    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.

    >>> click here

    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,

    Just Treats Team

    We’re looking forward to seeing you at our Par 3 9-hole Competition at the Heritage Golf & Spa Resort on Wednesday 9th April. We’ve had a huge response, so the competition is just about booked out. There are a few evening tee times remaining, so if you know anyone wishing to play, tell them if they’re quick, they can still book at the link below.

    Your trip to The Heritage should take around 1 hour from Dublin, just follow the signs for Cork and then exit at junction 14.

    On arrival at The Heritage please follow signs for the Natural Golf School and Par 3 Golf Course. Parking is limited at the Par 3 Course, so please park at the hotel and walk down to the Par 3 with your clubs and trolley. Trolleys are available at the Par 3 but if you want to rent a buggy please go to the clubhouse golf shop.

    If you’d like something to eat, the clubhouse will be open before the competition, where we’ll have a golfer’s special for just €10 available all day.

    Please note the following:

    • Register with the Just Treats team at the Golf Academy on the day
    (non-registered players will not be able to play)
    • Please ensure you register 30 mins before you’re due to tee-off
    • All players will receive a Just Treats goodie bag at registration

    There are some great prizes up for grabs – find out more on the day.

    Good luck in the competition and may the best golfer win.

    Happy golfing,

    Just Treats Team

    I'd offer you a lift only I'll be down in Naas all day (Golfing :D)


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 7,023 Mod ✭✭✭✭charlieIRL


    Anyone ever play the 9 hole course here before? Don't want to bring my full set of clubs down but don't want to be left short either.

    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.

    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.

    how the hell do you manage that?!!! Something i never considered carrying on my bike, often strapped crutches to the side of it when i broke my ankle but not clubs!!

    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.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 7,023 Mod ✭✭✭✭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!!
