Rainbow Warrior · 26-05-2021 9:09am

Well done Break80 looking forward to it!

OffalyMedic · 26-05-2021 9:34am

Well done Break80. Can’t wait to get back, won’t make them all but hopefully get to 3 anyway. Fair play

slave1 · 26-05-2021 11:49am

Nice, I updated the OP, two new courses there for me, always love new courses

coillcam · 26-05-2021 2:34pm

Excellent work Break 80! I might not be able to attend the first but the other ones should be fine. Looking forward to visiting some new courses.

Snackbox20 · 26-05-2021 2:52pm

Deffo in for kilkea castle Break80 and hopefully can make a lot of the outings this year.
Great work Captain and look forward to seeing you all throughout the year.

Seve OB · 26-05-2021 3:03pm

Teamer invites have been sent for Kilkea folks

We are resetting Handicaps to align with WHS folks. Rules have been (or will shortly be) updated. In short, we will use your Handicap Index to calculate a Course Handicap. We are not going to bother with the 95% playing handicap rule, but in an effort to be fair to all, we will still apply Playing Handicap adjustments as per previous.

Please send me a pm with your GUI number and Club so that I can prepare handicaps ahead of time

Golfhead65 · 26-05-2021 3:04pm

Just accepted there for Kilkea Castle but can I have 1st Tee time as I've to go to Monaghan later

boccy23 · 26-05-2021 4:28pm

Signed up there. Delighted to join and really looking forward to the year ahead.

Thanks Break 80 and Seve OB.

Neewollah · 26-05-2021 9:42pm

Best of luck to the society for the year. Been following the thread for a while now. I might try and join you all in Castlecomer when the time comes as its close to home and get involved for the 1st time

DuckSlice · 28-05-2021 10:08am

Best of luck this year, i hope to make Enniscrone but will have to play it by ear.

gypsy79 · 28-05-2021 12:38pm

Inter club commitments and distance to Munster make it unlikely I will make many this year

Ivefoundgod · 28-05-2021 1:32pm

Am I too late to sign up for this? Think I'd be able to make 3 events as Kilkea is practically on my doorstep and Castlecomer and West Waterford wouldn't be too far away. I've only just joined a club this year and haven't got my handicap yet though would probably have it by the 19th of June all going well.

You a member of kilkea? As it's on my doorstep too and I'm a member. If you ever want a game?

Might have been a slight exaggeration

I'm living in Carlow town so only a 15ish minute drive out the road from me, Carlow is my home course.

Sent you a PM Seve. Thanks.

jarrieta · 02-06-2021 11:09am

Unfortunately I have taken out my name for KC as it is clashing with a team competition I am playing. In case I am not selected I will see if there are still available places for this and still possible to join.

Enjoy, looking forward to attending one outing at least this year...

Concerned2 · 02-06-2021 3:08pm

signed up for Kilkea. Thanks guys for organizing this , should be a bit of craic. Hopefully some summer weather will appear on the day !

OffalyMedic · 24-06-2021 12:43pm

Any update on Ryder Jug and GOTY points after Kilkea?

Seve OB · 24-06-2021 1:47pm

I’ll get it sorted. But busy now, might be the morning

Golfer of the year update after Kilkea

benny79 · 25-06-2021 3:08pm

ooh Its tight at the Top

Seve OB · 26-07-2021 11:50am

sorry, there were actually a couple of errors in the previous table, I just realised as I updated this week. Some of the newer members were not previously included

Here is the state of play now

Seve OB · 07-08-2021 8:57pm

After Castlecomer

A little reshuffle at the top , its tight up there now

😉

ballyk · 07-08-2021 9:13pm

Congrats Seve on taking the lead and well done for getting the table updated so quickly. Society is indebted to you for your continuing hard work.

things very interesting around the top 10 too. Everyone as far as Pakman has 5 events minimum played, so need an improved score to increase. Next 2, Doublecross & Roadrunner with 4 played so could be a good jump with a decent fifth score. Few more with potential for jumps with one big win

Kiith · 08-08-2021 6:47pm

Is that tiny for anyone else? Even when it opens, it seems to be strangely small.

Its an unfortunate byproduct of trying to create an image from a large spreadsheet and trying to fit all users names and results.

Might be worth considering posting a section, maybe just the top 20 and just the total scores alongside the overall table?

Seve OB · 08-08-2021 9:16pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117724861#Comment_117724861

Yes I only noticed that after. I’ll do a better version tomorrow on my pc in work

Pigeon Chaser · 09-08-2021 8:37am

Hi guys.

Just spotted this thread.

Would love to join next year. Great variation in courses.

Seve OB · 09-08-2021 12:02pm

how's this? i actually think it's new boards... just keeps resizing the image to poorer resolution... i used to be able to pick a resolution

PDF attachment might be better

new members always welcome

Snackbox20 · 13-08-2021 1:14pm

Oh wow,

It is going helter - skelter in the top 10. I haven't seen this much juggling and vying for a top 10 spot since the late nineties when the Kelly family were claiming they had a better single than the Corrs only to be scuppered by Christy Moore and the there were the mighty juggernauts at the top of the table Hanson vs Nickleback.

That trudge and challenge at Castlecomer has me falling out of the top 10 and I'm gutted now that I am missing West Waterford as I am on holidays up the west and then Donegal from next Wednesday.

West Waterford is a lovely course, I think the first par 3 is one where it slopes slightly downhill, there is a hedge across the fairway that guards the green along with a lake to the left.

