Woodstock beat Ennis to go to North Munster final weds week in Doonbeg.

absolute bunch of bandits is all i'll say. Bring in a bunch of North Clare lads to boost there team :pac:

Say they could go failrly far. Good experience in the competition and can clearly play golf.

The final was mallow V blarney. Blarney won it

Does anybody know if the winners of this competition or any other like it (like the Bruen,
or Junior Cup) at a national level get their handicaps cut at the end of it?

That's right, the annual review system. And what a system. It's a green light for all those clubs that want to keep their successful teams together year after year. The fixed cuts really are the way to go. In our place, lads get cut standard amounts every year for performance in Winter League, Golfer of Year, the various matchplay events, without any regard for how it might affect their chance to play in teams etc. I know most clubs are probably the same, but there are enough out there that are not so true to the spirit.

Any of you going to Wicklow this Saturday for qualifying?

Yeah and looking forward to it too. Played there good few times the last year, good to go around a track your familiar with.
The 6th tee should be interesting if wind blowing against ya off the blues:D

Great picture, 220 yards Tiger carry, 200 if you go at palm trees in distance.... I have frozen over that shot once or twice;)

Course in top notch condition, few new longer tees on 15 & 16 have made it harder and 10 bunkers redesigned with proper drainage/sand etc..really improves their respective holes...

greens in good condition ...just hope recent wet weather doesn't slow them down too much!

I won't be playing, too low this year...

Glenmalure going for 3 yrs in a row, not bad for a club with 50 members:D

Yeah the palm tree is the line , still a test for the nerves all the same as you say.
Was there few weeks back and was in great condition alright.
That's a good record for the club, what happened to the rest of the members, die of exhaustion ?:D
1st time playing in a Inter club comp so hope to enjoy it, gotta start somewhere!

Had practice round there today, greens are lethal, think I heard someone say they were running near 12 on the stimpmeter. Looking forward to Saturday and hopefully Sunday.

Purcell qualifier in Wicklow is off the whites - so anyone teeing off on the even holes can breathe a sight of relief

Ah that's a shame and at the same time a relief!
Potential nightmare as ya be giggling to yourself watching the other lads knees shaking but ball could smack off the cliffs edge and into the sea and up to you then to try and get across and that could end up in disaster also
