That's for the reply tatler,have been emailing and checking for GUI opens on next week in Kerry to see what availability and prices. Tralee don't offer any gui rate and quoted me €250 a person,Waterville is €150 per person with gui card,Killarney has an open on next Wednesday for €60,I watched Irish open in Kerry a long time ago,think this is the course that was played that year so it's a possible front runner offer at the minute. Stumbled across a course called Beaufort near Killarney too and looks decent enough,like you say if the weather is decent it will make all the difference

Heading to Kerry for a week shortly,spent a weekend in Killarney drinking pints a long time ago but would be hopeful of getting a bit more done this time with family,anyone any suggestions or things they recommend to do weather permitting.

Anyone been up Carrauntoohil Mountain? Has been discussed amongst the group as something to do,I'm assuming it's not for the faint hearted,biggest in Ireland. We wanna go to dingle,Waterville,ring of Kerry etc but would love to hear peoples thoughts

Heading to Kerry on a family trip shortly for a week,plan on playing at least one round of golf lol see several opens on with good deals regards price so that's a bonus,old course at ballybunnion is 275 euro a round online,might be a stretch but the 2nd course is €80 so would maybe consider playing it,be cool to see that part of Kerry and the big course up close.

Courses I have been checking for golf opens and times have been ballybunnion,Waterville,Tralee,dooks,Killarney and dingle.anyone any advice or have played any of them?? Ps would anyone know maybe a member at ballybunnion that would let me accompany them on to the old course and il get them a few pints after  :P

Round of league games on both the 15th and 17th july? Would that not be the one week in the whole calendar you would think would have no games let alone two  :-\ ::) that's bound to be peak holiday season for club players surely

Double round 29th and 31st July as per website.

Where is 15th and 17th info from?

This is in regards to seniors and intermediate im told,the games called off last Friday as a mark of respect to Damien are now being playing on the 17th July. It seems to be common knowledge in my clubs WhatsApp group and the same applies to the teams we will play that weekend who also said they were told the same,I wouldn't like to be relying on the county board for some common sense but I think even they will see this is a bad idea

I'm the market for a new car,been looking at a Volkswagen arteon,anyone own one or have any views on them? Looking a car with a 'big boot' as the wife keeps saying as the family is expanding by one,I kinda had thought of a jeep type vehicle initially like a Tiguan,Touareg or t-roc 🤷‍♂️ Anyone any pros or cons for them,I'm pretty clueless when it comes to wheeling and dealing cars

Also someone at my wife's work is telling her we should consider interest free credit card to help with deposit to keep down payments and interest that needs to be paid???

Have a 1/2 marathon too,Likely the same one as was mentioned above. Ran the bundoran 10 miler few weeks ago in 1.17 so was hoping I would be able to stay with the 1.45 pacer next week but have never ran a half marathon race so could be wishful thinking. Training has been so so but gonna try buck myself up in the next 10 days or so to give the body a chance in the race,considering running the 13.1 this sat just so the body knows it can do it,would leave me 8 days to race,prob not ideal

Know of a club in Tyrone who have had the same ref for 3/4 games in the league,if you had the same ref 3 times in the one year it would seem strange let alone that,how hard can it be to rotate them slightly. Also point won't keep killeshill up as Owen roes will most likely lose to tattyreagh.losers of the aghaloo v stown game will also be relegated

I would of thought their wouldn't of been league fixtures on the weekend dromore and Moortown play in Ulster due to the leagues being so tight and some teams gaining an unfair advantage in knowing what points teams have before they play their league refixture against the Ulster representatives

What's wrong with Matthew Walsh?

Think he's in London, big job in the city

Does he feature for a club over there? Big job in the city. Fair play.

Think he's with Fulham Irish. He was in Dublin for a while before as well, played a bit for a club down there before returning to clarkes last year to help them to a championship.

Some game last night. What age is McCusker, 40? classy player

Paudie McNulty was best player on show. the man should really have an all ireland medal. that ship has sailed but you have to wonder what way his county career could have gone with a consistent run of games in the middle.

I think he is 36.

Surely McCusker is older than 36. He seems to have been around for a lifetime and his introduction last night changed the game. A calm head, took the scores to settle Dromore down and got a wee bit of niggle going which upset the Clarkes rhythm when they were on top
What a game, full credit to both teams

Played in the 2004 county final it was said in the interview after the game,a top top player for a very long time

Some TVs have a mirroring function as well. Maybe check that first.

Yeah googled that option and tried to set it up but can never get the option of my tv to show up on the screen mirroring section of phone. Random thing is if I'm watching a video on Facebook it always alerts me to the option of connecting to my tv and watching it there,does it quickly and works every time but that option don't seem available when I'm watching gaa game on beosport.annoying watching on phone when 55" across the room.

Il have a look at this chrome cast option that was mentioned above maybe
