Hopefully. Will the Azaleas be in bloom? If not it’s only half dressed.

Think Irish Open had been brought forward to May this year because of the Olympics.

Open them up :golfing_man:t6:‍♀

I’d say McConkey is mad for a round hisself :smiley:

@Raylan - Fota sent on pictures of the course… they’ve been working away on it… It looks like Augusta. Golf courses will be immaculate

One is required and the other isn’t. It’s no different to people justifying Cheltenham by pointing out the number of people that travelled on the tube the same week.

It’s a joke mate.

I’m serious all the time. Serious like a fox.

As in to close its doors permanently? Were they in trouble before this?

Casltemartyr was definitely. The fella that owns it up to his tonsils in debt. I think they were fucked anyway.

Fermoy and Mitchelstown are surprising because they’ve a big membership, that’s just third party information. Casltemartyr I’d be fairly sure on. Heard it a lot since January

Mitchelstown have been in trouble with years due to the land they bought for the new holes just before the last boom. Think they had finally got it under control, but might be under some pressure now.

PGA Championship at Harding Park Aug 6-9, first major of the year.
Please fuck off COVID-19 and let it happen.

The holes across the road? I heard they were planning buying more land the last time I was there and they’ve a big membership

Ya, it cost them a fortune and then the crash hit and membership fell. I know they’ve had a big push for new members over the last few years but cash still tight enough, so doubt any plans to buy new land in the works.

A club to be financially sound need a good lotto drawing in ticket sales of €1,000 to €1,500 a week.
