Should it be retained? Should it be on at the same time in the calendar? Should the format change? Was there any cheating?
HITMANHEALY wrote: » I see who ur talking about now. I think the competition will be retained as there were alot of people prasing the competition it does suit the high handicap teams by a mile, it is a great competition and i look forward to it every year in kildare and dublin. It will the same time next year i say no point of changing it as its before all the championships and makes sense. The format will stay the same, i had an idea about senior/inter/junior playing together dont think there many into that when i spoke to a few on the saturday after the game. Thats one thing we will never know - didnt see many people walking around taking count of scores so u would nt know
Kingdom wrote: » Thanks Hitman good response. About the qualifiers from Dublin. Some strange ones there! I wonder will Derek be doing a book now that he's not in it? I think its going to be a very open championship. This Sunday is a big deal too, there are quite a few players around coming into a bit of good form. Can't wait for the draw now!

I hear he is in a bit of form too from what I've been told. He got the first 14, then finished 1,2 for rd 1 then got the next 7 in his match in the matchplay qual. Missed his first putt on the 8th hole in the 2nd round! Anyway I'm heading to Bridgets this evening, I'll let ye know what its like tomorrow.

As for the others well done! Strong enough Cork contingent. Some new comers who would not have qualified before. Most of the big guns got through and they are all hitting form now going by the local scratch cups. John Walsh beating Chris Scannell on the last night was always going to be a toss of the coin.

I've been lucky this is my 4th time in it, I've had one tough first round one average first round and a very handy one. It really is luck of the draw. There are that many good players in it though, have to see what happens. Does anyone have an idea for practising Glenville? I'd only be able to practice in the a.m. with working in the evenings. 1 game Sat, 3 Sun and 2 on Monday if you're good enough! It should be a great championship though a superb course with great facilities. Hopefully the weather will be decent. I was thinking of going up to Glenville to watch the draw Hitman, I heard it was excellently produced in Stackallen last year, it really is a positive step by the union. When is the draw for the Leinster matchplay on? Sure thats on next week.
Kingdom wrote: » Ger you have a nice one. Have you played with Ju before? He can be hard to play with, particularily if he's doing well. Anything that is perceived as slow play he will mention. Just block him out. Having said that he's great crack and superb to have a jar with,. So thats Cahill doing the book then, which will mean good odds for us Leinsterites in the individual matches.
