Boards GS - 21 February - Portmarnock Links

Seve OB

So after our fun start to the year in The Heritage it's now down to business, and we couldn't get a finer place to kick off the "Race to the Jug" than our inaugural Links outing at Portmarnock Links. Many thanks go out to Golfgraffix for organising this one for us.



So yes it's normal service resumed and with all important GOTY points on offer, it should be a busy one, so make sure you book in early. Availability on this one might be tight guys, so first preference will be given to paid up members & those who attended last Saturday and regulars from last season. We will however do our level best to make sure everyone who wants to play will get their game. No shows will be noted and are really not appreciated. Teamer messages will go out shortly

This is going to be mighty

Rikand

As long as I'm not playing in the Winter league semi-finals, I'll be there

If i am playing in the winter league semis, I might still be there, but I could have to burn quite a few brownie points to make it happen, lol

Charlie, I will need a lift, no matter what the outcome

Keano

Well if Charlie brings you at least we know you'll be on time :P

Oh that hurts!!

Golfgraffix

28 spots is the limit (well 27, I am playing) so I would say get your names down early. I think it is 7 groups starting at 10:06

For those of you who have not seen the course before, there are some digital flythroughs here.

Better get my name down early, as I booked into the hotel last night

Lads cannot accept on teamer. Didn't any mail

I'm in, looking forward to it.

They haven't been sent yet.

They will be going out to regulars first and at some stage after that it will open up to the remainder.

It will be on a first come first served basis, but it's just this event we are restricted on numbers as it's a busy course so there is no room for manoeuvre, so we are trying to be as fair as possible.

Edit.... download the teamer app for the best chance to get notified as quick as possible

Macker1

Definitely going to this and will be bringing along a new player to join the society as already mentioned in the society thread. Hopefully this won't be an issue due to the numbers scenario.

Time to dust off the cobwebs.............


Not invited when I checked on Teamer. ?? Reading above post it will be the weekend before invite goes out ???

Good chance all the spots will be gone before then.

I'll definitely be there for this one too. Looking forward to it. Was gutted to miss the heritage.

ryaner777

I won't be able to make this one as another society I'm a member of also has there first outing that day.

Enjoy lads !

Another Society ??? :eek:

Get the hell out!!! :mad:

Kidding of course!

ryaner777

I know, and I've a 100% win record this year on boards outing so far !

It happened last year as well, alot of the outings clashed,

I'll run for secetary of my local society next year so I can control the dates and make sure they're different.

Dublin Spur

I'll be there - if there's room

Anatom

I won't be ready I'd say, still hobbling. Pity, as I really love that course...

spacecoyote

Jaysus there'll be itchy fingers on teamer this weekend!

I would really love to get to this one. Have never played the course & it looks superb.

Left my GOTY push too late last year, hoping to start 2015 like I finished 2014 (but not really expecting it, as I'm not a links pro like some of you lot on here)

dan_ep82

Really hope theres a late space and I can go, one of the ones I was really looking forward too

Seve OB

first invites gone out there so please either accept or decline on teamer as appropriate

pistolpetes11

Il be down the the mothers before this , may see if I can borrow her old Jigger for this one :eek: :P

Rikand

I got the permission slip and all!

But I dont think I'll be able to make it. Other logistical issues are in play.

I won't be at Naas either as I'll be on a Stag, so looking like Tullamore for my next one

I'm the best man and I organised the stag.... so I better not miss any of it, lol

FixdePitchmark

I'll be going to this one.

I'd say Golfgraffix has it in bag if going.

Again - lads will post something next week, playing a few beers at this one.

Any the cork gang staying up nigh before ?

kieran.

Can't make this one unfortunately as I've a wedding the same day. was really looking forward to it too so gutted. Hope the lucky 28 enjoy it.

Not a Cork lad but will try and get up early myself for a tune up around Corballis. I think we might be able to get a mini boards outing for the Friday.

If I don't make it up in time for a round of golf, should be able to make if for a round of a different nature though

No invite yet

PARlance

Lads, bit of forward thinking that may save a few headaches.

There are 2 four balls on golfnow for 9:48 and 10:56... They're €55 a head but I certainly wouldn't mind chipping in an extra few to cover the difference and I would say most wouldn't mind. Not sure...but it's prob only €3 extra for each of us.

Good idea to just book them as I think at least 8 more will play?

Think there would be 1 tee in between the 9:48 and our first slot. I'm sure whoever has booked that won't mind getting out ahead of a society 4 ball.

Yes - they may even give a reduction later ?

It's golfnow... I don't think they operate like that but there's basically 8 slots either side of the society up for grabs.

I was at 14 outings over last 2 years , and didn't get initial invite, so yes.

Harder to get into than real Ryder Cup.
Seve - legend Captain - keep them on their toes - sure to win jug.

A Links Lads - A links :D


Joking - but wasn't at fist outing - so fair enough.

Would be a good idea Parlance. I'd definitely travel but don't think I'll be in the first 28. But of a weird one giving preference for Portmarnock Links to the lads who attended the first outing after the event , no?

Blink and you'll miss out, just scrapped in as number 28:cool:

Winner pair nearly gone Tiger - love this captain - me and you the Tiger and Paddy - from winners to struggling for an invite.

Keep them on their toes Seve, you have inspired me.

At least - I'm a pain in the hole what did you do Tiger. :P

Macker1

Just in time no. 28

Class paulo - we will get a gang out in Corballis and a few pints in Malahide that night.
I'd say there are 4 or 5 from Northside that should make it. A weekend of links and pints. We all know know this may impact on points.

Paulo - you staying near Malahide ?

Sunset is 1745 the friday - we will target around 1300 to 1400 hrs. That will give all the chance to travel that day.
