Congratulations to Slave1 on a stunning win at Lucan with clever use of his short game strengths, and also a shout-out to VW1, who must be disappointed not to pick up the victory with an incredible second place score of 41pts! (It may be worth noting that Tigerwood1, who finished almost DFL, defies the statistical anomaly that having the number 1 follow your boards handle assures good performance in parkland! Lets see for this next one though?)
Our next destination is Glasson Golf Club! While seascapes dominated the earlier part of our 2023 season, we're now transitioning to a stretch of freshwater lakes and rivers for the summer close out. Lough Ree/Killenure is a personal favorite area of the Island for me, filled with many fond memories. I'm particularly excited about the par 3 17th, which plays right over a corner of the lake and is one of my favorite par 3s in the country. The course has recently undergone significant changes and should be nicely settled in for our visit.
There are rumors that some people may be staying in the local area to enjoy the lakeside scenery. I haven't booked a place for myself yet, but I might consider coming up the night before (feel free to post your plans on this thread)
This year's captain choose to compress the final three rounds into a reduced period of time. So the rounds will come at us with a little more pace, each having only three weeks turnaround in between rounds.
Clubnet is open for bookings now. The pricing for this round is €45. If you're not in you can't win.
