Looking forward to this one. I enjoyed the last outing at Esker a few years ago, can't remember a whole pile about the place, but do remember coming away impressed

charlieIRL

Its a fantastic course, lot of walking but some great holes on it. You have to think your way around it.

Rikand

I think I'm the defending champion around Esker, arent I ?

Looking forward to getting back there and defending my title

I normally like to hang around for the craic after but I might need to join you on an early slot here as I might need to get home early this time

3putt

Early time for me too please if you can. Thanks

OffalyMedic

I'm hoping to make it, accepted on timer but depending on camogie matches I may need to cancel but will be ables to give 5days notice or more be terrible to miss an outing in my home county

Rikand

I will also need an early-ish time slot

FixdePitchmark

Out last please.

Macker1

Late for me as well. Please

Absolutely not. The more the merrier, and we have a good bit of space available on the time sheet if anybody else is interested.

Myself and Brendan141 will be traveling together, if we could get out with tee times close together that would be great.

Alanm

Can I get a later tee time please?

OffalyMedic

I'll be there Saturday, don't mind what time

princess poppy

A little late but just accepted on teamer, looking forward to it

Golfgraffix

Hi all

Sorry I have been swamped at work, I will get active sheet up on Friday

Rikand

I'm actually not stretched for position on the timesheet now. I imagine myself and Charlie will travel down together so I'll play near to wherever he is playing

Keano

You'll be travelling alone so

Ah now. Not very fair to talk about Skates with Charlie in his current condition

BigChap1759

Any idea what tees we'll be playing off?

Yellows would be more fun, makes the 2nd and 10th holes (par 4's) driveable

Also reduces the 1st and 16th (par 5's) to much shorter more reachable in 2 par 5's.

playing off the yellows definitely doesnt take anything from the course like it would elsewhere. You're still be hitting over the same danger as you do from the whites. If anything, the yellows give you more decisions to make

Ben1977

Bring the brolly on Sat boys and girls

doublecross

Played the course early in the year and it was in great shape. I'd second the motion for the yellow tees, always a bit more fun.
Any ideas on nearest pin (5th) and longest drive (18th)?

Hi All

There was a small mix up on the times and the club have asked if we would mind moving a little, given that most want to get out early i have said yes.

new tee time is 12.10 and we are out in 3 balls. We will be off the yellows and i will get back with the NDP and LD.

Yea it doesn't look promising. I don't mind to much as I recently bought a brolly holder for my golf glider that needs trying out

Also got a new pair of shoes which I will be debuting

Why not the 5th for NTP? Straight down the hill, would be very interesting

12 and 18 best options for longest drive

Macker1

Is there a Timesheet in place ??
