Boards Golf Society Athy Golf Club March 16th 10.45am

benny79

It doesn't take long for Athy to come to life. This wonderfully natural and moving landscape is quite open, but so nicely shaped that holes ooze individuality. Squeezing between shoulders of bunkers, between stands of trees, yet always displaying the open countryside around you. It works wonderfully. Some mounding has been introduced but it is subtle enough to add to the whole experience, rather than detract from it. You will find there is room off the tee, even if it looks otherwise.. Voted driest inland course in Leicester for numerous years in a row. This really is one of Leicester's hidden gems..

Right folks next up is Athy Golf Club..

This outing will be €35 and I look forward to seeing you all there..

Regards

Benny79..

No problem.,glad to be of service .BTW you are playing away from home from now on so staying leader will get harder but can't take anything away from your score on Port links, it was fantastic ðŸŒ️

Kiith

Should be good for this one as well. Accepted on teamer.

He did even better today in St. Andrews. The caddies had a good laugh at his handicap

And he probably lightened all your wallets in the process

On vacation this time, should be the only one i miss this year, barring an injury like last year.

Sad to miss it and want to redeem my poor performance at the last, but I will have to wait for the next one.

Looking forward to play at Athy!

Thanks in advance

Hi All,

Hope to do the timesheet tomorrow evening so if your on the fence now is the time to accept or decline on Teamer. As final numbers have to be given to the club.

Cheers Folks

Benny

spacecoyote

Earlier tee time if available please Captain

RoadRunner

OffalyMedic

Can I go out early too please benny!!

Anyone who wants to retain any sense of optimism should avoid looking at the yr forecast for Saturday

Benny, if you can arrange sunshine for Saturday, that would be fantastic

Hi Benny.
We are on the road before 8 Saturday morning.
On the slim chance the course is closed will you post as early as possible.
Save me a trip up the motorway.
Positive thinking and all that.:o:o:o

Golfnut203

Hi Benny,

Is there a time sheet for Athy? I'd like to join the Society and play Athy on Saturday. If so how do I add my name to it? New to Boards.

oh dear the weather lads on the forum are debating if we will have heavy snow or heavy rain on Sat. not looking good, hopefully it will change before then.

spacecoyote

Temperatures around Athy look to be too high for snow surely?

Certainly looks like it'll be wet early alright, but as things stand its looking to clear around mid-day, which isn't too long after we start teeing off (I'm trying to go benny's route of being an eternal optimist )

I think Benny had a little typo after 11.08 he followed it with 11.06 instead of 11.16... I'd say just work in 8minute slots from 11.08 on

Lads Im not digging all the negative messages about the weather! A few showers early morning thats it! which will probably pass by Saturday.

Athy Golf Club is the driest course in Leinster if it poured down Friday it be bone dry Saturday Its the soil it was built on but its made how dry it does be after down pours..

Kiith

I'm expecting this.

Golfnut203

Hi Golfnut203,

The timesheet is posted above. If you want to join the Society you have to PM steve ob your details. Username/name, Ph no, gui handicap if you have one. If not playing experience ie what you think you'd be off and then download the Teaner app and he will set you up on it. a handicap will then be assigned to you on the day and then reviewed after your first outing. Membership is €30 for the year and fee for Athy is €35 all payable on the day.

I have two slots available in the last 2 groups so if you think you can make it pm me and I will add you to the time sheet. but drop outs at this late stage still have to be payable to the club as all money is but into the society to get clubs as cheap as possible.. If you have any other questions feel free to pm me no hassle at all we are a friendly bunch

Regards

B

Might not be that bad lads.

Best post in days.
Stop the whinging and speculation ...... Just look forward to it. Wake up Saturday.... If it's wet, stick the wet gear on.
