Boards Golf Society - CAPTAINS DAY 20th September 2014

Excitement building now alright...in the final group, but a little too far out to be in the real mix. September swing changes were not a good idea!!

Will keep the 3 bandits honest though

I assume there is a practice range out there to hit a few warm up balls?

Range is beside clubhouse. Nice walk to first hole so give yourself plenty of time.

Yupp, good numbers alright. If we had one more then it would even out all the groups as we have to go out in 4 balls.

First Tee time is 12:20 so can everyone be there at least 30 minutes before we go out?

I'll be on the 18 hole putting green for a while!!

If you've never been there before, it's not an actual green. more like crazy golf. but it's cool, condition is pretty shabby though any time i've played it.

oh, and it's hard to find!! it's out behind the Rose Garden Cottages, or directly in front of the main house....up in the trees

Normal practice green is class, short game area with bunkers is cool and range is quite good however only a few bays.

Great course, hope everyone enjoys it!

Jaysus - I'm going to be watching great golf, with me, behind me, and in front of me.

Could the people on any adjoining fairways watch out for me. Not too many thank goodness.

Left or right as it transpires. The duck hook looks the most dangerous.

rollotomasi has rounded up another poor soul to go out with us to make up the 24 (6 x 4) so all slots filled now. Bit of a re-jig of the groups as he wants to go out in the same group (we don't bite, honest!!) but good to have all the slots filled.

probably just as easy to eat at MJ. The bar food is pretty decent. It's going to be 5ish before we are eating, so if we muck around at that stage heading into town/hotel etc there will be a lot of bellys think throats have been cut!

I was at Mount Juliet earlier in the year and the bar food was pretty good.

Everything in MJ - is a bit expensive , but I guess we are on holidays, once off.

If we eat at clubhouse as people come in - it will save a good hour or so for most.

We still need to get back to hotel / book in etc. So no harm food out of way (IMO)

Lads - just so it is not too mental from the off - anybody know a few or a decent quieter old man boozer to start in - just to work out who is who, chat to start - Langitons from the off a bit intense.

Below well worth seeing , but very busy too.

Yea, lets wait till a bit later before we hit Langers

I used to frequent KK quite a bit, but it's been a while now. Maybe Shane007 can put us straight on a few bars, but maybe start in Syd Harkins... used to at least have a pool table there and a dart board... then could go up to Rafter Dempseys before Move down to Matt The Millers to finish in Langtons

charlieIRL

Anyone who takes drunken pics on their phone will be banned Monday!!

I better stay off boards with the few pints on board also!!

Yes sensible enough - actually see these people are human.

Decent plan - but a real pub does't have a tv or a pool table or music.

I'm like that - (lol) - but not that bad.

Agree with that, any camera or swinging (well you know what I mean - golf type) - and you get a ban from Cha.

can you imagine what the girls would be saying!!!!

"Where do you think you are putting that?"

"How come his is broken?"

"Why is his bigger than yours?"

"I got me a big black one!"

etc etc......:rolleyes:

FixdePitchmark

Lol.

:eek:

Who is sharing with Stevie.

Someone in work recommended a bar called The Field as a bit more old man-ish but still central & still a good spot. Could be a starting point for the night?

Someone from that part of the world might be better placed to recommend though

Nightlife in KK is huge.
Main pubs would be:
Langtons
The Left Bank
Matt the Millers

Matts is probably the best & handy to roll onto Langtons afterwards. It's also owned by some good friends of mine, Ray & Brendan. Sound blokes so give them some stick!

Syd Harkins is a nice enough pub for the thirty somethings.
Ryan's in Friary Street (just off High Steet) is a brilliant pub for live music. Also owned by a diamond friend of mine, Arthur.
Further down High Street you have The Playwright, very good pub, again owned by a friend of mine, Richie. Richie is also a 2 handicapper & a member in MJ and in KK.
There are approx 40 others but you won't go wrong with those ones.
Any teeny boppers amongst you, make your way to Biddy Early's. It's beside Matts.

Again, sorry I can't make it, even when it's on my own door step. I forgot the 20th is wife's birthday (a big one) & also our wedding anniversary, plus I have class until 4.30.

Anybody needing to scraped off the floor on Sunday morning or needs to be bailed from jail, send me a PM, I might have a few contacts ;-)

The Big Easy

Sounds like a few are getting giddy with excitement, mustn't be allowed out much lads :pac:

Am I odd in looking forward to the golf more than the pints and swinging in Kilkenny afterwards :eek:
