Boards Golf Society 2022

all the lads at the top have 5 events played

I've got 2 games in hand so time to start jumping up the table

At the rate I'm playing I'm going to have about 20 shots at the next outing so am a shoe in to gather some decent points 😁

Oh wow, what a venue for the final day. Being so close do Dublin I'd be surprised if you don't get a good turnout. And it's not too bad for those coming from Cork, Waterford, the midlands. I'd say it could book out!

I should be in Tullamore anyway, so fingers crossed it'll be my 3rd outing of the year.

I may or may not make the cut for this one, fingers crossed I get to defend my MJ Captain's prize!

Space may be lobbying behind the scenes for me not to make it! 😄

My handicap is around the same while his is less than half I think! It's all a blur at this stage, much like the night after in Kilkenny, but it was one of my best days on a golf course and reignited my love for the game and got me back into club golf. The place was looking great when I was there recently for the Irish Open, so really looking forward to making it back.

Tullamore is another favourite, but my presence there depends on missing the cut for our own Captain's, so will be bitter sweet either way!

Great choice Fix and shaping up to being a great end to a cracking year!

Is there a starting tee time known yet for Mt Juliet? Going to stay over, but trying to figure out if it makes more sense to stay on the Friday or Saturday. TIA

Out of curiousity and planning a trip myself, do you mind me asking how much you paying for St Andrews.

PM is fine if not comfortable putting here. We are been quoted 550 with one other course

we play with a club over there, The New Club St Andrews (https://www.newgolfclubstandrews.co.uk), my brother is a member and a St Andrews Links trust ticket holder so he gets 1/3rd rack rate green fees for visitors. We are over for 2 days Ryder cup style competition, in its 15th year. 12 of us heading this week

Typical rack rate high season for Old is £270, but you can't book ahead, maybe you can with these tour groups and thats why they charge a premium, normally you try for the ballot 2 days prior to the day you want, so for example after Tuesday at 3pm you can go into the Friday ballot. You will learn around Wednesday at 4/5pm if you’ve got in, that will be at full rate.

There are a number of Authorised Providers (Golf Tour Operators and Local Accommodation Providers) offering packages, including guaranteed Old Course tee times, throughout high season (April – October).

Authorised Providers can be recognised by the official 'Authorised Provider' logo displayed on their websites and social media platforms.

Single golfers with suitable handicaps who wish to play the Old Course without an existing tee time should check in at the Old Pavilion on the day of play and the staff will do their best to join them with a two or three-ball group. There is no obligation on the existing golfers to make up a four-ball but common practice is that single golfers are warmly welcomed. With patience, this can be successful but there are no guarantees

There's 7 courses under the St Andrews Links trust. Old/New/Jubilee/Castle/Eden/Strath and Balgrove.

Prices, as with everywhere, are going up again next year. I often go end of March aswell, catch the end of the low season till March 31st, its only £135 to play the Old, but you do use Mats.

What we have found is you can get good off season deals with gleneagles aswell and we have started staying in dundee as an alternative as st andrews is gone very expensive.

We are nearly always looking for people to come, we just filled our team for this year last week, and the golf is all subsidised by the scottish team who take us as guests
