Boards Golf society Portmarnock Hotel & Golf Links Feb 23th 12.00pm

benny79

Ladies & Gentleman it gives me great pressure to announce the first outing for the Boards society for 2019.....

Situated on the shoreline of a rugged peninsula, The Links Portmarnock was the first golf course that International Management Group (IMG) developed in Ireland and opened for play in 1995.
It was therefore fitting that Bernhard Langer chose this magnificent setting to design his first links course being a three time winner of the Irish Open at nearby Portmarnock Golf Club and The Royal Dublin Golf Club. Along with architect Stan Eby they designed a course that is a challenge for all golfers, set in the grounds of the old Jameson Estate of St. Marnocks, the course has played host to professional and amateur events including 2008 and 2009 Ladies Irish Open
The recent investment programme by new owners Kennedy Wilson includes, upgraded machinery, extensive upgrades of the course, the creation of a short game area, riveting of traditional links pot bunkers, grass pathway and enhancements that make full use of the dunes and natural terrain.

The fee for this one is €50 for members & €60 for guests

#Please note this is the last Saturday of the month & not the usual 3rd#

Teamer invites should be gone out.

Any questions give me a shout and I would just like to thank the commitee members for all the help and advice in the background to date.

Special thanks to Golfgraffiix for getting us a big discount on the rack rate!

Your Captain

In I love this course!

Kiith

First timer looking forward to it. Course looks great, though i'd say it'll be tough.

If anyone is driving via Kildare (live in Monasterevin, but can get anywhere along the train route), that'd be great.

Hi Kiith if you can you get to Athy? I might be able to sort you out.

spacecoyote

Looking forward to it Captain. Tough but fair course would be my memory with some interesting risk reward holes.

Preference would be for a tee time towards the early end of possible.

Glebee

I'm guessing we're going out in 3balls lads?

If yes, can I book 2 lines please (me & 5 guests if that's ok?)? I've mentioned it to lads in Dublin I know & they're well up for coming along

Not sure i could get to Athy, but i could meet you somewhere along the way maybe?

Or if anyone else is coming from Dublin City, i could get there on the train.

jarrieta

That't a lot of guests! If the Society cannot accommodate that many, you might just schedule on your own. I have noticed the rates are down to 55 Euro for a special promotion on Feb 16th and Feb 23rd (Spring Swing)

new to society golf tbh. Benny explained all by pm, only put it out there to them as I'd be up that direction.

I've messaged the 3 who were proper interested to see if they fancy joining as members but if not I'll get out with them another time.

Just accepted on Teamer, looking forward to this

if you are on the train, Portmarnock station on the Dart could be an option for you and I'm sure any of the lads can pick you up from the local station there
