The one in Finglas is also close enough by, but there's not much info on it online. Might head down to Shandon sometime soon for a game and check it out. I take it only very few clubs are linked to the PP union? The likes of elmgreen and tolka valley courses (the only ones i know!) aren't listed anywhere.

Since I only joined there on Sunday I am not entirely sure of my privileges at this point, next time I'm up I'll have a chat with one of the more experience lads and if its cool with them for me to sign you in then by all means you can come up with me. I'd advise just dropping up one evening that you want to play though, they are very welcoming up there and I am sure would allow you to play a round if you are thinking about joining, there was a very good crowd there last night with the good weather.

Managed to get 36 holes in. 3 over for the first 18 and then 2 under for the second round. RE Shandon: Draupnir, do you have to be a member to have a game or would i be able to drop round and pay on the night? Might head down for a game one night this week. Also, how much would it be?

Very straightforward draw, the only tough match potentially is Billy Buckley and Larry Maher. As far as I know the two cork lads meet on the last night. I'll check again though,

Draupnir wrote: » The course is in excellent condition, much improved even over when I last played there about 8 years ago. The greens on the back nine were being cut when I arrived and I played three rounds, a +4, an even and a +1. As you can tell, it wasnt playing that hard but the greens were watered between my second and third round which really made putting harder. I see that the senior leinster qualifying is there on the 27th, I'll hopefully head up to watch so if any of you guys are around for it I might see you there. Picked up some Commandos on Elvery Sports online, I think I could use all the backspin I can get for the next few months!

Kingdom wrote: » Hitman you have a good draw. I'd be surprised if you weren't playing on the last night for a place in the finals. DCBS is a tough course. Very open, greens are tricky. There should be more qualifying on there as its neutral. I'd advise practising it, cause if the wind blows well Derek Courtney is in a tough draw, I'd say half of ireland is hoping he's knocked out! Did you see the Cork draw? JJ Walsh has Chris Scannell.

Took a bit of getting back into but I really enjoyed it, looking forward to getting up there again this week and getting some decent scores on the board. Does anyone know where Commando's can be bought? I've only got one left from my youth and hitting the odd Wilson tonight didnt give me great confidence in standard golf balls actually sticking to a green thats 5 feet in radius!
