Dromcill wrote: » 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.

Dromcill wrote: » 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.

Dromcill wrote: » 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?

Dromcill wrote: » 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.

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?

Kingdom wrote: » 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!

Kingdom wrote: » 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.
