Hey all, I’ve just signed up on here and am not too long in Ireland. Does anyone in and around North Dublin fancy having a few pints and watching the rugby on Saturday?
Should be a great couple of games!
Not sure if this is the best place to post so apologies if not.

maybe the maddest first post I've seen on boards

if you want to drink with strangers watching rugby, why not just go into a pub?

now if you are into golf, why don't you join the boards society on Saturday and play golf with them … then watch the match... plenty of dubs going

I’m busy in the morning so won’t be able to make the outing, but am free in the afternoon.
Now, I do play golf, and it’s not easy meeting people in a new city so figured what’s the harm in asking the question!
If people are wary, that’s fine. In the coming months I hope it’ll be clear I’m harmless..!

benny79 · 08-05-2019 9:37am

Up the fcuking Reds!!! What a night.... Kings of Europe...

Luap · 15-05-2019 4:03pm

Best place to get some 1/4 zip tops?

Under Armour and the like for not outrageous money.

Have a few one for all vouchers so I place that accepts them would be nice - not a must!

Thanks

Weird. Could have sworn that you had already won the title at Xmas.

Back then the rules were different. No backpass rules, 2 points for the win, leather balls.
Most of the trophies carved from wood?

Glebee · 04-07-2019 10:31am

Got out with the young lad for 9 holes late yesterday evening, getting in just at dusk was falling. Absolutely glorious. Is there anything better than golf of a summers evening????

Seve OB · 14-07-2019 7:12pm

what an end to the cricket, proper sports drama

DuckSlice · 29-07-2019 9:23am

Morgan Freeman Gaa gift grubs, is it just me or does anyone else think these are not funny?

Glebee · 29-07-2019 9:54am

Is gift grub still going?? Jesus there getting some mileage out of that. I used to listen to it when bertie was in his prime and that a good while ago.

DuckSlice · 29-07-2019 11:30am

still going and getting worse by the day. His Dunphy impression doesn't even sound like him anymore.

spacecoyote · 25-12-2019 6:13pm

Happy Christmas All. Hope everyone got the secret to great golf

rickis tache · 25-12-2019 7:41pm

And to you space.
Hope 2020 brings you cuts and high praise for the society outings.

Kiith · 25-12-2019 8:56pm

Happy Chrismas all, and prayers to the golfing gods. May they bless your game with birdies galore.

Anyone get any golf gifts? Got a small chipping net from my brother in law, so will give that a shot once i'm home.

Seve OB · 26-12-2019 4:17pm

got a few gloves, balls and a day in the Carton academy

spacecoyote · 26-12-2019 10:46pm

Didnt get a lot of golf stuff myself this year. Main golf gift was one of those Acu-Strike golf mats.

A much cheaper way of getting some strike feedback than a launch monitor

newindublin · 30-12-2019 5:29pm

Plastic tees(meh, its the thought..), a base layer from galvin green, cold weather gloves, cold weather socks and a couple of gift certs to defray the cost of a new cart. I was happy with the haul!

Will try find out for you, got it in a Kris Kindle. Think it was likely bought online

fourmations · 06-01-2020 3:00pm

my MIL got me in our kris kindle
and she got me two lessons, woot!

mighty magpie · 09-01-2020 2:49pm

**** golf gifts for me this year from the in laws.

toilet golf putting mat
a golf quiz game
plastic golf balls

Kiith · 09-01-2020 9:40pm

Went to the range tonight and figured out one of the things i've been doing really wrong. Helped me strike my irons really well for a good 30 minutes.

Can't wait to go to the course and it hasn't helped at all :pac:

Kiith · 16-01-2020 10:04pm

Went back to my older clubs today, after finding out they were actually newer then my current ones. Was using Cobra S3 Pro blades, and going to try the Taylormade Aero Burners tomorrow. Was absolutely smashing them on the range tonight, and was definitely getting better distance with them.

Also got a loan of an M4. God damn that's fun to hit, and so much more forgiving then my Ping G5...though that's not so surprising with a 15 year old driver.

Going to try sneak in a round tomorrow and test them both. Really curios to see how they perform.

GreeBo · 19-02-2020 11:54pm

Can anyone recommend a good online thesaurus?

Hoping to post on the McIlroy thread later and want to try to impress everyone with my perspicacity and erudite use of the vernacular.

Kiith · 04-03-2020 6:18pm

Thought this was pretty cool.

It is also hugely misleading as it has Ireland only having 5 'survivors'

I am a data guy....and data storing on this is so inconsistent and practices so inconsistent that there is no definitive measures out there

There are so many people who have had this thing and dont even know they have had it!!

Glebee · 02-04-2020 6:20pm

All of this Covid 19 stuff would depess the hell out of ye...:(:(:(

Kiith · 14-04-2020 4:02pm

Just found out McGuirks have a finance option, and i've got an entire cart full of stuff i can't really afford. I need a new set of irons, woods, driver, bag, cart, pro-v1's, umbrella and a bunch of clothes....right?

Dont do it.... Youll drive yourself cracked not being able to use them.

Kiith · 14-04-2020 4:37pm

They'd take a few weeks to arrive though...just in time for when we go back

Ah but i think i'll be sensible and only order the woods and wedges. And the bag...and trolley :P
