Update from Captain Veronica re. Ladies Competitions commencing under Phase 3
Ladies, please see information from Captain Veronica below and take note of the competitions over the coming weeks as set out on the fixtures page. In particular, please note that Captain Veronica’s prize will be played on Saturday August 22nd.
Phase 3 commencing 29th June
Due to the lessening of restrictions in regard to Coronavirus. We are now proceeding to Phase 3. In Phase 3 four balls are permitted at 10 minute intervals. Competitions are allowed. Visitors can play.
Please follow public health guidance and observe all regulations around physical distancing and hand washing. There are hand sanitisers available for use at the club. If you are ill or have symptoms, stay at home.
Ladies and men’s competitions will resume on Thursdays and Sundays with competition slots available on Saturdays. Upcoming competitions will be posted on the website. There are new protocols which have to be observed in relation to holding competitions. Please read these carefully.
For all competitions, the following local rules will apply
Flagsticks must remain in the hole, with the ball retrieving device attached.(Note, a ball must be partially or wholly beneath the surface of the green to be deemed holed. A ball rebounding off the flagstick, back on to the green, is not holed.)
Bunkers: In a bunker, player may place the ball within 6 inches of where the ball lies, not nearer the hole. Players must smooth the sand with club or foot after taking shot. This “preferred lie” rule is acceptable for handicap purposes.
Ladies’ Competitions
18 and 9 hole competitions will commence on Thursday 2nd July. Fixtures are set out on the fixtures page. There will no longer be draws, but the time sheet for Thursday has been adjusted to align as closely as possible with former draw times. Pre-book your slot on the online time sheet in 3 balls. Booking golf on Thursdays will be taken as entering the competition. Players playing 9 hole competition are encouraged to play together. If this is not possible, please join with 2 players playing 18 holes.
Bring the competition fee €6 (or as per fixture list), in your own envelope with name and date written and place in money box in the ladies’ locker room. Please do not congregate in the clubhouse.
There is no sign in book and the computer will not be in operation.
Take your card and bring a supply of 3 home with you.
Fill out details on score card as usual. (name, date handicap etc)
Players fill out their own score and record their marker’s score. Calculate your points.
After the round verbally agree score with marker and write marker’s name on card. Cross out marker’s score Sign your card. Marker does not sign card.
One member of playing group takes a photo of cards and send them to club mobile 085-1574601. The entire card (name, comp ,handicap, date, scores, marker’s name and player’s signature) must be included in the photo and be legible Make sure to save the number to your phone.
Score cards must be returned by 8.30 p,m on evening of competition.
Do not put your card in card box. Your card is your responsibility and the committee will not be chasing up unreturned cards. Please have your card available should there be a query.
