Don't write off Crumlin (off topic)

Looking forward to the weekend lads. Sam is safe at home in Dublin so we can give them a bit of stick in Kerry.

Any idea if there is a range at Dooks??

no range in Dooks from what I remember, there is a net 40 yards or so behind the first tee.

Congratulations to AlanM on doing the Captains Prize and GOTY double, Thanks to Captain Benny for a great year and a brilliant Captains weekend and all the boardies for making it a great year..Roll on next year guys and gals

I would like echo what I sure many Society Members think. It was an excellent year with some great courses and a lot of passion shown by our outgoing Captain Benny who tirelessly worked all year to have everything run as smoothly as it did. It was also fantastic to see the new members that joined this year and I just hope they had a great time
We were unlucky yesterday with the weather and I would just like to state I have never played in such atrocious conditions. I wasn't 100% before the round and I'm absolutely dying since yesterday with aches and pains in every joint. Fair play to everyone that completed their rounds and especially those that scored well enough to place / win. I've spent the last few hours sorting out the mess that was my clubs, bag and gear which is now spread around the house drying out.
Kudos to AlanM in completing the double which is a great achievement.
Finally Best of Luck to next years Captain Space who no doubt will bring a new dimension to his term much like his dancing.

PS...... Now to research a replacement trolley.

My only feedback after year one is I suggest new members should be given +3 Golfer of the Year points as an introductory bonus;)

Was it that close in the end ?

That was epic rain - Seve, Doublecross and myself, at times felt like crying or laughing. We all did ok under the conditions. Some great golf at times - considering. A bogey was a good score. A par excellent , a bird unreal.

I have been travelling around Ireland a bit lately and basically went to Kerry not too well prepared for that type of rain. In fairness could you ever deal with rain like that ?

But I think I've fallen back in love with our little country again - what a stunning place Ireland is - and that part of Ireland is unreal. What a course - not that we seen it properly , but I will have to go back.

But such is life , long distance traveled, last day. You just had to go. Starting out in torrential downpour and no real let up till 15/16. It is rare I play in rain.

Fantastic stuff from Alanm to win everything on the day. Trophies / prizes hanging out of him.

Then we hit the tiles. Benny ending the year in proper Benny style - fun, singing, laughter, and a bit crazy :
You did a great job Benny and it was the relaxed fun atmosphere that made the year.
Best of luck Space, a fantastic pick for captain.

Was great to catch some old friends last night , old stories and new. Chats less about golf and more about life. The ups and downs , the good days the bad - the sunny days the wet.

Not sure where society or my golf is going next. But there in that stunning low land between mountains and sea - there was just something totally stunning about it. It certainly is as a sight on a golf course I will not forget.

Thanks all.
