BGS 2024 - Round 6 Macreddin - 17th August 13:40

I'm disappointed to miss this one. I've played the course twice and it's wonderful. I'm not sure of my score exactly, but I'd say I definitely broke 40 points over those two days. It's a brutally hard course - long, narrow and the misses are often into gorse bush. But it's tremendous fun. The downhill par 3 is great - you're taking off about 3 clubs it's so far downhill. Then one of the days it was into a big wind, so I was adding on a few more. The ball in the air and I had no idea if I was going to land short of all the stuff you need to clear or fly all the way over the green into the trees. It was the latter. The par 4 12th is a great hole - it's not so much about being brave on the hole or not - it's more that you'll have to choose to be brave on the tee or your approach.

17 is a perfect NTP hole, but I think 4th is a little better again due to the element of chance with the tee shot. I think 15 should be grand for LD - the only thing I'm wondering about is whether the path running across the fairway could catch the really long drives if the conditions are favourable. I wonder would 10 be a good one? I think the green is just out of range, but it's a relatively safe drive and really you're just lashing it in the direction of the green. Or on the front 9 the 3rd and 8th have endless room to keep running on the fairway. I just wouldn't recommend missing the fairway on either. But any of those 3 or the one you mentioned will be perfect really.

Looking forward to this 1 also and scratch another course off the list. I’m hitting for 80 played now and done a good few this year. Great reports on this aswell and a buggy might be nice considering the travel time for this, I might get out as early as possible and probably not hang around afterwards with the later tee time unfortunately.

Hi guys,

Having same issue trying to book on some of the lines available. I have app version 1.0.99

Thank you

Uninstall and reinstall app but unfortunately was unable to book a tee time for macreddin

I was able to book there again so should be all good.

Nice one @a post punk , got booked in on the 14:20 slot. Thanks a million

Country club bob with the prawn sambo's. @awec that sounds top notch,

Sounds like it should be reduced points for this one. Maybe even negative marking for those outside of the top three.

And points for those that are missing it.

So the plan is;

Reduced points for the top three.

Those finishing outside of the top three get docked points.

Compensation points for those who can't make it.

And awec has to make sandwiches for those who are missing out on these ones too in Waterford. Blaas of course.

is there not a pub Actons in Macreddin village that has a bar menu - that might suit you
