The best score after Round 1 was 71 which gave the leader a 4 shot lead heading out in the afternoon but unfortunately he signed for an NR having turned +7 after 9 holes and then losing a ball on the 17th. All in all a good day but a little disappointing that we had a number of no shows (including 3 from Royal Dublin) and no phone calls to let us know they weren't coming. Glowing reports from all of the competitors I spoke to regarding the presentation of the course even if one or two pin positions caused some problems. Our resident Scot, Graeme1982, who was first on the course with his buddy from Elm Green, managed to complete both 18's in a little over 3.5 hours each. Hope you enjoyed your day Graeme and good to meet you.

jampotjim wrote: » It wasn't that heavy at all as I was out and was a light drizzle most of the time.. suppose it being up a tad higher might of got hit a tad harder.. No sign of a message then or did they not get the numbers as I would say some people would be pretty pissed after drving up to it..
Graeme1982 wrote: » No point if you're playing... it's now a certainty to be rained off. I've virtually no chance of getting the time off to play the matchplay so not much point. I would've played the Sunday only, but €25 to play Clontarf? No chance.
