I just think framing as a matter of health in light of the current situation does more to address workers immediate health than framing as institutional sexism.
It's not a case of ignoring, it's a case of putting your weight behind the problem most at hand.

I have elaborated on my opinion beyond the first response though.
If you choose to believe that a failure to acknowledge is a failure to understand it's importance, then that's up to you.

Would Tramore have a big historical membership ? old school look down the nose type ? although a lot that demographic could well have died off.
The Faithlegg course doesn't get the spend on condition it once did, but it's greens when they get them right are 2nd to none in the country.
Connie147 if you're reading, remember the day You, Mick McCloskey & Marty played Tramore & I told you they didn't allow buggy's
So we are playing a poker tournament in some hotel in Tramore (hotel is a generous name for it) and Nicky organiosed a game of golf for Tramore, Nick and marty Smith against Mick McCluskey and me.
I had played with Nicky before, but I had no idea what the 2 lads were like. Anyway, when I play golf, I like to use a buggy as I dont do that much exercise and 18 holes on a somewhat hilly course is a bit much for an unfit lad like me.
But Nicky informed that Tramore didnt do buggys, so I had to do with a pull trolley.
I wont go into the round in detail, but at the 1st, Mick was 90 yards out and we were chatting about his next shot, Trouble at the back of the green so i suggested a wedge or maybe 9 iron, but Mick takes out the 5 wood and lashes it . I then find out Mick never uses an iron, he has a wood for every shot.
Anyway, it was an enjoyable game and I was playingg quite well tbh, and i think myself and Mick turned 3 up. But as the back 9 went on, tiredness set in and the boys came roaring back to win the game. We shook hands on the 18th, and as we were walking back to the clubhouse, at the back of the clubhouse there is about 5 or 6 buggys parked up.
I says to Nicky "I thought you said they didnt have buggys here?" and Nicky roars laughing "you should never believe a poker player Connie"
Was a great laugh afterwards. But i think I got Nicky back when he drove from Waterford to Waterville for 2 days golf afterwards
Must have a game Nicky when the ban lifts,

Connie rings, society playing "in" Waterville for two days, he needs two to make up the numbers. Was basically pennies to play such a prestigious course and I wasn't missing the opp. Rang a mate (used post here as Nulfish ) and we arrived in the clubhouse at Waterville golf course for a coffee at around 10.30.
No sign of Connie by 11.00 we're on the putting green when;
Connie rings "where are ya"
I'm at the course Connie.
What course ? fucking Waterville Connie,
"We're playing Skellig Bay other side of the village, be quick, it's just your tee time.
"you prick Connie" I got up at 6.00 am to play fucking Waterville".
Connie "I never mentioned Waterville golf course but I knew I wouldn't get you out of the bed to play Skellig Bay.
Was a great two days either way. Vague recollection of waking the Sunday morning on a couch in the hotel corridor under the three seating cushions in my jocks.
Fingers crossed we can get out over the summer. Hope all the family are well, I know there's no fear of you. Stay safe.Last edited by nicnicnic; 25-04-20, 01:50.

Had Waterville booked for May 9th. Friend's wedding 10th. Had the golf booked since November. Distraught it's gone. Pretty sure my mate is more upset about the golf then his wedding getting the bullet.
Had Mount Juliet booked for good Friday. Turned out to be the most beautiful April day. Missed Fota also along with club golf. Second kid on the way in September. The season is almost over before it has begun.

Pretty much written it off at this stage. No refunds from Troon or Turberry only deferrals and that’s only if the courses aren’t open.His rival it seems, had broken his dreams,By stealing the girl of his fancy.Her name was Magill, and she called herself Lil,But everyone knew her as Nancy.

Back in the 90s a girl in our group of friends used to have regular house parties in the summer when her folks were away. Her dad was a sergeant and it wouldn't be unusual for her to sort of lose control / not really care when a couple of the lads would go into the wardrobe and dress us up in the full regalia. It all got a bit too much on time and the two of them went off 'on patrol' around Castleknock around 9 am on a Sunday morning, completely off their face, telling joggers off for running too fast, and dog walkers that their leads were too long. God knows what would have happened to them if they were caught.

If you are of a nervous disposition I'd advise not reading this Washington Post article. It talks about some of the possible silent effects of Covid and complications arising in people who have fought it off successfully in some cases with what was deemed very mild symptoms.

Nothing else sports wise missed at all bar my daughter starting back her GAA training. A great weekly laugh. Would have enjoyed the Olympics when they were supposed to be on but not upset to not have it this summer. In fact I’m appreciating the time at the weekends to tip away and get shit done at home and not be spending sunny afternoons sitting in front of the TV.

He's brought me to play the Killeen course at the Killarney Golf & Fishing Club at least half a dozen times at the Kerryman price, zero.
We played Killeen one morning and after some lunch Mahony's Point in the afternoon on a wonderful summers day. Definitely one of my fondest golf memories. Two spectacular courses.
Edit
Meant to reply to Dice's question the other day but got side tracked. I don't know of anywhere that record the info you were asking about although could well be a database somewhere. It's not something you'd generally see on golf club websites either but most clubhouses will have plaques listing of past captains, many with accompanying photos.Last edited by nicnicnic; 25-04-20, 22:45.

That the number of American covid victims is going to go past the number of American soldiers' deaths in Vietnam does seem newsworthy.
Not sure what relevance the number of Vietnamese deaths has.
