Anyway best scores: 38 in cy for 18 long long time ago (before john had the amazing 36)
83 in cy for 36 (also a long time ago) but cy probably isn't a true reflection of capability as the course lends itself to low scoring.
I'll concede that to you Wiger, I was speculating on derek's score, I'm sure you're spot on.
Plenty other parts of me are starting to resemble an elephant too.

The kind of scoring you guys are posting up is scary! It just shows me what I need to be aiming for and practising for though! At the minute my best around shandon is 50 for 18 holes and 107 for 36!!
Then again, thats not bad for 3 months play in the last 10 years in my opinion
Draupnir,
For 3 months play your best score is quite good. Its all about consistency though, and while some of the best individual scores are excellent, the average round would be quite a few shots lower.0 -

You keep that level of practicing and you will be winning All Irelands for defo.. I would practice every Wed without fail(I never practice before this as I just relax after playing the weekend) and would play one round with 2 Balls.. 1 hour max... Practice again then on Friday evening or Sat Morning all depends on when Comp is on and same again.... Suppose I don't play as much as others but it works for me... Have to get time for the GAA aswell but I might be divorced soon if I don't win an All Ireland or so I'm told:o
I always like to hear what levels of practice or comp the top ranking players get in, and tipperman is no different in having a set routine it seems.
Tipperman are you in Nenagh now, if so what is Riverdale like and would you do most of your practising in Templemore or would you spread the love around?

James has a lot of ground to make up over 3 trials, are they all to count still? Yeah you've a tricky draw alright but these are the things that test us. Pity aboput the course being closed but I'd say you've played Collins plenty of times at this stage.
We have 3 trials left. We play 8 with 6 to count... He needs good scores in Cashel now to try and get on... He would be a savage loss to us.. He mightn't be having a good year but he would be better in that championship than a debutant especially when we are playing at home etc........You should see Larkspur, I passed that way the other day and you could play the Inter County there today.. Unreal, should have a championship there every year....
Did anyone hear of any possible clubs who are interested in hosting the Nationals next year... They normally announce them around this time of year

Spreading the love eh...
Riverdale is a nice course...It used to be very short but they bought land and developed new holes... The opening 9 are tough there as you have 6 holes over 50 but two massive shots up the hill (the 18th in hillview is only a slope compared to these two mama's). Back 9 is the old course and this is where the round is put together... Greens are always pretty good but never overly quick.. It is a course that has been very good to me in the past and but it can be scored on.... They have new teeboxes there now and the place is always improving which is nice to see...
I play a lot there alright as I am an associated member as it on my home from work... Templemore, I have only played in competition this year unfortunately...
Riverdale Scr Cup is on 13th July and they have Sen/ Inter & Junior Scr Cup so there is a lot to play for over there... Prizes are normally very good and with the Nationals coming up, good to get in some competition practice... Normally 100 play there anyway.....0 -

I'll be honest about it, I care little for the team events or the mixed competitions. Having said that they deserve to be on good courses also, as they cater for a larger proportion of the PPUI membership.
Your last line is something that I could never understand, membership of the PPUI should be a two way thing. If your club is lucky enough to be selected to host a championship of any grade, that should be that. How many times were the Leinster and Dublin Splay qual in the same course two weeks apart. Often. A club should have 18 months notice for hosting a NEC Championship. That is plenty of time.
Agree with the 18 month notice
The NEC should seek the knowlege a
Qualified Greenkeeper who in turn sets out a Programme to get this course to the highest possible standard it can be at the time of the Championship. This should be given to the Club lets say 12 months in advance of teh comp. This person then visits the club each month to ensure this programme is being carried out fully and if not then the Championship should be pulled. The money the NEC give for hosting these events is pitiful as it clubs in the region of €2-€4k to get their course right. Fertilizers, sand, servicing of machines all adds up and €500 that they give is not the way forward.....
The NEC should re-grade all the courses once again as there are courses getting Nationals ie Ryston that aren't even graded as per PPUI website.. Not good enough:mad:
Players qualify for this comps and deserve to play a course that has been prepared to the highest possible standards unlike some courses I won't mention that I have played in recent years that have held National Championships.. 0 -
