    What's the issue with discussing it here? It's very relevant to the ProAm.

    Only chance of seeing a lot of these players on Irish soil this year. Superb event, very well run, reasonably priced and on the best parkland course in the country (possibly in Europe).

    You may have no interest but there are thousands upon thousands that will have interest and all the while will be contributing to good causes. A feast of world class golf on your doorstep.

    Plenty will enjoy it while you abstain for whatever reason;)

    It'll be a great spectacle, but ill be abstaining for a number of reasons. For me the lack of true competitiveness makes it less appealing. It's an exhibition match, a friendly, a chance for Niall Horan to play golf with a pro, and half the spectators with no interest in golf to celeb spot.

    Not for me, but no doubt it'll be an enjoyable event if that's your thing. Irish Open is more my thing to watch live golf tbh.

    I get where you are coming from but if you are into your golf I can't think of anything better than going to the range in Adare and watching Tiger, Rory, DJ, Mickelson, Rahm, Finau, Schauffele, Fleetwood, Stenson, Sergio etc etc hitting all the clubs in the bag and just seeing the different ball flights of each. I know it's not a major or even an Irish Open but it is a rare treat to see the PGA Tour players in our neck of the woods.

    It's amazing what JP can do that the Irish Open can't.

    Looking forward to it and to seeing the course.

    He’s alright in my books. Invested in Irish golf. Would like to see him paired with Garcia or one of the other Spaniards after this :Dhttps://youtu.be/h_cY0yohFo4

    Regarding the pro am, the at&t pebble beach pro am in 2019 was one of the most viewed golf events last year outside majors*

    For x100 times the price you could fly to Augusta, listen to roars of bababoey and getinthehole and probably not have enough room to watch the final putt go in. I’m alright without mashedpotatoes. Looking forward to adare. Hopefully it’s as good a vibe as portrush was.

    it's a strange one for me.

    as much as I love playing the game I have little or no interest in watching others play regardless of how good or famous they are. Seems like the waste of a day when you could be playing instead.

    Sitting down on a patch of pristine grass, in the sunshine, with a cold beer, while the blood vessels in Miley Byrne's neck start jutting out because he's screaming "Yabba Dabba Do" so hard at Niall Horan as he walk by :D

    It's on the way...

    Hopefully the amateurs are a bit better this time around.

    Alot of the people playing in previous Pro Ams couldnt knock the ball out of their way ,they'd no business there .

    Yes - he'll probably pay them out of his own pocket and make sure charities benefit as much as possible.

    Any way of getting tickets for it?
    It sold out before I had a chance to buy.

    How many tickets have been sold for this? I'm guessing that so many high profile players should spread the crowd out among different groups (with the exception of Tigers group).

    I missed the sale last August by a couple of days. Still looking for a pair.
    I can offer 2 tickets for Liverpool v Atletico Madrid or 2 tickets for Liverpool v Burnley, or any game at Anfield next season, plus cash difference in return/swap for 2 tickets for JP pro am.

    damn

    have you season tickets?

    my daughter is mad to go to Anfield (as am I... not been in well over 10 years)… however I don't think I'd be allowed swap unfortunately. However, I think you should start coming to the boards golf outings... be nice to know someone on the inside :D

    Has anyone here qualified for the Grand Qualifier? Supposedly it's being held on the 28th and 29th of May (Thursday and Friday).

    I've been told that notifications for details are to be sent out in the next few weeks, but does anyone have an inside track as to what way it will work? I assume you will only play 1 of the days? Has anyone heard the exact details yet?

    Hi you can get tickets by playing in qualifiers. There are a small number left. You have to pay €150 or so per person but that money goes to the charity running the qualifier. and you get the chance to qualify to play in Adare..
