    Select "Scratch Cup" from the "Fixture Type" setting.

    Most scratch cups arent up yet as most clubs are still putting together their fixture lists. Be early february before they are all up.

    I rang the club yesterday to ask. Not on their website yet.

    Not really sure of the handicap ranges... at a guess

    Senior 1-5
    Junior 6-11
    Intermediate 12-18.

    I stand to be corrected

    Tralee JSC is 5-9 iirc and no drop downs allowed.
    Nice to see it moved to June from the usually early April date.

    played the Intermediate last year and it was from 10 upwards. From memory I think 87 gross won which in the conditions on the day was a fantastic score

    Any idea if the Ballybunion JSC is 18 or 36?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,668 ✭✭✭Benicetomonty

    Only 18 Id say. The senior scratch is 36 but not the junior. Was the case the last couple of years.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 63 ✭✭Neil Andblomee

    Yes 18 according to their website and the senior is 36 (both courses) on the 17th May.

    Looks like 5 and under for the Snr....an incentive to stay at 5 or get lower by May!

    Ya, no harm in throwing in an entry anyways for the SSC but in reality you will prob need to shave a couple off that and get to 3 to get into this scratch cup as the demand is strong and its a qualifying event for the munster team.

    My list so far is as follows;

    22/03/14 Muskerry
    27/04/14 Dundalk
    3/5/14 Munster Strokeplay Cork GC
    5/5/14 Roscrea
    17/5/14 Ballybunion
    24/5/14 Castletroy
    21/06/14 Kilkenny
    5/07/14 Tralee
    6/09/14 Killarney
    13/09/14 Galway
    21/09/14 Castlemartyr

    What an embarrassing score, why aren't you in the junior.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,695 ✭✭✭ForeRight


    I assume that's some sort of trolling?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 20,664 ✭✭✭✭Rikand


    That kind of scoring happens in Moate. If you're on your game, you can really take it apart. Never happens to me though, lol :)

    What is your handicap.
    How could you be 13 shots under your handicap.
    Was it the best round of your life.

    ???? 49pts in Moate would be rare enough - like most other courses. In the whole of 2013 there was one winning score of 49, 2 with 46 and 1 with 45. Maybe someone else did it 'casually' I wouldnt know.

    Intermediate Scratch Cup - 26th May 2013 - Stroke
    Competition Standard Scratch: 71
    Prize Name Handicap Score 1st Gross Jimmy Kassaris 13 78 Gross 2nd Gross David Mullin 12 80 Gross 1st Nett Pat O Brien (Ath) 13 68 Nett 2nd Nett Danny O Connor 13 68 Nett


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 20,664 ✭✭✭✭Rikand


    There was still 1 winning score of 49 though as you said yourself. Obviously my sample size is probably based on years and years of hearing about scores over there, so it would be quite an accumulation.

    I'm not trying to put Moate down or anything, I'm just saying if someone is on their A game, in the summertime, it's definitely possible there.

    49 pts should never be possible.

    Should be an immediate 5 shot off handicap

    lol, so simple but so effective. Where would you draw the line? What is the points cut off where some1 does not get cut by 5 shots? How did this filter into a scratch cups thread where handicaps don't apply (with the exception of those on the buffer)?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 20,664 ✭✭✭✭Rikand


    Your right, back on topic :)

    hoping to hit up all the local scratch cups myself so hopefully get to moate aswell ,:)
