Boards Golf Society-Captains Prize-September 22nd-12:00

a post punk · 20-08-2018 8:23pm #1

Hi Lads
Well here we are again ,the end of the society year and another great year it was.The year has been a real eye opener to the work that goes in to running the society and what the lads do in the background to keep us all playing good courses at society prices and a bit of friendly competition thrown in aswell.:;)

The final outing is Rosses Point Co.sligo and I have been looking forward to this since I posted the list of courses nearly a year ago now back in november 17!
As a big links fan myself I had to finish with a quality links course.Although I have never played here I stopped to check it out on the way home from Ballyliffin back in july and the setting is unreal.If the wind gets up there it could be carnage to a scorecard.
96 out of 100 from Kevin Markham is a whopping score and it's in his top ten links courses aswell...........Can't wait:):)
The cost for our members is 55 euros for this and if there is space for visitors it's 65euros.Only members can win the Captains prize on the day.
Be advised aswell we have to confirm numbers 21 DAYS OUT .......so I will have to cancel any spots before that or we will be charged for the tee times.(20 slots are booked)
As usual we will have the Golfer of the year champion crowned on the day and the ryder jug team and Captains picks announced aswell.
The annual social night happens after the golf and analysis is over and it's always a great night to recap on the year gone by and whats to come.
As said in the main thread earlier, accomadation is booked for 120 per room in the glasshouse in sligo town and i could only get 7 double rooms and 3 twin rooms so upto yourselves what ye want to do.
Talk Soon

So the triple rooms are €40 a head, is that right?

Nothing booked for Friday yet but I’ll be sorting it this week

Macker1 · 20-08-2018 10:21pm

Rosses Point

Definitely staying up on Saturday and may even head up on the Friday which I won't know till nearer time.

Its a great course and if weather acts up it will sort out men from boys. The closing stretch will severely test your game. All great holes but number 17 A par or better here and you can brag on Saturday night.

jarrieta · 21-08-2018 8:19am

Rosses Point

Thanks Captain,

I won't stay on Saturday, only on Friday, so might get something booked on my own unless someone is staying also on Friday

I will try to play Strandhill open on Friday if anyone fancies that too!

RoadRunner · 21-08-2018 11:36am

In 100%! Appreciate it if you can save me a twin bed too.

Had an advanced look at Rosses earlier this summer. It's a tough beaut and comes with a warm welcome. Friendly clubhouse, I would have loved to have stayed around a little longer after my visit.

Their contact details are

Call: 0719168188

Hope this is of use, Standstill is a super and quirky at times links, mid-back 9 are wonderful and for €30 super value

BigChap1759 · 21-08-2018 3:36pm

I’m in and happy to share a room with someone

There’s an open there on the Friday if anyone wanted to play it.

Yes, I think this open is a bit different (checked the club calendar), strokes playing from whites, not the best way of playing a course for the first time, but what can we do?

Anyone fancies playing? We might want to get into a boardsies line

I haven't checked with the club yet

Seve OB · 22-08-2018 12:32pm

It will be a bit of crack if we all can play together. Book whatever time suits everyone else and I will make it.
I will swing by for you and head on for Limerick from there.

I'll be going down on the Friday too Captain, not sure if I'll get there early enough for golf yet

doublecross · 23-08-2018 4:12pm

Lads, I won't be able to make the captains but just dawned on me that I've the captains prize trophy from last year. Anybody heading up that's from or passing through the Limerick city/ north tipp area?
Also any word on date/venue for Jug this year. I probably won't be able to make that either but you never know!

I think from what we were discussing in Mitchelstown that we work pretty close to each other in Castletroy?

I can meet you some day there if you want? Ill be heading up.
Send me a PM and we can organise.

RoadRunner · 23-08-2018 5:05pm

Does it look like the word "Roadrunner" will be handy enough to engrave into the space available? :pac:

Hi, thanks but I am staying at a friend's in Strandhill for the weekend, hopefully someone will come too to share the room with Space

ThecHamp26 · 25-08-2018 8:52am

Count me in I can’t wait, played this course last year .. fab.. I’ll get back to you on the room arrangements, I’ll have to have a chat with Macker and see if Friday is an option

ThecHamp26 · 25-08-2018 8:54am

How far outside the top 10 am I, I think I only played two rounds

Hope you aren't going to a wedding the night before

Macker1 · 25-08-2018 8:13pm

Rosses Point

What time are you guys aiming to play golf at Strandhill ?

Not sure if The Champ will be allowed to feck off a day early to Sligo. :P:P

I just need to see if its a runner as it involves taking another day off work and this is after taking a few days the previous week to feck off to Portugal.

Should have a answer early next week.

Is it possible to get the twin room for myself and The Champ for the two nights.

It would be nice to warm up at Strandhill and not have to face a long drive on the Saturday.

The Big Easy · 26-08-2018 4:39pm

Hi guys!

A post punk, sorry for not making it to any outings this year. Would have like to have been able to support your captaincy but the weekends have clashed with some training I'm doing. Haven't actually played a round of golf yet this year! How things change ðŸ˜

I'd love to join you all for the Captain's as a guest if you have room. Always wanted to play Rosse's Point and it's a good excuse to head West ðŸ˜Š

Count me in for Strandhill as well. I'm ok for accommodation though. Be nice to catch up, but I've been out of the loop so don't even know who's in the running this year. The usual suspects, no doubt ðŸ˜‰

ThecHamp26 · 26-08-2018 7:07pm

Hi Marker, I can arrange the Friday off...plus I have no weddings plan so bring on the golf

spacecoyote · 27-08-2018 9:39am

I'm looking good for Strandhill I reckon too Captain, if there is some block-booking being done?

Seve OB · 27-08-2018 10:40am

just had a look at the strandhill website
I see no mention of any opens.
booking golf is coming in at €75 bucks that day

maybe I missed something?

I can get 1 for the Friday night but not the Saturday, there are only 3 twin rooms available the Saturday and the rest are double rooms?

Put myself and TheChamp down for a twin room on the Saturday night and we will sort out something for the Friday if Strandhill is going to be a runner.

Has anyone booked Strandhill yet. Would be great if we could all get out at near the same slots.

Would it be worth adding a quick poll to this thread for Strandhill to try get some numbers down so we can sort out the number of slots required?

Lads,

I just got off the phone to Strandhill GC after explaining that a group of us were planning to travel up on the Friday 21st Sep and would like to play in their open that day. No issues whatsoever and the fee is €30.

We just need to get the numbers together and then book. Looks a smashing course and it would be a nice warmup for the main event the next day.
