Gentlemen,
We may not be able to travel abroad for captains weekend this year due to all that is going on with covid, however we will be going somewhere, and the plan is to hit the town of Kilkenny.
Proposed dates are Friday 3rd, Saturday 4th & Sunday 5th of September.
Friday morning travel down to Tullow Co Carlow where we will play the Mount Wolsey championship golf course, First Tee time booked for 12 o clock so not too early of a start and plenty of time to grab some breakfast on the way down. We should be finished up by about 5.30 at the latest and head 45 min down the road to Kilkenny city where we will be staying in the Hibernian hotel slap bang in the middle of the city, we should be suited and booted and be sitting down to dinner at about 7.30 and out for a few pints after that.
Saturday Morning head for Kilkenny golf club ten minutes away where we kick off with the first Tee time at 12 o clock, again not an early start so we can have a lie in and a late breakfast before taking to the fairways. Like the evening before we should be heading out for dinner for 7.30 and out on the town to take up were we left off the night before.
Sunday morning late breakfast before checking out and hitting the road to be home for around 2pm
Due to restrictions on foreign travel a lot of people are stay cationing and with Kilkenny being a popular place, hotels are booking up very quickly. It would be great if anyone that is interested in going would let me know as soon as possible so we have the correct numbers to finalise the bookings for the golf and especially the hotel.
Currently the cost of the two rounds of golf and two nights B & B is coming in at €278 per person.
Here are the links to the golf courses and the hotel if you would like to have a peek.
