Possibility of BOARDS.IE Golf Society?

Dman_15

I think this would be a great idea seeing as the golf forum is becoming more popular.

Just like theres a boards beers, 2-3 times a year we could have an outing to say, somewhere like Athlone.

Show of interest please.....

I just ran out of that kip.
Don't bother your (collective) hole.
And yes I was a member in Glasson, its full of culchies.
It's like playing in St John of God's. ( No offence they do great work)

Dman_15

I chose athlone because its centrall, i have played there myself and its not that bad. the course doesnt matter anyway, just who would be interested in getting a society going.

TheDoc

I wouldnt mind at all, sound like a good idea to me.

we would need to get at least a dozen to make it worthwile

rubberduckey

I would also be quite interested.

garred

Count me in.

milltown

Pencil me in too (work permitting of course).
Might also be worthwhile mentioning where you're from too. Not much sense in a dozen Dubs trekking to Athlone to meet up with two guys from Waterford, eh?

Dublin man here, obviously.

Curran

Count me in too.....be well up for that.....so ya's can show me how to play the damn game...........lol :rolleyes:

Dublin also!

TheDoc

I'm 17 so travel is a problemo.

Halo

Im from Swords too....so i could give ya a lift.....no hassle!

Dman_15

I'm in donegal.

I would travel to dublin if everyone else was from there.
(I would have to beat you all though)

Thats a great idea - I'd be on for that too. I'm not in the handicap bracket of things, I've only played a handful of times, but I'm able to battle below 100 now and again (I'm also able to stare down the barrell of 120+ when things go wrong).

I'm in Dublin (Drumcondra) I'd be able to give lads a lift if they needed one.

If you are planning a golf outing then count me in. I am living in Dublin but I don't have any way of getting around ireland except bus. Is there any chance that the outing will be in Dublin?

Curran

Seems to be a fair bit of interest........have at least 10 there already!

I think its a great idea!!


I'd have to second the question about the guys with no handicap! Cos i have none either......and can also score sub 100 and plus 120 from one day to next!

Happened me last week.....beat my mate comfortably.......played the next day with a few more quid on than usual, thinkin i'd clean up.....lost €50...wuda been more except i managed to claw a shot more than him on the back 9! :rolleyes:

Hi
If it,s in Dublin i can get 6 more plus myself that makes 7 if the time,s are ok

Dman_15

This is looking good now.

Mag, I play my golf out of Portsalon, a fantastic links course.

As for guys with no handicap, 24 is the max but i would like to rely on peoples honesty to give themselves a reasonable hc.

Weekends tend to be expensive for outings, higher green fees and more pressure on time sheets but people may have trouble getting off work. I will look into a few courses in the dublin area, any suggestions?

Curran

Eh lads,
What happened here......we were on a roll!

Just giving the post a BUMP! :rolleyes:

I'd play.
Citywest might be an option they have two courses, one is a championship course, think its about 40 - 45 euro. I can play during the week.

Cheers

So far we have:

Me
rubberduckey
garred
milltown
Curran

Carpenter + 6?
Armen Tanzarian

Thats 18.

Playing during the week is cheaper but may pose problems for people who work. Everyone in Dublin + nearby, get a price for 5 tee slots(20 golfers) for July August time, mid-week and weekend and post you findings here.

The time would have to be 2 or later so i could get there

TheDoc

I am feeling slightly awkward about this thing with you all being total strangers to me. How do I know I'm not going to be raped =P

I'd also need to know times etc to sort it with me parents. I have a busy schedule ahead starting work (on a golf course) and playing some major comps coming up.

But at a reasonable price to play with me e-buddies =P id say i would go.

Carpenter

Well what,s the story any new,s on this game or what

Dman_15

I was trying to get a list of venues together. See my post a few up......

sector

I'd play & i'm a member of the lakes course at city west, I can call & get some ideas how much it would be for what, three 4 balls if I'm with you?

Usually 20 quid for a guest with me, usually 40 or 45 I think depending on day etd.

I don't have a handicap either, but would definitely be interested in some sort of Boards Golf meeting... what's the story with this at the moment?
