    Well I promised I'd look at doing something to wrap the year up and seeing as there was a reasonable bit of interest, I have gone and booked us in at the world famous Corballis Golf Links for the inaugural Boards Turkey Shoot out.

    header_pic01.jpg

    Tee times will be early and kick off at 9:56.
    Three balls.
    Price will be a flat €30.
    We have 24 slots booked, but get in early and we can get more slots if required. There is another society out at 11, so extra times would be beforehand. Teamer will be sent out shortly.

    Open to everyone who wants to play, not just society members, so an ideal chance if you are new and want to come along and find out what we are about.

    :pac: Well well well.

    An actual outing I feel I can win.

    Maybe I will not end 2015 without a boards win.

    CSS was 34 pts the other day - so cleary a boards win will be 44 :p:D

    If I win , I want the points recalculated for golfer of the year - I'd be still in the mix. :pac:

    On 13, Don't be short - left - right - long or above hole.
    on 17 , close one eye, hope and use a Rory ball.

    I'm not giving 1 tip -

    Ok one, go for 11 in one you idiot. :D

    Bring loads of balls and not prov1s.

    How big are the Turkeys ? Fix must be hot favourite for this. Absolutely no excuses for not winning......


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,830 ✭✭✭spacecoyote


    Ah Seve, you must have been feeling sorry for Fix to finally give him a venue where he could pull out a win :D

    He's only been complaining for a couple of years so far.

    Looking forward to it, haven't been out to Corballis for a few years, not 100% if I played the new holes or not.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,186 ✭✭✭✭Seve OB


    I'm 100% sure I've never played any of it before.
    Actually looks quite nice from the pics


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,426 ✭✭✭✭FixdePitchmark


    I agree lads

    There are only 3 lads that could take me here - darcool , Golfgraffix or PARlance.

    Hopefully none of them make it. :D

    I'm putting myself forward as favourite. If I don't win this - I'm packing in the society. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,426 ✭✭✭✭FixdePitchmark


    Em, maybe the 2 girls could beat me there too,

    So besides them 5 (lol)

    Having been threatening to joins the society for a number of years this might be the perfect opportunity to dip my toes in and see what it's like.

    Also get to kill two birds with one stone and play the famous Corballis I hear so much about!

    As long as the missus ain't working that day I am in!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 292 ✭✭princess poppy

    Hope it's not as windy as last day, or maybe that's how to knock you off your perch


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 892 ✭✭✭Ben1977


    Great venue for that time of year. Played it once, was probably one of my first full rounds of golf, loved it.

    If there are any new people who would like to play, you are most welcome. Drop me a PM with your name, number, email, club and handicap and I'll get you set up and an invite sent out to you.

    Just checked and it was sent, you should have gotten it alright but never mind, I've accepted Teamer for you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,459 ✭✭✭Felexicon


    Might have to pop out for this one. My local knowledge is for sale to the highest bidder.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 391 ✭✭nailer54321


    Great course, Started my playing days on that course, hit everything for a pitching wedge to a 3 wood on the first hole depending on the wind. I hope to get out a bit next year and start playing regularly again, would like to go on this outing but have to work on that date. hope you get a nice calm day to play


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,426 ✭✭✭✭FixdePitchmark

    So besides Bombedbsicuit and now Flex and other 7 I mentioned - my chances are slippping :o:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26 hackersphorr


    I was thinking of joining the society next year. I saw this pop up and was tempted.

    However, I'm pretty poor and have never played a links course before. Would Corballis just cause me absolute grief and 20 lost balls?

    Would I be better off waiting until the first parkland event in 2016?

    Cheers

    I know the default to that question is come along.

    But, Could you play it as a practice before ? Do you live in Dublin - it is very cheap. (about 15 quid)
    So go out and try it would be the ideal .

    In November if wind , it will be hard.

    It is a short course - but is very very local knowledge based.

    Ignore Fixed, he's hell bent on winning this thing ;)

    The majority who will be there will just be out for a chat and happy to get the odd par. Go along and you will not regret it.

    Fair point, I'm not too far from it, will try to get out on Saturday and see how I cope

    is there spaces left on this, hoping to make it out, but just have to check the dates first?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,249 ✭✭✭sofireland


    Hey seve can I bring a guest with me? If there is space of course.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,732 ✭✭✭dan_ep82


    I'll have to see closer to the date now, what I thought was a crick in my neck was apparently worse, just focusing on getting back to work now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,186 ✭✭✭✭Seve OB


    proving quite popular!
    upped the numbers to 36. First tee will be at 9:45

    Played earlier today at Corballis in the Friday Open to get some feeling of how to tackle this well famed course. I have to say I found it bags of fun dealing with club selection in ever increasing winds. Had to tee off on the opening par three with my five iron and it only got more breezy as the round went on. Course is in great nick with greens running very true.

    Really looking forward to the fun on the 21st


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,426 ✭✭✭✭FixdePitchmark


    Nice to hear that Macker.

    Because - I go there for fun. You picked a crazy day (lol).
    Nice to hear another perspective - as it is a Love Hate sort of place.

    I never considered it a real full golf course (it isn't). But is there any harm in a bit of variety - short holes and very short holes. It places a real premium on the short and mid game - and is great for your game.

    A few yanks asked me for a place to play a quick 18 a bit different - I said go out to Corballis - fast , fun, by the sea and not a caddy in sight.

    But again - can understand someone not liking it at all.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,763 ✭✭✭redzerdrog


    I am really looking forward to this outing now that I can definitely go.

    I am intrigued by challenge that Corballis will present having heard so much about it on here. I am also nervous about weather it will tear my game asunder. I can be erratic at times and scratch holes at the best of times. Also the lack of par 5s cant be good for me as it where I do my best scoring. I am looking forward to the challenge and not being able to just bomb a driver every hole.

    Also be interested to see how it compares to my home club, as it is often described as not being "linksy" enough. As a result there is massive changes planned over the next 3 winters to rectify this and make it more like a genuine Links course.

    Myself and bombedbiscuit will be traveling together, so if we could tee off around the same time, it would suit.
    What's the tee times?
    Barnaboy if your heading to this outing there is room for one more?

    If possible, I'd like to get out relatively early. Thanks


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,612 ✭✭✭BigChap1759


    Any plans for heading somewhere after for a drink/food - the clubhouse there isn't really set up for hanging around after?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,636 ✭✭✭✭Mantis Toboggan


    Early tee time for Mr buddy holly please Seve

    This place is not bad - now, is a Saturday and could be something on - I've only been there during week.
    Good food etc - unreal views.


    Only 2 minutes up road , you can see it on the 16th Tee.

    As Fix is the resident expert, I shall bow to his judgement and decision of what we are doing after. I had no idea there were no facilities
