Boards Golf Society-Castlemartyr-April 28th-11:40am

Hi Lads
With our season well underway now the GOTY table is already looking interesting:cool: With a first boards win for Benny he has started the year great....Sorry about the confusion on the next outing as Douglas left it until last minute to confirm tee off times! It left us no choice but to change venue.Castlemartyr is a beatiful inland links course which I have played many times.It is situated on the grounds of the castlemartyr hotel and has a great clubhouse overlooking the 18th green.The course itself has a great range of holes which should suit the long hitters off the forward tees.
I wanted to tip the cap to all the lads from the very south for supporting all the boards outings over the years so that was the idea in having an outing in Cork city a bit closer to home for 1 outing at least.We have only 9 confirmed for this outing so far so hopefully everyone can make a good effort to travel for this 1.
The outing is 40 again for members and 50 for visitors(The next few outings are back down to 35 for members ).
We can get out in 3 balls aswell lads so should be a faster round than the last 2:):):)
Talk soon

Terry, do I need to reconfirm this? I answered the teamer for Douglas, was there another one for this one?

No the teamer invite was updated so if you accepted it’s okay

Anyone up to sharing the lift from Dublin? I would love to play but too lazy to drive for over 5 hours on my own in a single day. Could also drive on Friday as I am not working that Friday either and could play a round somewhere around there too

More than likely getting divorced for this one - fly in from 2 weeks away with work at 8pm Thursday night, my daughters confirmation is Friday (Which we booked for Blarney Golf Resort :D) and playing this on the Saturday.......
I wonder if I'll be allowed some putting practice after the meal :D

Playing Ballybunnion Thurs. Killarney Fri. Castlemartye Sat and away in Doonbeg Fri / Sat for 2 rounds the following weekend.
The silence in my house is scary at the moment.
We might get a better rate in a hotel together when we get thrown out.ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜

Benny is getting a captains pick for that comment alone ,:):)

Seve OB

Just back off my holliers
Haven't hit a ball in over a month

Unfortunately I don't think I'll be making this one. With the distance I probably would of wanted to do an overnight and not sure how that would have gone down at home... thought in fairness I normally don't have any issues on that front. As it happens, it is also first round of the Greystones Presidents Prize on Saturday and second round on the Sunday, so for the first time since I joined the Boards society, I am going to put club golf first.

Enjoy folks and will hopefully see you at the next outing

Hi Kenneth
No problem plenty of space at the moment with 20 slots booked and only 9 confirmed. An unusually low turnout at the moment.

Giving lads heart attacks there Bally!!

Lads can I just say and I'm not on the board or anything yet but there is a lot of lads who travel a long way for most outings especially the Cork lads and rarely miss any. Its a society were we have members from all over the Country and from different walks of life and we get to play course's we would never really get a chance to otherwise. Its why I joined and which I love. I know it might be a pain for some as in a 3+ hour drive but this is why we are all a bit golf nuts! Going out in the wind and rain even some in the snow :rolleyes: chasing the game that 1 shot or score that gives you that high!

So I just ask lads that are not considering going because its too far to reconsider, enjoy the drive and the countryside this lovely country of ours has to offer, Enjoy the golf good or bad, have some food and rip the piss out of the Rebels!!

Trust me its better then mowing the lawn! and Castlemartyr is meant to be a super track it has all the makings of a great day out..

And if your not a member but fancy coming, you can come as a visitor more than welcome we are a great bunch of golf nuts who all met over the internet nothing weird at all about that..

kiers47

Well said Benny!!

Seve OB

Well said Benny
And you are right, it is a cracking course.
One of the reasons I love society golf is the opportunity to travel around the country and play courses that I would not normally have an opportunity to get out on.

Cheers Benny looking forward to taking your title next week, the lessons are starting to pay off the last week or two:)

ThecHamp26

Really sorry lads , I have to pull out I have a communion that I can’t get out of otherwise I’d still be going

davegilly

Apologies lads, I will have to pull out as well - have to work in Dublin Saturday morning. Was really looking forward to this, haven't played since last outing.

Alanm

Sorry guys, was hoping to go but can't make it now. Am away working next week and I think I'd be shot if I even asked to disappear off on Saturday too.

Break80

Jeez. They are dropping like flys out of this one.
How many souls have we now captain.

Castlemartyr was a cracker last time we played it. One of the highlights of the year. Some lovely photos here from the thread 2 years ago https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=100422599&postcount=40

Enjoy!

and Dublin its poxy

got 9 in last night in Castleknock, was mad windy. 9 more tonight in Greystones.... it better stop raining

jarrieta

Still trying to figure out how I can manage to attend, trying to plan it as a mini-vacations and have to sell it to the OH, what is the deadline to confirm captain?

a post punk

Friday night you can confirm jarietta, I will put you on the timesheet provisionall. Thanks

jarrieta

Anyway, still open to share the drive on the day or Friday if it suits someone. Currently planning to play Mount Juliet on Fri at 43 Eur as I've never played it

Or another option is to play the open in Ballikisteen on Friday and staying in Tipperary town, the timesheet is completely empty though, but I am concerned of playing alone Mt Juliet and being behind slow 4 balls tbh

a post punk

Timesheet as follows lads
11:40am Kennethrhcp-Benny79-Macker1
11:50am Brian Rossiter-Doublecross-Break80
12:00pm BallyK-Kiers47-CharlieIRL
12:10pm Jarietta-Tigerwood-M.Murphy
12:20pm SSBob-A Post Punk

14 down to play so there are still slots available if there are any latecomers

jarrieta

Ok, have tried to make this work but cannot find the way to make it work, I will update my status in teamer.

Sorry for that lads, enjoy the day out there, that is a course I am really looking forward to playing!

a post punk

Thanks for letting us know Jarietta, sorry you can’t make it.

jarrieta

Thanks captain, not sure when I am going to be able to play this year, all the events this summer I am away

paulos53

Enjoy the day tomorrow guys

I am teeing off in the members competition at 9:00 so I might see some of you on my way to the 10th tee

valoren

Playing in work society there tomorrow. Hope the weather holds. It's a lovely course.

ballyk

Last time we played Castlemartyr I'd played in the Captain's Prize in Ballykisteen that morning and then raced down to Castlemartyr right after. :eek: Just about made it to the first tee on time!

Luckily I've no 18 holes planned for tomorrow morning! See you guys down there. Hopefully the weather will be ok.

RoadRunner

Lighthearted query.. both valoren and paulos53 playing same course, same day. If same tee's are also used could they also enter the boards comp too and notch up some valuable fedex(GOTY) points? :pac:
