Boards Golf Society (Round 6) Dundrum House Golf Club (Co. Tipperary) (16th July 1032 hrs)

FixdePitchmark

OK all - as it is summer said I'd post a reminder for next outing. This is a course we have gone to before - and very impressive layout in fairly mature undulating grounds.

It was designed by our Ryder Cup player Philip Walton. I looked a bit more into it on the forum - and It was also the location for the first ever Boards Golf Society outing. So will be interesting who posts - that was actually at that outing. This could be our 4th visit ?

Things are getting a bit clearer now in the GOTY race , and jug team race. With 3 events to go - guys outside the top 20 need to make a move here, as - guys in the team will make strong moves towards the 600 point mark.

The name of this course is a bit confusing - be careful you do not confuse it with Tip Town - stick with Dundrum and you should be fine - it is an early start and it is a good bit into Tip.

Hopefully we get near the 30 slots we have booked - time sheet will open Monday 1900 hrs (Don't forget the 2s) - and no bloody fairway finder - exhibitions - putting competitions under a bright night - drones - drinking - Reps - or getting lost in Bray.

We Might try this (Joke)

Yay, a course that's only...3 hours from me :/

I'll definitely try and make this, though not 100% sure yet. Away in Sligo for 3 days of golf the following week, so may need to do some negotiating to get away for this as well.

Seve OB

Looking forward to returning here. Lovely setting from recollection and a very nice layout.

Harcrid

Glad to see the group heading to my own home course. Just been a member there for a few years but I find it a lovely course. There are some refurb works being carried out at the moment with a few tee boxes being moved and brand new driving range being built but it’s in lovely condition. I had hoped this year to participate in the society but real life intervened unfortunately. Hopefully I might make this one if a guest spot opens. If you need any information about the place then let me know.

slave1

Only played it the once, looking forward, bring good weather

A visitor spot has come up at every outing...so we will keep you in mind ...

callaway92

Play Dundrum a lot (member in Tipperary)

Nice course - Tough course and long-ish depending on what tees you use

Enjoy it for the price because from next year prices will treble when the new hotel is ready and course refurbs are done

charlieIRL

Really looking forward to going back to Dundrum, I’ve played it twice but it’s a good few years ago now. Not an easy course but if you drive well, you will score well. Must dig out my notes and see have I any pics.

kieran.

Disappointed to be missing out on this one, but watching the big guns tee it up at St Andrews will soften the blow 😃. Enjoy.

bobster453

Tough track for those of us mere mortals who dont send the ball a mile.

But really really great course.

Tee choice will be key here.646 yds diff between blue and white overall.

953 yds between blue and green.

Looking forward to it.

FixdePitchmark

We would never be playing the blue - but on balance this year - forward tees have had a good run. It is mid July and we will likely play whites in this one. The people who want to play whites all the time - deserve at least one from tees not forward.

FixdePitchmark

Timesheet will now be live tomorrow afternoon....

Seve OB

Captains Prize is in Greystones on the 16th so I'll likely not be making the Trip to Tipp 😒

FixdePitchmark

Time sheet will be open at 1900 hrs...

Seve might struggle to make jug , big faller to LIV tour....the Sergio of the Boards team......

Seve OB

If only someone would pay me a few quid

Did you get a new putter yet. I though it was going to fly as high as the drone in Greystones . Having taken a few putts with it , I could why the urge is there.🚮

Seve OB

I love my putter.

only a bad work man blames the tools.

🤣

kev_s88

all booked in now for this. had to get the latest time possible as i've a work event on friday evening and the last thing i need is to be leaving for Tipperary at 8am on a Saturday morning with a massive hangover 🤣

RoadRunner

It looks like I'll need to miss this one :(

Golfhead65

Sorry lads, I only signed up last night and today Junior Cup match arranged for 16th, Im managing this so ill have to pull out..Played DH a lot a few years back and stayed there and its a great test of golf

zocklie

Would this be opening up to visitors? Would love to get an outing on such a nice course

Seve OB

We will review with a week to go zocklie and depending on how members fill the available slots, we will open at that stage

The Big Easy

Not looking good for me on this one, playing Druid's Heath on the Friday and it's my 40th on the Sunday, so don't think I'll be able to fit in the Trip to Tipp '22.

Sorry to miss it lads, as was looking to put in a late run for the Jug!

Really want to make Tullamore as it's one of my favourite courses in Ireland. However, it's the same day as our Captain's Prize, but I'm yet to make the final day, so there's every chance I'll be in Offaly!

