    All,

    I've had to change one of the outings. Unfortuneately, due to their Captains day, Mullingar is no longer available for us. This has been replaced with Esker Hills a week earlier - the 22nd of June. Below is the revised fixture list:

    That’s a pity about Mullingar but great work Captain @Alanm on getting a great substitute in Esker. It’s a fair few years since I played it, think I missed last society outing there so will be looking forward to it just as much

    Pity about Mullingar as I was really looking forward to playing there. Also it was only up the road.....which does help 😎

    Well done on getting such a good replacement for Mullingar. Esker is a great course, tremendous fun. I played there last Autumn and had a funny round. I felt I drove very well that day, but did lose 6 balls from the tee. I'm not completely delusional - 4 of those were from hitting the ball on the line I thought was right, but it was not. One was a par 3. And one was inexcusable - I hit it about 45 degrees left of where I was aiming.

    Is there alerts setup for when tee times go live ? (On the app) or is it just a case of keeping an eye on here ? Thanks

    There sometimes are alerts and they can be set up - but we do actually prefer that people stay active and engaged in the forum. The forum is a major part of the society

    Appologies i have been long fingering this post since late last year. Congrats to our new captain Alan.

    I remember playing with Alan in Esker hills the year he joined when his hcp was about 17 and when he was getting into golf, what a acheivement to get down to scratch in a relativity short period of time ( oh to have the the ball/eye natural talent).

    Unfortunalety in that period my own game has gone in the other direction, i suppose partially due to neglect/lack of practice, but last year i hit a new low getting sympathy hugs from my fello boardies(much appreciated at the time) and getting whiped from the likes of benny😭.

    So looking forward to the season ahead my plan is to join a golf course again and put a stop to subsidising yee guys green fees as i have been for the last couple of years🤑.

    Looking at the list of golf courses, sadly i will be on holidays for the Captains and Corbalis is like marmite ( i am not a fan), so i will be heading straight for Portmarnock and hope to have the game tuned to perfection by the time Macreddin comes around. I might even make Limerick my Captains with a overnight stay.

    Corballis rating is lower than normal.

    Par 66 slope is lower also.

    Everyone had a lower cap playing there.

    Submitting score Golf Ireland

    As per the Captains instructions I logged my intent to submit a score on Corballis Links system, however they were closed when I went back after the round so I left the card in the box outside the office.

    I received an email today stating a penalty score would be applied if a score is not submitted by 12am on Wednesday 27th March.

    I contacted Corballis Links today who informed me only my Home Club can add the score.

    So then had to email club looking for it to be submitted for me.

    A word of warning...USE THE APP..i know i will from now on.

    I got cut by half a shot there, penalty for not having the score submitted even though the round shows up on Golf Ireland and I was told by the handicap secretary it would be fine.

    I'll get it sorted tomorrow, but just in case anyone else is in a similar boat.

    Seems odd how some of these have been treated differently. I registered and it logged it as normal. Just another round, no cut, no email from the committee or anything.
