I'd put you as favourite to pip me Stevie, a friend has decided to get married for the next outing, the inconsiderate B

It really is hotting up and not the foregone conclusion we all thought it was going to be after Macker won 2 in a row.

Keep going lads as the Ryder Jug is a great event to play in and I am sure you are all looking forward to the Captains day in MJ............even if you haven't hit a ball straight all year, there is still time to shine to give Charlie some decisions!!

well you will know soon whether or not he/she is a true friend, as a true friend would understand that you might be late to their wedding due to an important golf game that has been scheduled months and months ago!!!!

i think i need at least a top 5 finish (will bump me up buy 60 points) in one of the last 2 events to qualify, but who knows, I'm only a few points behind ya

ssbob

Because it's the best 5 counting, I am looking at it again and I reckon 450 guarantees a spot alright.

I hope Roscrea has a good attendance, as we don't want Kiers47 sneaking in for an easy win 30 mins from home:pac::pac::pac:

PS: Stevie, allegedly;) "Someone heard Charlie saying he is open to bribery"

Isn't that what I told you.

Looks like I need a half decent performance and should make it.

Well done to Reganovski catching the lads. Lot to be said for hitting the ball miles and where he wants- good wedges and good putting.

I just had a large pony and used lots of paper :eek:

In fairness you did call it 2 months ago.

It will be close cause there are 4 guys in the top 10 who still only have 4 qualifying rounds, so they will all be bound to increase their score even by small numbers, once they play in one of the final 2 games

ssbob

Reganovski has already said he can't play Captains day which is unfortunate as he has put in a sublime display of golf on his last two outings.

I am also definitely out for captains with my brother deciding(2 years ago) to get married the day I booked the captains prize for :eek::eek::eek::eek:

And more than likely I am not playing Roscrea.

I really love this time of year when the permutations come into it!!:D:D

charlieIRL

sorry lads, made a boo boo with the scores. We has 4 lads finish on 37 points, some with same back 9, same front 9 and i got mixed up on countbacks. Makes very little difference to GOTY but we want to have it right.

Apologies.

madadamktm

Was just wondering around what price each cousre is to play ?

Just send CharlieIRL a PM with your details, phone number and email address and he will set you up on Teamer (sends notifications out about the events)

There's a €30 annual joining fee or if you can only make a few events then you have to pay a fiver (I think) on top of the green fee for each event and you'll be considered a "visitor". Visitors cant claim any of the prizes.

your welcome

Macker1

Is the GOTY decided on best 5 scores or overall total ? Just curious as I had an absolute mare down in Gowran

Rikand

I'm backing tiger for the title, come on tiger!

Anybody want to do joke odds. With a touch of realisim.

or is that a site ban

As long as the main topic of the post is not gambling then you can work away;)

I would suggest Kiers47 to run that!

Seve OB

Well Macker would have to be an odds on favourite 1/2 but Tiger would be where the clever money should be put, probably at 2/1

Rikand

Regan has to be the favourite. only has 4 scores counting and is in the top 3. Gotta be odds on to shoot another good one around Roscrea and wont have any "bad" rounds weighing him down

I would have said
Regan eve
Macker 45/40
TIGER 2/1
space and 3 putt 40/1
Me self 79/1
ss bob 180/1
Charlie 1000/1

charlieIRL

Thanks for the mention Fix!!

FixdePitchmark

Lads boards is class - just read a post from Dan there and I feel I could drop 3 shots in next outing if I improve my spin on my wedges using "the breakthrough rotex face" -

I'm putting myself at 76/1 - now.

I have the Cleveland non RTX wedges, kind of wishing I went for the RTX but I'm still pretty happy.

Dont know if these groves will stop that blade I do or top from 100 but.

40/1...should have backed myself before the gowran outing, would have gotten great odds.

Think its a 3 horse race for the title alright though I should be safe for a Ryder jug spot

Oh but I added one of those Cleveland wedges to my bag earlier this year & maybe will have a lofted up driver in the bag by roscrea, so odds could be getting slashed shortly

All about the gear lads, all about the gear.

Found 4 ultras the other day. I'm taking a new approach on the long drive too.

Golfgraffix

So do we think 450 will make the team?

That's the way it's looking for now J, you are in a good position as you have only played 4 events and have a total of 346 pts, a top 5 in either of the last 2 events should see you in.

paulos53

If 450 is enough to make the team then the current top 5 in the GOTY are safe.

This is what the rest of us need to do in Roscrea to reach 450 points with an event to spare:

Needs a Win: Keano, holeinone
Top 2: bobster453, Tony O'Reilly, ballyk, roadrunner
Top 3: scubapro, recycled
Top 4: kiers47
Top 5: golfgraffix, charlieirl, stevieob
Top 6: parlance, paulos53
Top 11: FixdePitchmark
Just needs to turn up: scrubber72, ssbob


I half expect ssbob to turn up at Mount Juliet driver in hand, hit a tee shot on the 1st, then get back in his car and head off to his brother's wedding

Rikand

if i showed up and won, I'd miss out by 5 points

Ben1977

The way I see it is, anyone with 2 wins is in.
So everyone in the bottom half still has a great chance

Keano

I doubt I will make Roscrea so I wont be making the team! 2 years in a row missing the Jug!

scrubber72

Going to play in last two events so that should get me in. Whether i will be any good to the team is another thing.

Great analysis Paulo but as I mentioned already, a friends wedding is stopping me from being available for the Jug so even if I do make it, I won't be playing unfortunately :mad: :mad: :mad:

I am going to try my hardest to play Roscrea however I definitely will not show up to MJ;)

Keano

You need new friends!!

Im at a wedding the 23rd , here was I thinking 2 wins from me and I might scrape the team , enjoy lads , looks a lovely course

bobster453

Dont really understand the scoring system yet but if i need a second place i better start arranging some lessons from tigerwoods my hero

Are you playing both events bobster - you don't need a 2nd at all then - a couple of top 5 and you wouldn't be far off.

Lads the 450 is only a guess.

Many variables - for example if the lads in the top 10 had a collapse of form and all top 3s came from below top ten - it could move up.

We will obviously have an exact situation going into last. One win for example brings about top 25 back into team.

As ben said , not over - we have had double winners a good few times.

Not miracles at all - it was where you were aiming over 2 rounds.

Only special players make the team as rookies :P:):o

Golfgraffix

Looking forward to the next two events gonna try and try and aim for a top ten in both.

Any more progress on staying over on captains day ? Has anyone checked out hotels ?

Hi Lads,

Sorry to Hijack the conversation. Hope this is the best thread for this.

I was interested in possibly joining the society. Just wanted to know how open to new members you are ? Is there any steps one must take to join ?

I'm new to playing golf, have watched most my life. I started last year because it was something I always wanted to do and played quite a bit over the summer. Unfortunately my two playing partners are a bit older than myself and have family commitments so I haven't played since last summer. This would be my main reason in looking to join a society.

Couple of concerns would be I don't drive and I'm not the best golfer in the world. Don't want to be holding people up. I took a few lessons last year and they really helped. Towards the end of the summer, I was shooting in the high 80s/ Low 90s. So safe to say I'm not a natural That being said there was one day I went out and couldn't move the ball out of my way

Keano

Everybody is welcome Moat - we have all levels playing.

Not driving isn't a big deal as we have people from all over the place and I'm sure you'll be able to get a lift to most outings.

What part of the country are you in?
