How are we looking for spaces lads, my trip away has been cancelled and can now make this if there are slots or waiting list.

Not sure how I can change my selection on Teamer?

We're full in terms of the quota we currently have in place, but may yet have a couple of drop outs.

You should be able to find yourself in the squad list and there are 3 dots by your name. If you click that I think itll let you change your status. If it doesn't let you I'll just add you to the wait list anyway bigchap

I'm going have to pull out of this one unfortunately. Work is mental at the moment and anyone well enough has to work overtime and I'm trying to socially isolated myself as much as possible when I'm away from work too. Enjoys guys

As Much as it pains me to say it but its time to think about calling this off folks people traveling from around the country not the most socially responsible to do atm

And they will cover all my bills and put food on my table, while they look great but still draw their huge salaries

Guys, the committee are staying in good contact with each other to look at our options here. As things stand we're still looking at going ahead, but we have to take our lead from the authorities ultimately.

We'll observe all the necessary protocols, should things go ahead & will post up the thread with some rules for people to make sure they follow.

I'll also be in contact with Royal Curragh for clarification from them.

In all likelihood, I will set up a Whatsapp group for all attendees & share some bank details so that a transfer could be done beforehand to minimise the interactions with cash.

We may not do a presentation afterwards and just put the results through online if needs be. We want to make sure that everyone has a good day out while minimising the risks if we can go ahead.

In terms of a numbers update, we have 42 accepted as things stand with 2 reserves.
1st reserve: BigChap1759
2nd Reserve: DaveGilly

Stay safe. Ye are doing a great job, the whole country is in your debt.

If we do get to go ahead, maybe we should all take a photo of our card and submit that rather than anyone handling a bunch of cards with who knows what on them. Just trying to minimise the risk

"I swear i did birdie 17 holes" :P

Not a bad idea to be fair.

We used it a few years back for a few events. Was good crack from some but some didn’t like it.

Anyway, we all know that our sport is partaken in near isolation and as such, is the perfect sport for these times, as such amateur golf is still safely happening around the world. A great way for people to get exercise, mental therapy and (hopefully!) a little Vitamin D during these next few months.

As have many others, I've played golf through these last few weeks and see how helpful it is to ones mental wellbeing to have at least one thing to look forward to.

Hats off to the committee for the extra work gone into the little details to ensure everything possible is done to limit contact such as minimising any interactions with cash.

I'd suggest also for everyone to take food with you for this one, pay for fuel with card too and don't attend any orgies on the return trip home.

Well if that’s the case I’m with the rover, may as well call the whole thing off if we can’t go to the orgies

Jesus lads you’re not going to get the virus from playing golf.
Don’t shake hands. Don’t remove the flags. Take a photo of your scorecard and post up on a WhatsApp group or something similar. Job done.

Hey folks, just cancelled on teamer. I'm in a higher risk category due to other health conditions, so I've gone into full isolation mode, so much for getting back into golf in 2020

Take care DWD, health is more important than golf all day long.
