    Just as a follow up: Tralee Intermediate is 10-18 and Junior is 5-10 as per Golfnet.ie (Golfnet) The Tralee GC website is blank on the ranges.

    Just slightly confusing if your handicap is 10.

    And most importantly for anyone looking to book this I see they are advising that the timesheet opens on 2nd May. That's one for the diary lads as this will fill extremely fast, I will be online early that morning..!

    FYI for anyone using Golfnet to find scratch cups, ive tried it again today and when i put in Scratch Cup and Munster in the drop down menu nothing comes back.

    Only way is to put in Singles in drop down and when the list comes up you have to click on the RIGHT arrow next to the Golf Club name and it gives info of GC, price, contact info and also what type of comp.

    i did this and clicked on "Douglas" and was the only way i found out it was Scratch Cup apart from this thread.

    Im finding myself going on to each GC website and checking fixtures.

    I contacted Douglas re this and they said it was a mistake on their behalf. I'd imagine most places will have them in the correct category but at the same time we'll have to be vigilant!

    Played Roganstown SSC. Comical from the start. We were told of a 15 minute delay at the start which was no problem then we went to the tee and we were over an over before we got going. 4 balls at 8 minute intervals does not work.

    The starter was a member who was given a time sheet and then he went out playing so it was a free for all at the tee!

    Over a 5 hour round followed

    I thought I was the only person bothered by this - the people in the Proshop didn't realize the pace of play was that bad, I don't think they believed me when I said it was running at 5 hour pace.

    Fabulous day on a really good golf course, greens were in fine condition.
    Playing strokes in 4balls is bad enough, but at 8 min intervals!!!

    :) They were a lot better than any of the greens I've played so far this year. Probably says more about the quality of course I've been playing, but I don't think I hit a single bobble all day.

    4 balls in any singles competition is just wrong but especially so in a scratch cup playing strokes on an away course from the back sticks. Has to be unusual. Sorry to hear about your anguish which even the fabulous weather couldn't quell given such delays and then such a slow round.

    Serious winning score in the SSC, 65 from a +1 handicap, must be near a course record? 2nd was 5 shots back at 70 which was still impressive.
    Two 76s took the top spots in the JSC accorinding to the results:

    Great score indeed...... amazing its the 3rd SSC hes won while playing with his pal that won the JSC, also his 3rd JSC win.

    Obviously very comfortable playing in each others company.

    Well done to all.

    According to the fixture List for Lee Valley

    Minor: 01/06/2015
    Junior: 21/06/2015
    Intermediate: 06/09/2015

    I'm sure its subject to change as originally Lee Valley Senior Scratch Cup was supposed to be last weekend.

    Sounds suspicious or at least reading the above makes it to be. Out of interest do you know the players in question or how do you know their previous history including that they regularly play together? Never heard of either of them before and a brief search of google wasn't throwing up any obvious wins. Is this him?

    If they went out in Fourballs then it's hard to envisage how it could be dodgy, unless they drew 2 other lads who were equally "very comfortable playing in each others company".

    7 Birdies and 1 Bogey is some going in fairness...

    Played before 7-30am and was done and dusted and left the car park before 12 noon. I appreciate later starters will be slower and 5 hours is a bit longer than necessary. There was fog enveloping the course early in the morning which may have contributed to the delays.

    I'm thinking about it, yes. Have never played Lucan and have wanted to for a couple of years, so it would be nice to give it a go ( Junior scratch, rather than senior :) )

    The only issue is that it's on the Bank Holiday weekend which is a tricky one for me. I need to start working on the permission slip now, lol

    This individual won a SSC last year by 7 shots on same day his mate won the JSC in same venue, end of the field in a 2ball. they are obviously very comfortable playing in each others company.

    Sounds like standard Roganstown 'organisation'. No surprise that they're packing the timesheet out like that though given they've just lost 60+ members.

    Really enjoyed the Roganstown JSC on Monday
    10min delay on the 1st tee - no other hold ups after that
    4.5hr round which is the norm there
    Course in lovely nick and the weather was perfect

    Played as well round in under 4 hours butwe were out early. Hard to see how anyone through the greens were poor unless they got worse as the day went on.

    Nice shooting, are you in the running for prizes? Any update on scores. Was thinking of playing it a few weeks back but the fact it was a Fri requiring time off work plus they didn't have an online time sheet dissuaded me from entering.

    Have booked my place in the Lucan JSC so looking forward to trying to avoid 2 x O.1s there.
