Boards Golf Society 2019
-
01-11-2018 11:21am#1Ladies & Gentlemen, Boys & girls.
It gives me great pleasure to announce the list of venues for the forthcoming year for the Boards golf society for 2019.
Portmarnock Links GC - February 23th - 12.00pm
Athy GC - March 16th - 11.00am
The European GC - April 20th - 11.00am
Esker Hills GC - May 18th - 11.30am
Thurles GC - June 15th - 11.00am
Castleknock GC - July 20th - 11.00am
Carlow GC - August 17th - 11.00am
DOOKS GC - CAPTAINS PRIZE - September 21st - 2.00pm
We normally play the 3rd Saturday of each month "Feb - Sept"
*But please note the first outing "Portmarnock Links" is on the "4th" Sat of the month*
Membership is €30 for the year. As you can see there is 8 outings. Your best 5 outings count towards making the Ryder Jug team. At each outing you will get points depending on where you finished. Top 10 automatically qualify for the Ryder Jug team & the Captain (Me) has 2 picks
We also have a Golfer of the year award. So even if you dont win an outing you have something to play for all year. The Ryder Jug team plays against another Society "The Reps" normally around the 3rd Saturday in October venue tba.
New members most welcome! You just need to have a love of the game
Hopefully the venues will entice some of the old members back! And a lot of new members to join. I hope there tempted at least.
This year I tried my best to put a real emphasis on the quality of Courses & to get them as cheap as possible which with rates going up is no easy task! I like to thank the committee for all the help & the people that done me favours! There was a lot of work & haggling involved behind the scenes that really goes unnoticed.
Many thanks to Post Punk the outgoing Captain I personally had a great year! Got my first Boards win, nearly had a second only for Tigerwood1 to beat me by a point on the 18th but a great round & great memories.. And gave the Golfer of the year a real run..
So thats it! Enjoy the break & hopefully 2019 is a golfing year to remember.
Your Captain for 2019

Just a bit about my own Boards golf experience. I was a member of the Golf forum for a number of years always reading threads starting some and generally getting involved but never had the courage to join the Boards Golf society. I was tempted each year but meeting a bunch of people of the internet was a bit weird imo
Then about 3 or 4 years ago some of the venues were to hard to resist and I took the plunge & I wished I had of done it sooner! After all we play with strangers most weeks at our clubs thats what makes golf a unique sport in a way.
So I rocked into The Heritage golf club on my own with a bunch of lads & some women staring at me or so I taught! The first person I spoke to was doublecross & lucky enough it was his first outing too! Boards virgins and its safe to say its one of the best decisions I every made!
I have made some great friends! even the Cork lads have grown on me (who would of thought) played some great courses & being to some of the most beautiful parts this Country of ours has to offer! So much so I look forward to the Boards outings more than my Clubs!! If only the boards was every week.
So if you were once like me please feel free to come along man or women & get involved. I can guarantee, it will be one of the best decisions you make. Of course some venues there's a bit of travel involved but life is short & trust me its totally worth it!0 -

Great list there Benny, a class mix of courses.
Have never played the European & it's really high on my list.
Carlos was a cracker of a course a few years ago, looking forward to getting back there.
Good luck for the year, will be aiming to retain the captains prize 0 -

looks good Benny!!! I'll join up this year... had a great laugh at Castlemartyr last year.
I will need to be a bum for the majority of trips up the country as myself & my wife share a car (apologies in advance but I'll be generous with petrol money
) 0 -

Good luck captain, I guess this is where you grab the reigns and take over. It's clear to see you are trying to build the numbers so hopefully the great list of courses will entice a few new guys to join and a few old regulars to return.
I'm just surprised that you haven't included St. Andrews as the second outing ... You, me, a couple of other Dubs and a few of your Cork mates heading over in early March is a testament as to how the society has bonded over the years and how good a bunch of lads we are and mates we gave become...... Maybe we should stick up a thread for that actually, generate a bit if interest and show the others who are on the fence what they are missing out on.
Anyway, lads and lassies, I manage Teamer which we use to organise the outings. We have lots of people in there who have never even shown up to an outing. I will be conducting a cull in the coming weeks so if you are on it and not a regular attendee, let me know if you want to stay on it.
If you are new here, interested in joining up, drop me a pm with your name, email, phone number, handicap and club. No biggie if you don't have a club or handicap, we will sort you out. Beginners, improvers, pros...... All welcome.0 -

We decided against it this year with the cost of outings going up, the weather and it being just after Christmas. Quality over Quantity 0 -

Can I tentatively register an interest without officially joining yet?0 -

Ah understood. I was thinking of it as more of an optional for fun and the hardcore year round players, especially if it doesn't count for anything but bragging rights but either way looking forward to the year.
Had a round at Royal Tara this past weekend for 10ish euro, and even though I lost several balls to giant piles of leaves on the course it was a really enjoyable round. I guess I just like being out on the course.0 -

Hi All,
I've had the pleasure of finishing a round @ Corballys a few weeks ago with some of you and the Society seems fun.
Seve I'll pm you my details, can you add me to the Group ? Not sure I'll be able to come to all venues as I have a Young son and a non-golf playing wife, but will do my best and course selection looks amazing.
See you soon and if anyone is interested in playing around Dublin even before february, let me know. I moved here only a few months ago and am already tired of playing by myself
