Yep, I am playing in the Junior section too. It is my first time playing in a Munster Strokeplay final so I do not know what sort of score normally would win. Going by the qualifying in Cork for the Junior section, 4 under was the leading score. I would say that if you could shoot 4 under for the 36 holes in ESB that you would be in with a great chance. As far as I know there are no local ESB players palying inthe Junior finals so that eliminates the home advantage factor.

its my 1st munster final 2 so it should be gud. im playing faily well at d min, thats good so that there isnt any home advantage. will d greens be holding? do they have a sprinkler system at esb?

Not sure if they have a sprinkler system at the ESB but the greens are always receptive there. The course tends to hold water so there should be no problem stopping a good pitch to any of the greens.

Hey clare rd welcome!
Have to say I love your course. Played it one day about 5 year ago (same yr Munster Inter county was there) and thought it a fine course. Best of luck in ESB.

Hi GerCPM, I have not heard any Cork results yet but will try to find out for you. I know there have been lots of no shows. There has been lots of contraversy about the National Matchplay. Apparently (opening a can of worms here) some of the top players have paid out of their own pockets for other senior players from their own clubs to enter the National Matchplay (who then will not show up) so as to boost the entry numbers. The idea being that the more that enter, the more that will qualify (1 in 7/8) for the finals. Never realized these competitions were treated so seriously. Have you heard of this being done in other counties?

No thats absolutely shocking.

I heard there was hassle over other things too. Anything you can clear up?

I look forward to doing battle with you Clare rd. I have no great expectations myself. As HITMAN says, I am just going to enjoy the experience. No point putting pressure on yourself. It is only a hobby after all. Playing a bit inconsistent myself. One round will be under par and the next struggling to get level par. Thats the beauty of the game I guess. Heading to Lucan Friday afternoon for the National Scramble finals. Looking forward to playing the Lucan and R.G.S.C courses as from this stickie they are in good condition.

Good stuff clare rd. I was told that ye were losing the course not too long after I played it. Is that still the case? I played another Ennis "course":o One Mile Inn, we travelled by bus all the way down for a scratch cup about 9 yr ago, man that was a shytehole.
Its a long way to go for a scratch cup but I'll have more scope to travel next yr and clare road is one for the list, do ye usually get a good crowd?

cheers for that Hitman. I've highlighted who I'm going for. Not out of spite, just a bit of bedevilment! Some decent matches there and a couple of one sided ones too. I wasn't expecting your group to work out as it has.

Not the list of qualifiers everyone in the capital would have expected.

ya we all thought it was going but we will get next year out of it before it will become a 9hole course. cheers on the spellcheck, ya that course is gone now, it was a terrible place. ya we usually get an ok crowd, like 70-100. depends what is on the same day elsewhere.

Good luck with the exams too man! Also good luck to all those playing the weekend in Dublin. If nothing else, ye'll get to play on two of the premier courses in the country.

I wasn't slagging your spelling (my own and grammar can be brutal at the best of times;)) I wasn't sarcastically referring to the said shytehole as a course. Which it wasn't. What I do remember is me and my clubmate got absolutely wicked drunk in the pub after the 36 holes. We were playing with a guy called Billy Griffin, who was completely sound, but about 2 weeks before Ace Ventura had been released with the immortal lines "Oh, Billlllly!". Needless to say it was a source of humour everytime mr griffin shaved a hole. We were 17. You wouldn't have guessed!

Ye its ur opinion, there were not many shocks just the way the draw went, stephen took a 4 on the 37th hole against arron, it was a bad chip to leave him a 8 foot for par.

Derek and Philip get through they be looking to go far in the competition cause of the home advantage.

I expected to get to the final night wasnt sure who i was going to play and didnt really care who i got.

Well I didn't want to offend anyone who I might be in regular contact with!

I don't care who gets through really, although I'd love Dave Redmond to qualify, as far as I know he's never qualified for it.
Best of luck to everyone involved tonight!

kinda figured that.Was only taking the piss.Anyway have to agree with you about Dave.Didn't know he had never qualified.He has been at more matchplay finals then I've had hot dinners (I don't eat that much anyway).It would be great to see him play in one,Especiallly in Dublin.No offense to paddy but it's not the hardest game of the night.