Give me a shout if you want to play Tullamore any weekend or the Monday open.

benny79

The home of my first boards win 😁

You and Golfgraffix will be looking to become repeat winners there then?

Am I the only one that can claim multiple society wins at the same venue? I've 2 wins at Gowran (no doubt Seve, Tiger and CharlieIRL have multiple win venues)

Seve OB

Think I’ve won 3.

Palmerstown House

Naas

The European

I note the winner @ Dundrum the year I was captain was recycled who is not playing with us this year. I think this will be our 4th visit to Dundrum and must surely be the most played venue after Portmarnock Links

I keep meaning to review past events and summarise locations and winners. I’ll get to it soon, be interesting to browse over I’m sure

SEORG

Won't make this one...over in St. Andrews

boccy23

Sorry guys, can't make this one as on hols. Enjoy!

Kiith

Booked in for this one, and looking forward to it now. Wasn't sure i'd make it as i'm away the following week, but all good now.

Concerned2

Added myself to the timesheet. I played Dundrum about 18 years ago , I have vague memories of the course being very long. All the big hitters should be short odds for this one ! I'm just back from Holidays in Portugal so I couldn't get the time off for the last outing but I did get some warm weather golf in while I was away ☀️🏌️🍺

VW 1

Got the all clear for the day out so have booked in. Missed the last couple annoyingly, so looking forward to this one.

FixdePitchmark

All...Still 9 spots on sheet .

Could members please see can they fill them ...if not we will call out for visitors / return slots by next Wednesday...

gypsy79

First time we have a babysitter in about a year

Imagine telling her I am doing a quick spin to Tipp first

And us Dubs are brutal travellers....just look at the bogball

doublecross

Sorry, I have to withdraw. Something came up and I need to be back home early. I'd never squeeze in the 18 holes

rickis tache

Can't make this one. Typical that I have hopes to make 7 of the outings this year and so far have made 2.

No chance of making ryder jug team too.

blue note

I wasn't as ambitious, I was hoping for 5. But so far I've made 1. I'm still confident of Tullamore, I expect to make that one. And hopefully the Captain's prize if there's room.

Seve OB

Should hopefully be able to sneak away for this one now

spacecoyote

An FYI for people who may have been checking what they're likely to br playing off at the course this week, or who will be registering rounds on the day.

The course is not listed as Dundrum in the Golf Ireland app, it is named County Tipperary

SEORG

Unfortunately, I won't make this outing either as I'm away from Thursday.

Enjoy, Dundrum is a great course and a good test.

charlieIRL

It’s a dash for me Saturday too as I coach a local senior Gaelic team and we’ve a game at 8 so need to be at the pitch at 7. Should be fun. I hate not hanging around afterwards as the crack is always good and I like Dundrum.

FixdePitchmark

OK all ... a few visitors spots here...could anyone who wants to play PM me and give phone number and whs....

Time sheet will close tomorrow evening no visitos after that...

BohToffee

@charlieIRL, if it's helpful to you I'm happy to swap my slot in the first group so you get back for the match...

Looking forward to this one, missed the last outing to play horrifically in the work society so need a bit of redemption Saturday. The bag will haveore water than golf balls from the looks of the weather, it'll be needed...

bobster453

Gotta say the flybys are a great tool.Well done to all.Golfgraffix I think.

Will we get a post on how to prepare for heatwave conditions similar to the one we got for wintry conditions in Portmarnock.Roadrunner i think did that one.

Just a word of warning.This being Tipperary our weather tends to do its own thing tho hopefully it will behave this weekend.

Looking forward to seeing all.

Pity no Fixs Fairway Finder..that was good fun in Greystones.

Cheers thanks a million. I’m more than likely travelling down with slave but I’ll know for definite later on and will let you know.

appreciate the offer.

pakman

sorry I have to withdraw, the car is in the shop and looks like I might have to take it out to the back of the shed with my shotgun.

Can't remember where you're based Pakman, are you fairly close to the N7 route?

I'm out in Kilcock but its not just the transport side of things that it affects. My Saturday is now gone too sadly if you were going to offer a pick up. Cheers for the thought though. My challenge for the top spot will have to wait.

swededmonkey

Not going to make this one. Covid has finally caught me and has me over a barrell. Should hopefully be around to make Tullamore

FixdePitchmark

Anyone not making it could they please make sure they are off time sheet .

We will post final time sheet tomorrow

Kiith

Briefly thought i'd have to drop out, but all sorted now and looking forward to it ⛳️
