then get yourself to Butt bridge, go around the back of the Custom House and head out by Connolly Station as far as Fairview. Then you are looking for the Malahide road, head out that way till you go past the huge Tesco and follow Fixes directions from there

Guys there are roadworks on the city side of Portmarnock village, mid week it's been a delay of 10 minutes (kids have been late for school all week) not sure what it will be like on Saturday.

There is also some work being done on the hotel so parking will be tight.

How many are planning on staying for food ?

Too far off to think about it.

But rain is heavy at this point- so I am thinking about the rain when I shouldn't.

yr - showing a lot more rain - but strong wind out there now could change things.

Anyway - be ready for rain.

Same as that!

Had a great round today .

What normally happens is I play like a donkey at a boards outing. on the saturday after a good round - I think the celebratory wine the night before isn't working.

So I'm out of it.

Again - remind me J - your handicap can be 2 above your GUI ?

BTW - before newcomers get outraged with this , try win a boards outing (lol)

I will flag if this is an issue for me in am.

Hopefully the weather is some what reasonable in the morning. A view down the first to 'wet' the appetite for tomorrow.

Forecast on the site GG posted is looking a lot better now for the morning. Rain seems to have shifted out to a lot later on the day. Fingers crossed it's right

Yes a little better.

With high wind - hardly worth looking at it till day in question - was hoping it would blow to earlier or later.

I am down in Wexford with the family and the weather is perfect but it looks like a tough day coming our way tomorrow.

I think that once you have resigned to the fact we are getting wet then it just becomes a good challenge

Looking forward to it, I am calling 32 as the wining score.

I'd say we'll see a couple of 36pts, seasoned links players in our ranks.

I was shocked at that score last year.

If someone gets 36 , they will win there.

I think it is a very very hard course.

I think it will be the lowest ever winning score tomorrow.

Think Pete won with 33pts in Dundrum a few years ago.
Of course the wind will be a huge factor, but it will also help on some holes. With a lot of us playing last year and really enjoying it. I think we'll see at least one of us playing to our handicap.

Ben1977

It might actually be a good chance for a low HC to win!!!

And if you play to your handicap or better there in that - you deserve a win

Being honest - I think J will win it with 34.

I don't even know about 20 people going , but no harm speculating for the laugh.

Jaysus - Ben - that interclub.

Your a black belt at Turing the screw.

But agree, A low handicapper like Roadrunner or J should pick it up.

J - you would get 32 + there , with Dunlop balls , a squeaky trolley, a lost ball in fairway and a failure to declare a provisional

Yes , you will get your infamous 3 under for last 6 to pull it off.

What's the weather up there like?

Hi all
To save time
Go to clubhouse not hotel and they have payment details set up under J's name not his boards handle
