Scratch Cups

madds

The new season is upon us and the Scratch Cup calendar will shortly be in full swing. I've played in a handful of these over the past few years (Headfort, Naas, St. Margaret's, Dundalk, Westmanstown) with only Headfort being one where I'd make an extra special effort to play in again.

My question to you is which Scratch Cups (Junior or Intermediate) do you look fwd to each year and why?

Cool, does the club have to be your home club I suppose?
Im' a member of Portmarnock GC but its not my home club... Would'nt mind a crack at what seems to be a fantastic links...gonna take university membership there next year and would'nt mind an early preview!

Id imagine scoring is fairly high in the Lumsden? Back tees?

10. The tournament shall only be open to members of affiliated Clubs in Leinster.

That's the note in the comp rules so going by that you'll be able to enter. It's a bit of an odd scratch comp in that the top prize is for the best nett on the day.

Last Years cut off was around 5.1 I think

I can vouch for that ^^^^^

I had an emphatic pair of point ones, played fierce tough, I dunno the course so I'd say I hit at least 15 provos out there cos I didn't know if my ball was in the shit-house or not.

Very very tough though, very hilly too!

How did lads go in Carlow?
I didn't play in any Juniors because I dropped down to 4 but now back out to 5 since last night...

Well as I had already stated I wasnt playing great. Carlow was in great nick but it played very tough. My first round was a disaster and if im very honest embarrassing. I came in with a 92 nothing was happening for me. I know of a 5 handicapper who came in with a 89 so I didnt feel so bad and other guy out with me was no better. My second round was practice as it hardly mattered at that stage so it was a N/R .1 .

From reports coming back I certainly wasnt the worst and by all accounts nobody tore it up. 74 - 76 won it which was very impressive given the conditions. Nobody ever told me how hilly Carlow is ?? 2 rounds there is tough going.

ah well there is always next time

Now Woodbrook clashes with Beech Park

Well the monsoon season hit us yesterday. Had managed to get to the 12th before the flooded greens made it impossible to putt on. It has been refixed for 23rd Aug.
Full refunds given if you could not make it back.

soundsham

probably r o k i'd say
east cork isn't great and skibb is an awful track imo
only thing i heard r o k wasn't being maintained at all are you sure its on might be worth giving them a buzz

think theres an open day on sat in macroom might be worth a try,while i know cups are nice to play in those courses are not great at all

There are a few JSC's within reach of me this weekend but I can only pick one. haven't played East Cork recently and haven't been a big fan. Not played either of the others. Anybody played any of the following recently and can report back on condition particularly the greens?

East Cork
Skibbereen
Ring of Kerry

Paulusmaximus

anyone making their way to Woodenbridge this weekend to play in their Senior Scratch Cup?

Mister Sifter

Weyhey... Headfort JSC finally shows up on Golfnet!

PhilipMarlowe

Mount Wolseley is a fine course and is kept in great order... I was a member there when it opened... but the place really is all fur coat and no knickers.
Carlow is a real golf course.... stand at the back of the 12th green and take a 360 look around. No bulldozer shaped this track... magic.
Some of the planting at Mount Wolseley is plain wrong too... looks so unnatural. I know Kevin say's the 13th is his favourite hole but they planted a heap of weeping cotoneaster trees at the corner of the short dog-leg which ruined the hole... fine in a suburban garden but so out of place... well, like the rest of the place, not lacking for a money spent on it but lacking in a bit of class that would make it extra special.

Yeah am looking forward to it, never played it but heard great things about it.The lady on the phone when I was booking was very nice.She asked if I had any preference for time and I just said that I was coming from Dublin and a time after 10 would be appreciated, she said she'd see what could be done.
Fair play:)

My mate lives in Carlow so might stay down there on the Sunday night and go for a few pints after it.

Might actually check if there's any opens around there on the Saturday and make a weekend of it!
If there's no opens I might ring Mount Wolsley and have a fun round Sat avo, it's a lovely course.Highly recommended.

sounds like you have it sussed , Mount Wolsley is a savage track and should be played by anyone who gets a chance, I am reluctant to book anywhere else for this weekend cause my official handicap is 9.4 so a bad round in Carlow and I can play an open elsewhere ha.

Confidence or what
