It looks like it will be 8 people - winner 80 euro - 2nd 40 euro - (Something like that - PARlance the man) - so will go towards Euro club. But - when we are going to the European Club - in say Early March we will post it up here. Then whoever wants to go then - we will organise. Doesn't matter if you were in comp or not - we will try get 8-12 going.BTW it is down for 70 Euro - I remember getting it for 50 euro ? Lads, just rang them - if you are GUI, you can enter the open singles - Friday - Saturday - Sunday and it is 50 euro. Class so , we can all enter a comp - do it a weekend , and if crazy go for a few pints make a night of it. Maybe one thing at a time. That should be something to look forward to - great it is on a weekend too. Nice start to season and a target to end winter work. We could even get a cut or a 0.1 out of this, depending on your perspective on life. Could be off 12 after all this (lol)

Pace of play was a tad slow especially the back nine, however seen enough to get me back again. Will post score on how did you score in last round Thread later.

Of course I've agreed to tag along because it would be quite rude to send a lad off playing on his own. Not til early May but can't wait already. * Let's not debate the 'but is it links?' question with the old head!

I've always fancied playing it meself since reading about Harrington playing Norman there in a head to head to open the place. Norman shot 5 or 6 under before heading off in his helicopter. I'll be heading by car.
