Scratch cups 2016

mike12

Can't find the thread from last year.

I see Ballybunion have there scratch cups up already.
Was going to play tralee and ballyb again this year if they are the same weekend.
See they have it advertised as 12 to 18. Tralee was 10 to 18 last year.
I have a feeling they did the same last year but when the booking opened it was 11 to 18 for ballybunion.

Only 2 scratch cups on Golfnet for Leinster (Bunclody and Carlow).

It is anticapated the the Senior will be booked out quickly as the Barton Shield will be taking place three weeks later.

I emailed Tralee this morning regarding their intermediate scratch cup and it is on Saturday the 14th May. Ballybunion then on the Sunday. A great two days golf.

They do it that way every year, just a scramble to get a tee time now.

When are the tee times live for these does anyone know?

Ballyb & Tralee
great weekend last year and I had decent scores in both.
Looking forward to this year again if we can get a tee time

Is Golfnet generally an up to date source for these?

Yep, all you need is 4 or 5 hours free time and your away

Probably early days for a full list of scratch cups to be up on golfnet is it? Id imagine it will be updated in the coming weeks/months. Is there a better way other than searching club by club?

mike12

If you have a idea of the clubs you want to play always worth checking their web site as well.

Hey lads, like yourselves, I found that it's a pain in the a*se to find a full list of scratch cup details online. The boards 2015 thread was the main source of info for me last year.

With that in mind, I've set up a simple web page, which will list as many scratch cup details as possible this year - www.irishscratchcups.com.

I'll add a bit of additional functionality down the line - filter by County/Month/Course. For now, I'll update it based on this thread. Keep 'em coming :-)

Any feedback is also welcome.

Fair play D,

It'll take a bit of getting used to... the domain name is a bit too clear, could you have not called it scratchnet.com or something a little more obscure? The user interface is far too clean, I hope you intend to mess that up... All in all a good start but you've a way to go before you can match Golfnet.

Great resource - gives loads of scratch cups fixture details.

I'll keep tipping away at this one too. There are a few scratch cups upcoming in March I've noticed. In Cork, Fota senior scratch and Muskerry junior scratch cup. Timesheets online soon.

More info on the site - http://www.irishscratchcups.com

Fair play, great to have a list in one location as the GUI site is patchy at best. Would be useful to have the facility of sorting by date or any of your headings ideally.
Another good source is http://www.topgolfer.ie/tour but I see you've already mentioned some of their events so something you've probably already aware of.

Just on scratch cups in general I played in New Forest last year for the first time. Fabulous tough course but thought it was over priced at €30 especially as the greens were sanded and it's quite remote so involves a decent journey for most. I mentioned the price to the organisers after while looks to have fallen on deaf ears since they're adopted a similar price plan this year and really hosing their own members for a staggering €20.

Also disappointed to see Portmarnock Links back on a Fri again this year, missed it last year because it was on a Fri. Scratch cups should really be weekend affairs but some clubs seem to be using them as an excuse to get players in on off peak times or alternatively charging a premium for playing in them which is not the traditional nature of scratch cups.

Noted, thanks. I'll be adding this in shortly.

Dr_Colossus

Thanks, one more to add to the list:
Slieve Russell Junior Scratch Cup, Sat 30th Jul, handicaps 4-9. 36 holes including halfway lunch for the princely sum of €60.

Fine course but on the expensive end for such a long journey but 36 holes does make such a trip a little more worth while. That said their opens are €30 this year so a 36 hole competition is not really an excuse to double the entry fee. With courses such as Lucan (Carlow in the past) offering 36 holes including lunch for €30 they're not offering great value.

Muskerry Junior Scratch Cup booking went online today:

Top 32 (I think) qualifiers play in a knock out competition later on in the Spring.

Updates on Lucan

The Senior Scratch Cup over 36 Holes will take place as a stand alone event on Sunday May 1st due to the high demand of clubs looking for slots prior to the hosting of the Barton Shield.

The Junior Scratch Cup will take place on Monday June 6th (June Bank Holiday). This will also be held over 36 holes and 72 slots are available for this.

I will have a definite date later this week as to when the timesheets are going live

4ball go early, I'm a member there and early 4 hours is the norm for medals later is always slower.
Greens make it slow tough to read and lots of 3 putts if u are not used to them
