IRISH 4 BALL STABLEFORD

Don’t forget to wear something green next week

More Irish Jokes

Murphy applied for a fermentation operator post at a famous Irish firm based in Dublin.

A Polish man applied for the same job and since both applicants had similar qualifications, they were asked to take a test by the Manager.

When the results were in, both men had scored 19 out of 20.

The manager went to Murphy and said, “Thank you for coming to the interview, but we’ve decided to give the Pole the job.”

Murphy, “And why would you be doing that? We both got 19 questions correct. This being Ireland and me being Irish, surely I should get the job.”

Manager, “We have made our decision not on the correct answers, but on the question you got wrong.”

Murphy, “And just how would one incorrect answer be better than another?”

Manager, “Simple. On question number 7 the Pole wrote down, ‘I don’t know.’ 

You put down ‘Neither do I’.

  • Best value for money golf course on the Sunshine Coast. A really fun course layout, forces you to use multiple clubs off tees And have good course management. The grains are in great condition and are really receptive

    Liam Henderson

  • Fantastic golf course! Really well setup with signage, sand buckets, and ball cleaners on most tees. This course is designed for playing 1-18 consecutively rather than stopping midway. A ‘grip it and rip it’ mindset will lead to disappointment as there are many hidden hazards (yes I speak from experience!). Some of the fairways are deceptively narrow or have huge swathes of flanking rough hard to see from a distance. Lots of variety! Long par 5s to short par 3s and everything in between. Take care when walking between tees as its easy for first timers to get disoriented. At just $40 I felt it was great value and would definitely go back.

    Daniel Bowater

    carl gall

    Karen Lilliebridge

  • Beautiful fairways and greens, quite a walk but worth every step. We played in the afternoon and was very pleased with the price and quality of the course.

    Hendrik van Aswegen

  • Lovely course. Challenging enough to make it fun, but not too difficult for high handicappers

    Jonty

  • Great place to play golf. Course is a good challenge for all HC’s. Very picturesque,but if you walk it the last couple of holes uphill might get you. Very limited parking. Worth a look.

    Daren Muddle
