1st Benny79-37 points
2nd Timgolfer-34points
3rd Ballyk-32 points
Nearest the pin-Spacecoyote
Longest drive -Conor
3 lads had 2’s on the day.
Not a great day at the office myself , I had 6 points on the front 9 ,scratching7,8and 9. A bit of a come back on the back 9 with 14 points. I thought the course was in good condition after all the bad weather, the greens will be great in a few weeks when the hollow tining gets covered over. There are some great holes through the course really enjoyable if the golf is good:)
Thanks for the big turnout today lads , nice to see good numbers down South!0 -

Well Finally got my first win in Boards! and to be honest it came out of nowhere as I started the day travelling 21/2 hours to the course when I then found out it should of only took me an hour 15! bloody stupid sat navs! geography obviously isn't my strongest
So out of the car rushing up onto the first tee. Started poorly a 6 (1 pointer) then ended up having 3 scratches, a couple of pars,a couple of 1 pointers on the front 9 taught to myself my chance is well and truly gone and was just trying to engage my swing, haven't not hit a ball in 2 weeks.. The amount of 3 putts I had was criminal whats worse is its normally the strongest part of my game!
So onto the back 9. The pars were starting to fly in and have to say I was just enjoying the round and the craic with Doublecross, Macker and the good Langer Break80, 3 seriously good golfers. I actually found the course quite interesting haven't not liked the opening hole's. There was a good mix of pars 4 that were drivable and some you nearly needed to tee it up again for a second time! and some lovely par 3's. Though the ground was soft this is a course I'd love to play again in the summer.
So as we finished I threw my clubs in the car and was walking around to the club house. When I seen Macker and Break80 standing there with big grin's and say to me what score do you think you have? 28, 29 I hadn't a clue I gave up even thinking about it after the first couple of holes was shocked to hear 37 pts, 13 on the front 9 and 24 on the back! Plus set a personal record of 9 pars in a round, previous was 7 and hit one of my goals for the year by winning a boardise outing and its not even April yet!
Cheers to Post punk and all the Langers in the back round another top outing and feel free to slash me as I'm not Tiger So onto the Rebel county for the next 2 outings now a win there really would be sweet! 0 -
A long day, but a great day out again with Boards.
Playing with two former captains & a new member Conor (a Cat 1 golfer) so I was in good company.
I really like Dromoland, its a cracking course. Was a pity about the condition, but the weather has played a major part in it. The greens were very poor, and I putted terribly which didn't help.
Had 30 points on the day, which was enough for 4th place & picked up a share of the 2s as well as the NTP prize (which I followed with a 3-putt
I'll blame the bad green for it)
Highlight of the day was the short par 3 13th where 3 of us had 2s. Charlie had a bit of bad luck with 3 lads walking across to go fishing as he stepped up to hit, which got in his head & put him off.
I played OK, had 2 birdies, but book-ended the front 9 with scratches, which cost me a potential top 3. I was very poor from inside 100 yards all day. Generally the holes I scored well on were the ones where I left myself a full iron in on the approach.
Charlie started pretty solidly & had a good front 9, but recovery from illness has hit his stamina, so he was running out of steam towards the end. As Conor said, if he'd more confidence in his swing he could put together a great round of golf.
Ballyk was, as always, rock solid, hit some cracking hybrid/fairway woods, and actually putted really well given the condition of the greens.
Conor was a pleasure to play with & a great new addition to the society. He's a serious golfer with massive amounts of easy power & great touch around the greens. I hit my best drive of the day on the LD hole, and he was comfortably 15 yards past me. Any longer & he'd have run out of fairway.0 -
Here is the picture of the par 3 hole that spacecoyote was referring to. The ball nearest the hole was spacecoyote's. It looked like it was going to be a hole in one all the way as it flew directly over the flagstick but ended up a few feet away. :eek:
My ball was the one on the left and I rolled it in for a 2 and my only birdie of the day. Conor followed me in followed by spacecoyote. Don't think I've ever seen three 2s in one hole in a Boards event before! 0 -

Good day out again and good fun with PostPunk kiers47 and dave gilly.
i had an awful start. shanked the drive into the tree's on 1st and then did the same on the 2nd into tree's on the 2nd.
it's a very good course and well worth the drive down.
the Sunday pins made it a heck of a challenge.
was happy with a couple of pars on the par 4's and gave the driveble par 4 down hill a good shot.
putting was a challenge inside 6 feet as kiers47 will testify to as well.
all 4 of us had some mad bobble put's but sure it was good to be out in the sun0 -

Yes thats for sure . Still ruing that putt on the last to break 30 It was no more than 2 foot after hitting a lovely little chip and run from the front of the green.
But it was a great day to be out.
I didnt have any very memorable moments. Drove the ball great apart from a couple where i tried to smash it. haha. But after the drives it was much of a much.
The company was good at least. 0 -
I was out with Brian rossiter-the champ26-&-New in dublin. Its great looking course, but we all struggled on the greens for the most part, but that's golf at this time of year, at least the sun was shining.
I really struggled with short game, especially on the very sanded areas around the greens. Too many duffed/bladed chips to count. Very mixed round, 6 pts out (scratched 4 of the first 5 holes )and 18 pts home(still 2 scratches in there:o) to finish with 24. Nice bird on the short par 4 10th was my only highlight of the day.
But the long evenings are here now, so plenty of practice time on the grass!!!!0 -

Honestly thought you had hit the long drive till we walked over that crest.
It's a course I'd like to revisit end of May as the greens will be in tip top shape by then and now that I know there's such a thing as an environmental out of bounds hazard ðŸ˜0
