Boards Golf Society-Palmerstown-21st July-12:40pm

a post punk

Hi Lads
Next outing is Palmerstown.I have only played here once before 4 or 5 years ago and can't really remember the full course, but I do remember it being a nice course.We are pulling back upto the centre of the country so hopefully the numbers will bounce back for this 1!
Just a bit on the course from the Hooked Bible.......
The main feature of the course is water!!:eek::eek:Thirteen holes with water in play to be exact.To add to that big bunkers to catch the stray shots.
A top parkland course that looks great to the eye aswell.
A good few lads have a bit of work to do to make the ryder jug team at the end of the golfing year with only 3 counting competitions left to play beforehand.
Some of the usual big hitters will make the next outings count,i have no doubt:):)
The cost on the next outing is 60 to visitors,45 to members and 40 to members who played Mitchelstown as this was to subsidise the more expensive courses(palmerstown is costing us 50)
See ye all in 3 weeks and enjoy the brilliant weather we are getting.It feels like we are playing golf out in portugal the last 2 weeks:pac::pac::pac:

Thanks golfgraffix

Seve OB

i'm all lined up and ready to tog out for this one but at the 10th hour it appears there is someone trying to throw a spanner in the works here.

that's the 10th hour... time to sort it out yet!

Seve OB

this is a looonnnnnggggggg course guys. big hitters will have an advantage... but only if they are straight because it is tight and punishing

paulos53

I did a search for the thread on our last outing to Palmerstown and indeed the winner that day is a long and straight hitter.
A few of the long term members might remember him: A fella named stevieob :pac:

benny79

Played it off the Black Tees a few weeks ago on Black Sunday what a beast! was actually going well too.. Just ran out of energy, steam, feelings in my legs and scratched the last 4 holes

There was 60/70 yards between the black and whites Tees on some holes!! :eek: course was in super nick cant wait to go back! never got my 2's money either, rang 2 or 3 times (bad form really) but I'll be saying it to them! didn't even want to enter it!

long maybe, but not always straight. I think I had 36 that day and also had the longest drive on the last hole which obviously passed on to next best in line. I think I made a mess of the approach and was lucky to finish with a 6.

looks dodgy now that I will be able to defend my crown

ballyk

Any chance I could get an early (ideally first) tee-time as I have another engagement that evening? Thanks Captain.

charlieIRL

Same here if that's ok?

Good thinking. I played this course two weeks ago and it took well over 5 hours.

I've played it loads of times
It's long & tough, but basically a flat course.
No reason at all to take 5 hours. 4:15 is more than enough to get around here

charlieIRL

Are we in 3 or 4 Balls Captain?

a post punk

Hopefully 3 balls I will ring the course Monday to confirm. Any suggestions on nearest the pin and longest drive?

davegilly

Nearest the pin has to be 10!
Long drive either 11 or 18.

Break80

Can I have first tee time as well please Captain.
I need to be home on the same day if possible.

Agree, 10 great hole for NTP and I would go with 18 for LD

There is no good reason why any round of golf should take more than 3 1/2 hours. I'm just relaying my experience

some courses are longer than others. some courses have distances between greens and tees which could equate to the length of a hole in itself. a fourball will take longer than a 3 ball, which in turn will take longer than a 2 ball. maybe from your experience, you play alone? sometimes golfers are just crap.

It's a common mistake to think it's crap golfers looking for balls that causes slow play. It isn't. It's all the faffing around on teeboxes, people leaving bags on the wrong side of greens, marking cards before leaving greens, walking off teeboxes as if they are joined at the hip, then looking for other people's balls before looking for your own. When last I played Palmerstown it was all of the above. I waited to play every shot because those in front did most of those things.

I agree. But all those things along with all the things I mentioned add up.

Take it all out of it, Palmerstown is still a long track and unless you are playing alone with nobody in front of you, its going to be pretty hard to get around in 3:30 as you pointed out

a post punk

Nearest the pin on 10 and longest drive on 18 as advised lads and second by palmerstown. We are playing off the greens and in 3 balls depending on final numbers. I will post the tee times when I get confirmation from a few lads.

Lads there’s a society in front of us so otherwise it would have been a 2 ball and all 3’s after that. We’ll keep the pace up as usual like the last few outings:)

You've clearly forgotten my awesome 7 pts on front 9 in rosses?

Coming back from injury hopefully i be able to complete the 18 holes;).
dos'nt feel like just under five years since i last tee it up here with fixit, seve , scubapro. Hitting the driver straight is the key i remember to scoring well around here.

benny79

Tiger for the win!!

Some memory. I can't remember who I played with that day but I'm certain that scubapro was not one of them.

It was losing out on that lovely colour tv your picked up that stamped it on my memory, it toke me nearly four years to get over that .
Definitely fixit was part of fourball ( i remember him doing a ian poulter from the middle of the par 5 six hole). It could of being charlie instead of scubapro.

No you have (as Christy says in his Rose song) a memory like a supergrass. Remembering things that never even happened at all

I looked it up, I played that day with kkeliher, dwd and holeinone.

Seve OB

Good luck today lads. Raging I can't be there. Still down in Mount Juliet with the family, heading home after lunch. As close as I got to a game of golf was the fabulous kids club here who bring the young ones down to the range for a golf lesson, so we snuck a look