I remember this well :D

For those of you that will get to play this gem, enjoy and I hope to see you for Captains in September.

Seve OB · 13-08-2021 2:42pm

I’m only at the top for a quick look

my money on Slave1 to be taking golfer of the year. I’ll be missing Waterford so expect to see him take an unassailable lead into the final round

spacecoyote · 13-08-2021 3:12pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117747908#Comment_117747908

Numbers are very low for Waterford, so he could have it in the bag with a good performance. 2 wins in one GOTY season would usually put anyone close to uncatchable.

Pretty much everyone who turns up, even coming last will likely show them increase their best 5 total

Snackbox20 · 19-08-2021 8:18am

Playing Enniscrone this morning in their open singles. See what lies ahead of captain's.

There's a fair few par 5s. So I best leave early now, get to the range and buy more balls 😁😁

Seve OB · 23-08-2021 11:41am

Low turnout in Waterford has really shaken things up in the Golfer of the year.

By my reckoning anyone of the top 6 can claim the top spot depending on how the results fall in the final event.

sorry, the new boards is messing with the resolution of image making it hard to read, pdf attached now

spacecoyote · 23-08-2021 1:55pm

Need @paulos53 to run one of his permutations run downs for the final day

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117792971#Comment_117792971

I will try and take a look tomorrow if I have time.

It is unfortunate that this year's fixtures didn't suit me but hopefully I will be back next year. I was in Enniscrone on Saturday while you were playing West Waterford. I seem to be playing a lot of the same courses as the society, just on the wrong day.

paulos53 · 24-08-2021 1:51pm

For charlieIRL the task is simple: A top 2 finish will guarantee him Golfer of the Year

Failing that a 3rd place finish means that only slave1 can catch him by winning in Enniscrone.
A 4th place finish gives spacecoyote & Seve OB a chance but again they will need a win on the Captain’s Day.
A 5th place for charlieIRL opens it up a bit more. A 2nd place for slave1 would earn him the title. If slave1 is outside the top 2 then OffalyMedic and Break80 could both top the table with a win. For Break80 this would only be good enough for a tie and have the committee scrambling to find a tie-break procedure.

Should charlieIRL fail to improve on his points total then

slave1 needs a minimum of a top 4 finish
Seve OB, spacecoyote and OffalyMedic would need at least a top 3
Break80 would need be in the top 2

paulos53 · 24-08-2021 2:00pm

Ryder Jug qualification is trickier as it is hard to predict what the 10th place points total will be. Here is my best guess

The 6 GOTY contenders all look to be safe for a top 10 spot to qualify for the Ryder Jug team.

benny79 is not mathematically guaranteed a spot on 550 points but it would take a freak set of results to knock him out so I think he can relax going into Enniscrone.

Next on the list is ballyk on 508 points so if I set a nominal target of 509 points to make the top 10 then here are some targets in Enniscrone for the chasing pack.

Top 17 - ballyk

Top 11 - a post punk & Concerned2

Top 6 - Kiith

Top 5 - GolfNut203

Top 4 - doublecross, Alanm & RoadRunner

Top 3 - jarrieta, pakman & Snackbox20

Top 2 - WoodyG

A win - Brian Rossiter & FixdePitchmark

spacecoyote · 24-08-2021 2:51pm

Excellent, cheers @paulos53 , nice work.

Looking at a lot of the names on the list that are right on the bubble for the top 10, its going to be a very tricky decision to come up with the 2 wildcards.

At least with the captain safely in there it means we'll have 2 open choices

Seve OB · 24-08-2021 4:24pm

Fair play Paulos53, must have been a slow morning in work 😂

I’m just thinking I’ve got to win and maybe stand on charlieIRLs ball when he is not looking 🥺

spacecoyote · 25-08-2021 2:28pm

@Seve OB has sent out the Teamer invites for Captains this morning (thanks). Would really appreciate if people can update their status as soon as possible on this one, as we need to confirm the numbers with Enniscrone and get organised for the event. Its the Captain's big day, so want things to run as smoothly as possible so we can get the prize announcements and the Top 10 for GOTY countdown completed on the day. Captain will be posting a specific thread for the event shortly.

As an FYI to all interested, I have 2 tee slots booked in Rosses' Point on the day before, 17th September, at 11.20 & 11.30. Its 2 4-balls. I have 5 of the slots taken at the moment so far. But for anyone interested, they're more than welcome to join us.

Further to that, I've booked a couple of rooms in the Sligo Southern Hotel so far. The rooms I've booked so far are filled for the Friday night. There is room for 1 person on the Saturday night currently in the rooms I have. Again, first come first served on that one.

Kiith · 26-08-2021 10:50am

Folks, baby girl was born 4 weeks early on Monday evening. Mom and baby doing really well, and things are going great so far. Happy days 😁

I'll obviously be missing the Enniscrone trip for sure now. Also missing the 3 day trip that was supposed to start today, but i really couldn't care less to be honest. Much rather just sit home and look at the little one. I may reconsider that when i see the photos of the beautiful weather up there today, but i doubt it.

Had a blast this year, and look forward to getting stuck in again next year. Might be around for the Ryder Jug if everyone above me plays **** next round out, but sure we'll see how things go.

Congrats Kiith on the new arrival. Enjoy her so much. These are precious times.

spacecoyote · 26-08-2021 2:07pm

Congratulations @Kiith glad to hear that everyone is doing well.

Good luck with it and look forward to seeing you soon

slave1 · 26-08-2021 5:07pm

Congrats Rob, time to start putting those brownie points in the bank
