Surprised to see Keith Pelley down to play.

Great stuff thanks. Unfortunately the permit never arrived either but I have the email confirming. Thanks

Also wondering where would be best to set up? I was thinking near the 1st tee or green. Don't think I'll follow around. Not sure though.

Was at the Irish open Thursday and just tested positive for covid this morning. Absolutely ragin, bought the tickets when they came out first in 2019 when they were €50 for the two days. Such bad luck avoided the pox for 2.5 years. Probably the last time to see tiger and a field so good.

Also same boat here. Never received parking passes in post. See there are a few car park options so not sure where to go?

redzerdrog

how much does it cost for a team of Ams in this event?

thecretinhop

Neg test I might be on my way after all! It is day 7 too

The Big Easy

Nick Faldo playing as an Am that's bizarre!

big_drive

All the amateurs are getting free TaylorMade clubs as part of their goodie bags, all custom fitted for them on the range

The last gaa classic I played in we got a bottle of water, a banana and a mars bar 🤣

Weather looks like it's going to behave, enjoy lads and lasses, get them photos posted

Okay folks, looks like being a lovely few days golf. LIV posts deleted, no more please as that's a wormhole we want to avoid OT.

Post here instead

The last time it was played, it was €100,000 to enter a team. Those that played with Woods paid €500,000 apparently. This year I was told it was €500,000 to enter a team, not sure how true that is but I wouldn’t be surprised. Definitely 6 figures though.

Mantis Toboggan

250000 a team apparently!

Looking at the list, I'd be stuck between Paddy and JT, not that I would be paying that amount, good luck to those that can afford it

Mantis Toboggan

Walked the course, in phenomenal shape, absolutely pristine.

googlewhack

Did anyone manage to park somewhere today without booking ahead? Trying to figure how to approach travelling tomorrow. I’d also happily purchase a parking ticket for tomorrow from anyone that has one spare 😃

Man Vs ManUre

Why would anyone even watch this crap?? A bunch of self-obsessed celebrities playing golf, everyone just there because they have more money than brains. The only sport worse than golf is golf being played by celebrities.

All the amateurs, they're all just rich people who want to play with the pros right? Each amateur has to pay around 150k to play?

Got the hat signed by the Ryder cup captain 😁

Coming from a chap who watches Love Island 😂😂

Love Island is way better than even normal golf, let alone this freak show version of golf.

Judging from the list of names above there appears to be two categories of amateur. The "celebrity" kind, like Michael O'Leary, who can probably well afford to donate 50 k to his chosen charity and then you have ordinary golf fans - members of local clubs - who could not afford to. The biggest stars, Woods, Thomas and McIlroy are paired with the wealthiest amateurs, Desmonds, McManus's and Smurfits.

Or to know someone willing to fork out. Might be mistaken, but I can't see Phil Hogan or Charlie McCreevy paying that sort of money.

Pussyhands

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119288280#Comment_119288280

I'm thinking of the likes of Keith Wood. I'd hardly see him as wealthy enough to be spending 50k to play a round of golf..

Or does the celeb golfer pay for most of the team?

The place looks fantastic on TV. Great advertisement for tourism.
