So what the hell am I going to do all weekend with no golf?

10/1 McGuirks and the Driving Range are jammered all weekend!

Keano · 22-03-2013 11:25PM

I'm with ya. I'm not sure our monthly medal is going ahead, I'm not down to play due to boards outing but I might check in the morning.

Ilik Urgee · 22-03-2013 11:30PM

I got my fix in today, like playing hopscotch down the fairways:eek:

charlieIRL · 23-03-2013 02:30AM

I'm going to ring every course within a 50 mile radius of me tomorrow, cant let my day pass go. I'll let you know as soon as I can

pinkdoubleeagle · 23-03-2013 06:07AM

Two courses in carton house were open on Friday and will be open over the weekend for anyone interested in getting a game

Dr_Colossus · 23-03-2013 11:48AM

Just got a text message from Luttrellstown Castle to say the course there is open today. Impressive as didn't think much parkland couses in the east would be open today Probably not much fun up to your ankles in gutter and it still misting

WillyWonka · 23-03-2013 12:43PM

Believe it or not blessington lakes opened at 12:30 today and are having a qualifying comp.

Balls plugging everywhere and mud balls on every shot.

What Plonker decided to make that a qualifier.

Is it not very damaging to open on ground like that?

Seen links on east flooded in parts, very unusual.

I'm sure the place is going to be destroyed. I have a friend up there playing and he sent me a picture of his ball and it looked like a malteser.

I can't understand it at all.

Keano · 23-03-2013 03:36PM

My home course has its first qualifying comp of the year and course is open. I was up there but it's baltic!

EvanCornwallis · 23-03-2013 03:59PM

Rain and flooding is so bad, I can't even chip or pitch out my back. We pray for your safe return Mr. Blue sky.

meath4sam · 23-03-2013 05:10PM

Played Killeen castle today greens and fairways great considering weather,bit of muck on the ball here and there but didnt plug once,bit cold but soup and bacon sambo after the ninth helped.

MisterAnarchy · 23-03-2013 06:15PM

Local course was open today but it was very wet in places .
I also noticed that there were a few guys out in buggies making complete ****e of the place .
Should be no buggies allowed from Nov-March unless the ground is firm.

slave1 · 23-03-2013 06:41PM

Just back from Moate, was in great nick, pleasantly surprised, Barton Cup match just behind us.

Out in Buggies :eek:

No respect for the course.

TRS30 · 23-03-2013 07:37PM

Just got a text to saw that our place will be open for medal tomorrow if no more rain. Either way is going to be baltic and wet. Might even be froozen early on as RTE weather just said will be well below freezing tonight.

Played Blessington Lakes today and the course was in very good nick. It had dried out really well, as it always does. Whoever made the call yesterday got it wrong but there were no problems there today.
The cold was another matter. There were rumours of penguins making an appearance.

Dr_Colossus · 27-03-2013 10:28AM

Things just go from bad to worse with snow now on the ground. Not looking great for golf over the long weekend with clubs having no chance to dry out from last weekend.

Head up Dr C, that should be the last of the rainfall/snow (precipitation if you want to get all fancy about it

) for the weekend! (We might get a little bit of downfall this evening but nothing much)

I think I've moved to the next level of golfing obsession, that being a combined obsession with the weather forecast.

I've got the Father Jack-eqse hairy hands to prove it

Same here, I'm off for a week too. Only golf I'll get is on the wii with that weather.

redzerdrog · 27-03-2013 01:13PM

40 of us due to play the k club on friday, whats the chances of getting out?

GreeBo · 27-03-2013 02:35PM

Hammering down in south dublin for most of the day....then it breaks for crazy sunshine...@ 2*C....ARGH.

ForeRight · 27-03-2013 02:42PM

Ireland throw away 2 points last night followed by snow and no golf the next few days. Property tax letter in the door this morning after the tv licence yesterday.

Went to heat the baby's bottle there earlier and the microwave isn't working.

My car battery isn't taking a charge and the car won't start to go out and get the shopping.

I'm in work on nights tonight what's the chances I get a belt of a bus on my way in running?

Must do the lotto actually.

Some friendly advice: Pay your TV licence by DD, it costs the exact same excelt split out by the number of months in the year so makes no sense to pay it up front!

As for the weather, i am hoping to get out this evening after work, have brought two pairs of everything though so will prob look like the Michelen man swinging the club! Been quite dry in Cork for last couple of days so courses should have drained by now but not muich drying there(as the mother would say):D

Great day for golf at Mt Juilet. Played well enough, snowing on 11th amazing sight.

Ilik Urgee · 27-03-2013 09:44PM

Just lining up the layers for tomorrow. Hope to God the sunny south east lives up to it's name!! It'd skin a donkey's balls out there at the minute
