    So here are the rules governing the handicaps. The aim of the rules is to be fair and equitable to everyone, and will hopefully mean everyone has a chance to end up in the winners enclosure.

    This is not for the purposes of debate.
    Just information.

    Any background Seve - on how the (-3) figure came about above for 1st.

    Is it felt this will mean - you will only win once in year ? What impact do you feel this will have on outcomes next year.

    I guess more golfers will be in the mix all year for GOY ?

    Just curiosity how you feel this will impact on results ?

    Every year the society is evolving and some things will be changed and others left as is. Over the years we've had multiple winners and new winners and we want as many members as possible to be in with a chance of winning an event.

    tis more or less as it was last year fix, just a little tweaking, trying to be fair to everyone. not intended to limit wins to once a year, but more to give everyone a decent chance to get into the winners enclosure.
    there has been confusion in the past as to what the rules actually were, so now everyone knows them.

    furthermore, the results of each outing will be posted, but alongside them will be the handicap adjustments so keeping you all informed and aware of how you handicap has been adjusted through the year.

    edit.... charlie was writing his reply as i was doing mine so only seen his one after i posted this

    Very sorry to hear the news of your absence. Who is going to keep me on the straight and narrow this year ?????.

    Surely you will manage to get one or two in. Some great courses which will be hard to resist especially in the summer sunshine.

    Scrubs - would you be able to get down to Portmarnock for a last throw this year - a few pints that night.

    I owe you a round.

    Can't make The Heritage as real life friends have scuppered things and I'll be down in Belmullet playing Carne.

    But I'm in for the rest, hope to make most of them. Enjoy the day lads, sorry I can't make this one Seve.

    I can't make the first one unfortunately, and it looks like a few clash with a work society. But I'd love to make as many as I could.

    Dam dam dam that's my game plan for 2015 blown out of the water, was hoping to come into the captain's 2015 with only four played and a game in hand just behind the leaders but unfortunately this list is just too juicy maybe i can give the potholes in monty a miss but it looks like i'am i'll just have to play the rest(all being well).
    I suppose i'll do a macker and get out of the traps fast with a early win. Really looking forward to getting the dust off the clubs and teeing it up in the herritage hopefully we won't need orange balls.

    ps captain are you sure carlsberg aren't sponsoring us ?

    I'll hopefully be going that way Dan but won't know until midweek before the outing for sure. Just had a new arrival last week so waiting to see if I can get the permission slip signed, looks good at the moment.
