Scratch cups 2016

I love Birr too great track love the slopes on the greens. The par 3 s are great especially the long one on the 14th. It's under rated because it's too hilly for most.

Back home after a super super weekend in ballybunion,Weather was unreal. Played senior scratch , cashen first, found it very tricky. And not knowing lines and alot of blind shots made for very hard round. Had 85. First round leader was 71. Of course by a local. Then onto the old which I've played before, Course is looking excellent. 18 New greens will need good few months to bed in. They were very hairy and very very slow. Had an 81 on the old. Winning score was -1 overall. Super scoring around them 2 courses. Links is a game that just doesn't suit my game although I love playing it

Are scores available online for it? My brother was playing it, know he did fairly well. Sounded a great weekend.

Played tralee and ballybunion intermediate scratch cups at the weekend.

Tralee was gorgeous but there was a good breeze blowing. started well enough(first two holes : ) ). +1 playing the third the par three towards the castle thingy. 1 right into the atlantic, 3 right into the atlantic and 5 long left into the atlantic.(3 brand new pro v 1's)

So that was the end of my scratch cup efforts in tralee for 2016. really enjoyed the rest of the round but christ it was tough. Still my favourite course especially the back nine. personally i'd say the greens were grand.
Also had the privilege of meeting a few fellow boards members. SeveOB, kiers and keano who were out in front of us.

headed to ballybunion on saturday evening. dropped the bags into the b and b and headed downtown for 1 or 2. Ya know yourself.....weren't home til around 2 i'd say. up at 7 for an 8.24 tee time feeling a bit delicate to say the least.

Again a beautiful morning for golf. two members in the clubhouse told us that the greens were slow. My god. they were definitely probably the slowest greens i ever played on. When your ball started to slow down at all it just stopped. After a few holes we stopped lining up putts because there really wasn't much point and just hammered every putt at the hole. all the greens are brand new and they cannot be cut down tight for another few months to give them a chance. Apart from the greens(and I'm sure they will be class in a few months) the rest of the course is in fantastic condition. I had never played it before but the member that we played with was telling us about all the work that has been carried out there in the last few years. serious work done and the place is class. Personally still put tralee first though.

and to the golf.... i was going along nicely. +6 standing on the 11th tee. proceeded to donate another three nice new pro v 1's to the atlantic ocean. so that was that.

Mighty weekend. two fantastic courses. found tralee to be harder than ballybunion. Can't wait for next year already!!!!!

Don't know why, but it doesn't seem to be available to book on the system yet - it's still not available to members yet either.

Might be best to give the office a ring on Monday - 041 9827170

Best bet is the gui website. Www.golfnet.ie

Other than that you could check out irish golf noticeboard on Facebook

Or boards.ie user D Hayes has his own list. It's been posted a few times on this thread

Jesus 4 balls.Bad decision that. Could be a 5 hour round. Prizes will be great though. Won an open singles 2 weeks ago prize was 150 voucher. Came 2nd week before and 75 voucher. Place is in stunning condition. Was talking to the captain he said they spent 70 grand on all new equipment for the greens. They have a blue Monday every few weeks. 30 points could win that

Yes same, but understandably so, the work done has made a massive change to the quality of the course, they have really raised the bar for links and other courses alike!.

I'd never been before so I had nothing to go on regarding the changes. The member we were playing with was filling us in on all the changes alright. Some amount of work done and massive money spent by all accounts. Class track. Please God we'll head down again next year and i'm sure the greens will be a different story.
