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

scrubber72 · 10-02-2014 11:18AM

I take it use if a golf buggy won't be a problem as i hear that esker is quiet hilly, i carry a bag and won't use a trolley since it wrecks my back. Will it be first come first out as in use at other outings also?

charlieIRL · 10-02-2014 11:29AM

Two of us carried bags in Esker yesterday and it was no problem at all!! Even though the course was dry buggies weren't allowed out.

spacecoyote · 10-02-2014 03:04PM

So the boss (read missus) has threatened my life if I even contemplate doing something on the 22nd, so had to change my yes to a no for this.

Really annoyed as was looking forward to meeting a few more boardsies & playing a course I'd never played before.

Unfortunately, fear of the hell my life would be if I went has to trump the loss of not playing.

Sorry lads. I'm sure you'll have a great day out

charlieIRL · 10-02-2014 03:24PM

That's a pity, there's 7 more so get the permission slips in!!

That's the plan. Have all the fixtures been listed yet?

millerj · 11-02-2014 10:37PM

I wont know until the weekend if I can make it or not. When do you need to know by? Hoping I should be okay

scrubber72 · 15-02-2014 07:28PM

Was just looking at the weather forum and the long range forecast doesnt look great. What is the usual practice of letting members know if the outing is definitely going ahead or not? Really hope thats not jinxing the day;)

Keano · 15-02-2014 08:21PM

Decision would be made on the Thursday and a text sent out

gymman39 · 15-02-2014 09:31PM

Played esker today and while its soft its still in great shape after all the rain so it will be only frost that will stop it going ahead..

How much would this be for a non society member?

Thinking of going out friday but may be able to make this

Non Members / Visitors Section
• Non-members pay cost of course + €10 at each event

• They are entitled to win visitors prize, nearest the pin, longest drive, 2's club but must collect the prize at the following outing or get it collected, otherwise this is forfeit

• They are not entitled to enter GOTY, Captains Prize and are not eligible for selection to the Ryder Jug

• Non-members can become members by paying the €30 less anything they have paid over the members price at outings? ie. if members paid €30 and non members paid €35 at an outing, non-members can join for paying an additional €25 at the next outing

We were looking at reducing the visitors price this year but we have got some good deals on our courses plus a fantastic deal on for the captains so we would like to keep the incentive for players to join up to avail of these. Also as a member some of the courses will be subsidised by us keeping costs down long term.

When it is finalised can i get the list of players and handicaps so i can get the live scoring ready for saturday.

The guys at ClubApp have very kindly offered their live scoring for all the events this year.

I've no GUI yet

I'm probably about 16ish. Played with some boards guys over xmas and steveob was one my playing partners then. If he's off 13 then I'd be another couple of shots back behind him.

Anatom · 18-02-2014 11:07AM

I can't play on Saturday unfortunately. Was really looking forward to it, but my time has been taken over by some "more important" stuff at home...:mad:

Have a great day folks!

That's what you get for winning the first event last year!!

BTW - as we're up at our allocated tee time limit I rang the club to see was there any more slots. There is a few free before us so if anyone is under pressure for time and wants to get out before 10 let me know.

shane0007 · 18-02-2014 06:36PM

Sorry I got called into college so that's my Saturdays gone for next 3 weeks. Going mad I will miss it.

Rippeditup · 18-02-2014 07:19PM

Hey, so looking to join up if it's not too late? Thanks
