Hi All

Teamed invites just went out (thanks Seve) Saturday 18th

Spots available for 36 if we go in 3 balls. 1st tee time is at 12:12 with 10 minute intervals.

We are out on The East Course, I havent played it but have walked it and it looks great.

I'm at euros - it will be a gross event.

Ben1977

Myself and Brendan141 will be going, could we get an early tee time please

Might have to give this a miss as it conflicts with representing my club at Pierce Purcell. Won't know for certain till nearer time.

Am actually here on Pierce Purcell duty @ Powerscourt all weekend. We are through to the final. Tee off at 2. Not playing, thankfully as I'm tired enough after the semi this morning!

We are on the west course though so I won't have much of an idea when we play the east in 2 weeks. Great set up though here folks, class location and the course is pristine.

Golfgraffix

Good luck, who you playing against ?

Same day as the euros, I'll be in the pub all day.

Am I right in thinking that the East course is the older of the two with the 1st running parallel to the road up to the clubhouse?

Yes that's the the one. No idea which course is older though

Fantastic weekend. Up since half 5 this morning which is very much not like me! Thinking of bed very soon!

Powerscourt is a really class set up. As venues go, there can't be much better in Ireland

Unfortunately arriving back from Holidays that day.

It is a great venue, enjoy, sorry to miss this one.:(

So I've a chance of getting in the top ten

Dr.Rieux

How much will it be for guests? It may be the only outing I'll have a chance of getting to this year so doesn't make sense for me to join now.

The green fee is €45 and we normally add a tenner but to be honest we are now down to 8 players not sure it will be going ahead

RoadRunner

I put myself down as a yes. But herself has some pre-baby meetings at the rotunda coming up, so I'll need to just double check with her that I'm free.

Hi J,
Do we have a minimum requirement before going ahead with an outing?

Also, have you a date when you'll make a decision? Since I have permission to play that day already; I'd like to organise something else if this won't be going ahead...
Thanks!

who's stags you heading down on ? a friend of mine matt is having his stags that weekend in galway.

bombedbiscuit

i think you should try push it back a week or 2 if possible , its just unlucky its falling on a ireland match , people will struggle to make it home for the kick off

OffalyMedic

Also on my holidays J so unfortunately can't make it. Sorry

Golfgraffix

We have 10 playing but we git a price based on 30, we looked at moving it but there was not much else available around the week after.

I will put a call into them and see what the story is, if they keep the reduced price then we will go ahead.

Actually, I was looking at your app for there last week. It's good, but I think it could be improved, maybe my phone, but it was forcing me to keep rotating my screen which was a pain in the arse. Remind me on Sat and I'll show you what I mean

Golfgraffix

Yes white tees

Long term forecast looks ok, no rain http://www.yr.no/place/Ireland/Leinster/Powerscourt_Estate/long.html
