Boards Golf Society Outing - Esker Hills Golf Club 22nd February 10:00AM

charlieIRL · 27-01-2014 11:27AM #1

Firstly, sorry for the delay guys. We've put a good bit of effort into trying to get the best courses within reasonable travel for everyone this year.

As we had a great day out first in Esker Hill last year, we've decided to head there again for our first outing. I know we chatted about a links for the first one but with the spread of the society getting one to suit proved difficult but its something we may look at later in the year. We have booked and hour of slots but more are available before or after if we need them.

I hope to have the rest of the list of courses finalised later today, most are booked but there's one or two still to come back to me with definitive times - hence the delay in posting them.

Looking forward to seeing you all out again this year.

No need for apology as the captain and the committee are the ones doing all the hard work.
Great choice, looking forward to the start of it. Will pencil it in!

Fair dues to all involved lads, chicken curry, half and half please!
Bacon and cabbage for Charlie!

The golf may be good too

Cracking course!! I might do a bit better around it this time then last year

Great course to start with,
having played it once with a buggy, are buggy's an option.

I would expect slightly better this time around Dar, we wouldn't have been in contention even if we added our scores together that day.

Great course to start. Looking forward to it. Thanks for all the hard work that's going in lads.

And you the winner of the GOTY, you should be down to 5

FixdePitchmark · 27-01-2014 08:57PM

Hope to make this one.

Hopefully make an improvement on last year - but not looking like it at the moment.

RoadRunner · 27-01-2014 09:05PM

calendared!

Keano · 27-01-2014 10:15PM

I'm out

spacecoyote · 27-01-2014 11:06PM

Really going to try make this my 1st ever boards outing. Pretty sure I've nothing clashing around that time & have never played the course either so a perfect excuse to kill 2 birds with one stone.

Hopefully lessons will have had the desired effect & I manage to play something resembling golf on the day

scrubber72 · 28-01-2014 01:51AM

Looking good for me. Checking with missus but with this much notice should be fine.

That's basically the same as me, just need to get the permission slip sorted

shane0007 · 28-01-2014 09:27AM

Should be ok for me too. First boards society outing for me and hopefully first of many.

pinkdoubleeagle · 28-01-2014 11:02AM

Hoping to play in this. Great Choice. Lovely course, nice pint and the food is superb

BigChap1759 · 28-01-2014 01:05PM

Also looking to get involved - when do we need to confirm by?

spacecoyote · 28-01-2014 01:37PM

Just to check Charlie & the rest of the committee...

Is the plan to use Teamer to send out the invites again & do we need to confirm details?

14handicap · 28-01-2014 01:46PM

Anyone looking to sponsor some prizes for this and some of the events over 2014. I would be happy to sponsor a couple of prizes as I know a few people in the golf business that would be happy to supply some gifts in return for a little exposure. Will someone private message me about this.

Hi, all the society events are €30 for golf only as we let everyone who has time to hang around after order their own food. Having played here before I can tell you that the food is great and not that expensive either.

Going back to the €30 - this is a flat fee we charge for every event. Some courses are cheaper and some are more expensive so we are able to subsidise this when it happens. We have one course on the list this year that's considerable more but we sill hope to be in a position to subsidise most of the balance. This is our way of rewarding the members of the society.

ballyk · 28-01-2014 10:44PM

Great choice for the first outing. Location is good for most and the course is one of the driest parklands around. Looking forward to it! Only one round played so far in 2014 so I'm hoping that will change before this outing.

Never! More like being still drunk and drinking...have a stag that weekend

Ben1977 · 29-01-2014 10:37PM

Just found out the boss is going out on the 22nd. Can't complain she has organised it since before Christmas.

kkelliher · 30-01-2014 08:41PM

After two seasons of dipping in and out this has to be the one where a sustained challenge for the ryder jug team has to happen. Looking forward to the year ahead already

Golfgraffix · 30-01-2014 08:51PM

I am in for the 22nd

And we will do the same gig for The GOTY prize
