    Next up is Thurles Golf Club - Located in the heart of County Tipperary, Thurles Golf Club has evolved significantly through its 100 years of history. With a membership base in excess of 600 members, the Club has developed a strong foothold in golfing circles in Ireland.

    As a result of the major development in 2007 as well as an ongoing members’ initiative we now have one of the driest, best kept parkland courses in the country. While it is a serious golfing challenge from the back tees, the middle tees plus level terrain means that a round of golf in Thurles is a pleasure for all ages and abilities.

    Teamer invites are already gone out.

    Green fee for this one is €35. Hope to see you all there.

    Regards

    Benny79

    Hi folks,

    Numbers seem to be a bit low for this one so far. i know a few are holding off till the weekend. So I'm going to confirm numbers to the club Tuesday lunchtime. A good opportunity to get some serious points on the board as a few of the leaders are missing for this one. ;)

    Regards

    Yeah I'm really looking forward to this one as I have never played it but have heard great reports about it.

    Anyone still on the fence there is still time if circumstances change as the Club seems to have a relaxed approach regards numbers and 2 lads are confirming to me tonight weather they can attend or not so Ill do a time-sheet but can move it around so just keep an eye on it but tee times is from 11.00am to 12.00pm

    Really looking forward to Thurles, unfortunately I missed esker hills as I would have loved to have another crack at that one, last time I was there (with boards) the wind made it a real test, hope we don’t have gales on Saturday

    Typo on the long drive hole?
    Isn't the 4th the hole with a stream crossing the fairway at about 220 yards from the tee?

    From Thurles web site:

    4th HOLE 367 – Par 4
    Play a lay-up shot off the tee to be short of water which is 230 yards away. A difficult 2nd shot awaits against the prevailing wind to a well-guarded green. Use a club more than it seems. Left of the green is the safe option.


    So...yeah it seems like a rough hole for LD!

    Brother of mine is a member in Thurles. I play it quite often.

    18th id say is a good one for LD.
