They happen to be from Tipp but it’s the yanks that gave them the opportunity.
Dundrum Golf Club & Leisure Centre being closed with immediate effect. IPAS centre remaining open.
To say there have been shady undertones to this whole saga is an understatement.
Sad news . It was a lovely track - played it a few times when I was in a society in Shannon one time
Things going to get nasty there now.
Spent alot of my teenage and college going years in a part time job there.
The village was a growing concern with two hotels as well as The Golden Vale/Bucks.
All three now only good for growing weeds.
When I win the lotto I’m going to buy it and turn it into the Carton House of Munster.
The question is who would you be buying it off?
The Brogans are still involved in some way in the golf club or at least the name of their company is on the deeds. The IPAS is under seperate ownership
Nowhere to have a pint in Dundrum now?
Repeat that for so many of these IPAS centres. Will be a huge scandal in the coming years as to how these contracts were awarded
I had heard a son of Billy Dwyer was taking over Berties.
I’ve heard it’s bought alright. Willie Crowe was asked to take it over.
The course wouldn’t need much to make it as good as carton house…has been in impeccable condition both times I played it last summer. A serious test off the back tees
I’d have everyone from Real Madrid to the All Blacks coming there to train.
Willie doing the finest where he is in Jerrys.
A real favourite for Cork teams coming to Thurles. They’d be having a few pucks on the practice green.
Yeah, he’s flying it there so would be mad to take it on too.
Big Dec Ryan and Mouse Morris out practicing on the chipping green an iconic sight
There are three 18 hole courses in West Tipperary, it’s definitely over subscribed in that department. It’s a noble track though and would be a real shame to see it go.
You’d probably buy it for circa 5-6 million but the fact the IPAS is a separate entity won’t entice many if it goes up for sale.
I’d say you’d want another 10 million plus to turn it into your Carton house standard location.
Who has that capability to do that? Very few barring the horse men in Fethard.
Two Dwyers & a Maher from Boherlahan.
