Gambino,

Us mere mortals are in awe of you. God help the Kavanaghs with you as a front for their new club. Your condescending tone has started to bore me. You are obviously close to people in the know and your drip feeding of info is painful, more next week!!!!

Well isn't that a shame. You sound more annoyed than bored but I'll take it.

I was going to say more but feck, we'll let events unfold and facts emerge and then we might be able to see what has really been going on around here - and who is to be trusted.

Meanwhile the recruiting sargeants and their wee drummers from other clubs better hurry up. Time is short.

So the New club is called The Lisheen Springs & Country Club...............

Where have you heard this??? Good idea if true, Southcounty is a bad product now.

Love it, they forgot to tell Gombino they changed the name.

They were going to call it after me but I wouldn't let them.

Pat K was in favour of keeping it. The others thought better of it and probably correctly. Too much baggage.

Both clubs or just the ladies? I thought the men's wouldn't be through until next week.

Have the GUI changed their rules on affiliation?

Why ask me? Don't you know I just make stuff up?
Better ask Ariel - he gets all his info in the pub so he could ask the guy beside him. Makes sense don't you think?

Bambino, just because you are sitting in your hovel beside a sour pussed mare who won't let you watch football don't be jealous us pub dwellers are out. Your the one on the inside😉😉😉😉😉

Gombino that's some business plan-a handful of members til the end of the year. You'll certainly be up there in the prizes for the best shortsighted plan category. I wonder how long it will take that to sink in with Pat and Johnny. looks like the next round of expulsions is coming down the tracks!
I do wish the Kavanaghs the best and I'm sorry they appear to be getting some very bad advice.
This club might have had a chance if everyone pulled together, embraced all members past and present, worked through differences and put old gripes behind. so yes a sad end to a 10 year venture and another blow this week. Time to move on. RT
Your style and ding's is to get rid of anyone u don't like -seems like a great committee in the making!
By the way has ding gone to ground? He didn't answer my earlier question

If the wonderful members of the old club had pulled together, honoured their commitments, and concentrated on playing golf instead of faction fighting, none of this need have happened. I had no role in the old club except as a golfer and I'll have exactly the same role in the new one.
The Kavanaghs may not be "golf people"but they are not stupid. If people in here took the trouble to find out what is actually going on, instead of getting their information in the pub or re-enacting battles already lost, they might have a better feel for what might happen over the next year or two.
Time for the children to leave the stage. The next act is for grown ups only.

Gents, Can we change the tone and focus on the facts? Now that we have the Lisheen Springs Golf and Country Club(LSGCC) and presumably this will incorporate equine sports. Can we take it that horses will be galloped around the sand dunes and that a golfer will be able to hire a horse rather than a buggy? How about a horse and buggy - no need for batteries? How about a horse as a caddy? Seeing that the "South County Experience" failed as a concept then this new innovative Lisheen Springs Experience looks like it will succeed.

Gombino,

Your assumption that all info is gathered is gathered in the pub just about sums you up. The fact that most of us are not as close to the Kavanagh's is a disadvantage. You have been able to drip feed us info from the start which indicates a relatiobship with the Kavanagh family. If your goal was to get rid of unwanted members I feel you have succeeded. The club appears to be heading for a new dictatorship with a merry band of followers, best of luck to you all. I feel you will not get the numbers required to make it a success. I do know some people willing to give it a go, so best if luck to them.

"Drip feed"? Its been an evolving situation - how else could it be "fed"?

Here's how to get as close a relationship with the Kavanaghs as I have:

Take the N81 to Brittas, turn left at Lisheen Rd, then in the gates and up the hill to the club house. Walk in, introduce yourself and have a civilised chat with whichever member of the Kavanagh family might be there. Hey, you could even have a game of golf while you are there.

I hope they take on board my suggestion of a chreche - to be named the South County Room.

So big-headed...now you want your own room?

Gombeeno,

You keep asking people to be factual. Here are a couple of facts which you have conveniently ignored, or perhaps you were out of the loop in the old South County, and given your attitude on this forum I'm amazed you weren't on your own on the timesheet each week.

Anyway, time for some reality. The main reason so many shareholdere decided to forego their investment in South County was their dislike of the way the board were running the show, including trying to dictate in every area of the club's affairs, for example, the day to day running of the mens club, which was the responsibility of the mens committee and nothing to do with the board. This was all driven by the one individual who, although he worked extrememly hard to save the club over the past few years, was a total bully. This was complemented by two other board members who became very confrontational towards members who dared to suggest anything that they didn't agree with.
