Congratulations (or should I say commiserations
) Captain.
Its a great list of courses, agreed Bluenote, a few that I had lined up from my year that got side-tracked so will be nice to get to them. Will also be nice to hopefully not have to sprint on to the first tee at the first outing of the year in Portmarnock!!!
Best of luck for the year, you'll have plenty of help from the committee to keep things running smoothly and hopefully we get to something resembling normality sooner rather than later into the year.
To reiterate what Break80 said, new members are always welcome, and you won't regret it. As my wife says when I head out, enjoy your day with the weirdos off the internet. I always do, haven't had a bad day out with the society. And don't have any fears if you're good, bad or terrible at golf, we have a broad spread of abilities and experience, but have one thing in common, we love golf, and a bit of craic.
@Bluenote, I wouldn't have any worries about taking a place from anyone, we generally try to get enough spaces to cover all-comers. As long as there is plenty of notice, its usually manageable. What I would say is that, people who pay up the €30 membership will get prioritisation of tee times, if the numbers are tight. So, if you've paid your €30, it doesn't matter whether you attend 1 or all outings.
Apologies for a slight sidetrack, but one slight hangover from last year was that the 2020 GOTY competition was never closed out due to lockdowns, so we were 1 event short.
I was thinking, if people are open to it, that event 1 of the year would be a double event. For those who paid up their sub last year, who want to enter the final GOTY event, they could enter their score in both.
By my last calculation, I think that there were, technically 18 golfers who could theoretically win the overall prize (it would take bizarre turn of circumstances for some to win, but stranger things have happened). I can list those out as they may be the only ones interested in throwing their names into the ring for this suggestion0 -

Best of luck for the year break80, a great list of courses and great to see a fellow Corkonian take the post
!!There is 4 on the list that I haven’t played and always look forward to the new ones personally. Having played Enniscrone for the first time last year we are in for a treat ( you haven’t seen sand Dunes like it before ) a real test when the wind is blowing!!
Agree with you on doubling up the first event space.
Here’s to 2021 being a better year

Good luck break80, and looking forward to getting back out with the society this year. Some great courses, though all a long way from my new house in Waterville (so if everything). Will still do my best to make it to all courses though.
Good idea on the doubling up as well. Nice to get last years finished.
Speaking of last year, I still have a metal rod in the boot of the car that belongs to you if I remember correctly for a long drive marker 0 -

Dream the dream
Great to see all the Boards lads back in a wet and windy east coast of Dublin. The weather acted up - but was still a great day on a great course.
Woke up this morning and it was like a dream with a slight hangover, delighted with my first Boards outing win - after many years of trying and only a few top 3 places - lost a few times on countback. I've known for a good while now I'm crap - but never give up. WHS has seriously put manners on the handicaps this year.
I'd like to thank my playing partners - Benny (always a shocking hilarious story) - Tiger (always good for the bet) and the good man himself (break 80) one of the few sound Cork men out there. First time I won a fiver from Tiger - as he would never play me for one before.
39 pts - with 9 lip outs - an eagle - nearest the pin and a 4 hour round and 9 pints after in the clubhouse. Was beaten by 2 yards on the long drive by the new lad (BigFúckoffDriver - I think is his user name) with a 54 inch driver (seriously lads what is the society rules on this ****) , he was sticking a towel on it on 10 - to check wind direction. Like, come on!
In the clubhouse some dude was saying that there was a virus somewhere in China and it will shut the whole country down / golf and pubs. He had me going for a while - but laughed so hard when he said pubs would be closed in Ireland:D:D
Benny was saying after, that he is thinking of getting Blades - I jokingly asked him " have you got that virus your man was on about"
Catch all at next outing - enjoy the good days lads - you just never know what is around the corner.
Fair play Golfgraffix getting the 18 in - and Space for wearing them trousers in public.
Catch all again - "All the pubs closing for a year":D:D:D - the characters you meet at these outings.
Head cases / eccentrics and extremists - got to love it.0 -

I remember that headbanger on about the china virus in the bar after.
Thankfully I left after 7 pints of creamy Guinness as I had a long drive back to Cork.
Great Company as always with Benny and Tiger and of course Fix.
That story on the 10th tee from Benny had me in stiches.
I will give him a year and see does this clean living and celibacy is everything he said it would be.
As usual I had to hand over the fiver to Tiger.
I don't mind to be honest when he told me the price of his new clubs.
Another 200 payouts from me will cover the cost of the driver.
We can start on the irons after that.
Fix. Don't be upset.
I had a complaint from the greenkeepers about pitch marks after our round.
They said it's acceptable on the course as they saw you replacing them every time but they recommended you alter your angle of attack when you have the putter in hand.
Something about too much practice on the beach.
I will update the GOTY in a few weeks as I am heading off to Portugal on a golf trip Tuesday for 2 weeks.

Yea but you cheated. That ball couldn’t have been plugged on the 14th, sure the man in the moon saw it take a bounce.FixdePitchmark wrote: »Dream the dream
