it (par 3 comp) no less than 3 times. We want you to replicate Padraig’s skills on the Ballesteros Course.

Win a prize & pair with one of our celebrity guests

Not only are there great prizes, we’ll also have some celebrity guests playing on the day. You might be lucky enough to be paired with one of them.

Free entry!

Best of all, entry is free. The event will take place on Wed the 9th of April from 10am to 7pm. All you have to do is click on the link below, select your tee time for the day and confirm.

We encourage groups of four. (Note: Places are limited and on a first come first served basis. It will be a 9 hole competition)

Look forward to seeing you on the day!

Happy golfing,

Nah, it'll easier for me to just go straight out on the bike after work.

Btw, expecting good scoring for you if you've had a whole day of golf prior to our par3.

I'm on the motorbike and bringing the full set :cool:

ANXIOUS

Hopefully they have done the course up, I played it a few years back and it was in terrible condition. I'd played the par 3 in St Anne's the same week and that was in much better condition.

Actually it's not that bad. It's a pan european (side luggage on it), so it's fairly wide anyway. Tie it down on passenger seat along the width of the bike. I'm slightly less nimble when filtering as I'm a good food wider either side. Also it blocks my mirrors on the motorway. But otherwise I'd forget it's even there.

charlieIRL

couch on wheels!!!

I've a GSXR1000 so nowhere to strap my clubs down unless i want to take the heads off a few cyclists!!

We got on grand, played more for fun than anything else. 1/4 handicaps for 9 holes but seeing as we were finished so early we played a second round of speed golf! Greens recently pole forked and heavily sanded meant putting was fun!
I ended up 4 over off 4 (not 3 cause the lads cant do maths!) Barnaboy was 2 shots better. He was nearly level for the second round!
Thanks to the 3 lads for thr company and banter.

Thanks to CharlieIRL, Stevieob and RoadRunner for the company last night. Was a lovely evening and good craic and with Bayern thumping United it made for a perfect evening :-)

Seve OB

Lads it was good fun. Thanks for the game and bit of craic. Good shooting Tony, you might be in the hunt.......

As mentioned the greens were recently pole forked and heavily sanded, but I have to disagree with Tony, pole forking and sanding is a good thing, so I would actually say the greens are excellent. Unfortunately we got them when they had just been treated so it played a bit of havoc with some of our putts.

Give them a week or two and they would be a lot better than many greens around the country. I have learnt to be objective now that I am an official golf course reviewer

Speaking of reviewing, it is not much more than a field though. Bit of gorse around the place, but unless you are awful, it won't trouble you at all. Some good holes and everything from pitching wedge distance to hybrid will be required from the tee.

I would be going out of my way to play here, but if you are playing the main course, it would be a nice way to warm up, or indeed, if you were staying in the hotel, you could tell the other half you were just going to stretch the legs and squash a sneaky 9 holes in within about an hour.
