Downtown Brown floored

Really just getting a bit of practice in preparation for huge fields in Vegas.

Irishpokerboards.com had a golf outing at the K Club recently, which was good craic. Fifteen of us played both spectacular courses in beautiful weather.

I was teamed with Paul Spillane and we dispatched of Messrs Rory Brown and Tom Kitt handily enough on the Ryder cup course.

Rory is a good golfer and was assistant or trainee pro at the K Club a few years back, but doesn't play seriously these days.

Downtown brought in the big guns the following day though, teaming up with Chris Dowling. Obviously feeling very confident of revenge, they pushed to up the stakes. We played $200 front, back and overall and scooped the lot.

Very enjoyable, I played badly but was happy enough to win three holes for the team. Paul put in a blinder.

The lads will get there chance again in Vegas; gamblers > golfers again IMO.

There was a funny moment on the fourth hole when we were on the green and a ball from the group behind nearly hit the green for the second hole running. Paul lost it a bit and let rip at Eoin Olin, who was standing 50 yards away from Ciaran Corbett, the man who'd actually hit the shot.

Overall a really good couple of days and I'm signed up for the next one already.
