So my first Boards outing in Esker Hills – very welcoming and very well organised by captain and committee. Sorry for inadvertently joining into a committee meeting and not knowing it was a meeting (lol). Nobody impolite enough to tell me to “F%ck Off” .
A great course and you can see why Shane turned out to be such a versatile golfer, every shot in the bag can be played in Esker Hills. Thanks for the two lads CharlieIRL and Thinks Too Much for the guide around the course– the two lads hit solid balls. Charlie showed me great lines, but he has his own way of going around some of the deltas on the course. We all had great holes at some stage.
It is a difficult course and Rickylovesyouall , that is in the Gods - that scoring around there. You were bang on, it is accuracy not distance – I learned this all too quickly on the way around.
One of the lads was saying, he told his partner that he is meeting lads online to play golf, she told him , “but what if they are mad”. The truth is in that somewhere. There were accents from the south and midlands and Dublin - a worrying rumour that there is no Internet West of the Shannon.
So we are all golf mad, golf injuries and time issues and babies and wives and trying to fit it all in. We have found people online, who first of all play golf, secondly read and write about golf, thirdly have friends that don’t all play golf. It is just great, a new world, a bit of a laugh.
So onwards and upwards, back out searching for the answers, to our golfing dreams and questions.
At 1800 hrs on the M4, snow started to fall – a perfectly timed day, one to remember.

In relation to the committee meeting all voices are heard its not a closed shop and open to everyone so no one would of told you to sling your hook
Now onto the business end of things your drive off the first tee ,
I reckon you were about 280 yard of a carry on that first tee and you went flying into the bushes from the tee , it was a monster of a drive

Lol our technical guru.
N.a. green tees - nobody on boards hits 300 yrd drives.
A weather station error.0 -

2nd one went out too, lol. That is brain dead.
Me bad back is great for driving (All over Offaly). No more talk of that.
Thanks again Pete.0 -
now that I'm back from the christening I can actually post, but not a big one because we're just on a break before we go out again, lol
First of all big thank you to Ben1977 and Reganovski! We had mighty craic all the way around. Also, keep an eye out for both of them in future outings because they are incredible hitters of the golf ball. I thought Regan in particular was going to challenge me for the gross to start with
I didnt play great, but I scored well! That was really how it went down from my perspective
birdied the 1st and made a couple of great up and downs to keep me 1 under for the first 4, but then I bogeyed 5,6 and 7 and thought it was going to be one of those days, but made another great up and down on 8 and then made a ridiculous putt for a birdie on the 9th and I was still only +1 for the front 9.
Picked up another couple of good birdies on the back 9, but had a scatter of stupid bogeys in there aswell.
Overall had a really great day out and I cant wait to get down to Thurles in a months time!
When charlieIRL text me to congratulate me on my score, I thought I might have snuck the gross prize. Very surprised to hear that I had won the competition outright.
Forward tees and perfect conditions, I really expected a couple of 40's to have come in, but I'm delighted to win!
Let this be my acceptance speech
Looking forward to playing off 3 for the next outing, lol 0 -

Thanks Lads got the company, really relaxing. Rickylovesuall showed us how the game should be played today. Doesn't matter how long you hit it, it still has to get into that small hole.
38pts is a great score.
Great course, thanks to the committee again for the organisation.
They even have the power to change the weather!!!0 -
