How will this actually work? So I want to play a qualifying round in 2/3 weeks time at my home club , what do i have to do? Will the timesheet have a way of showing who is playing a qualifying round or do you need to register in pro shop? apologies if these questions have been answered before.

PS any update on the golf ireland app? I thought it was to be launched a few months ago

What it means is you can have counting competitions set up on the computer for people to sign in online, enter cards online, pay online as long as you don't call it a competition or publish results

Seve OB · 13-04-2021 10:55AM

just booked myself in for a couple of 9 hole slots in the first week back

lots and lots of available slots still available and went live yesterday morning so definitely not the same mad rush to get back at it this time around

I'm kinda the same, not fussed if I get out or not for 2 reasons and I'm guessing I'm probably not alone here

>Last year I was basically out of work, now I am working 4 days (for the time being anyway)
>no competitions is not appealing

but I do enjoy a casual 9 holes to practice

Physical prizes?

No issue with prizes once there is no prize giving ceremony.

Online vouchers etc should be fine

i agree vouchers should be fine but i don't think the document even gets into prize giving ceremony

but the stipulation is no organised competitions. so the above should be irrelevant, its not supposed to be done full stop.

your point above counting competitions being allowed is not technically not true.

counting scores yes, but not competitions. its all totally stupid, farcical and makes no sense, but it is what it is

To use a phrase from the early 80's its an irish solution to an irish problem.

Sorry I've an android phone. Tbh you're not missing out on much, but I presume they'll improve it as time goes by

Baker64 · 13-04-2021 12:48PM

They are supposed to represent Golf.
Take a look at our beaches ,parks ,greenways.

Nope, they are allowed in all but name. I have confirmation of that.

They can be set up on the competition computer for players to sign in etc. Exactly like would happen in a "normal" competition

Do you mind me asking where you got that confirmation from? I'm not disputing what you say but just wondering if it is from an official source so I can mention within my own Club as a possibility.

IAmTitleist · 13-04-2021 02:28PM

Qualifying competitions from tomorrow at my place.

That sentence alone made me smile a bit,even if it's only for the north I look forward to seeing it for the south.

I'd only love it. The best chance I'd have of winning anything would be if they had a raffle, but I just miss that sinking feeling on the back 9 when you ruin a potentially winning score.

IAmTitleist · 13-04-2021 03:47PM

It will be a strange feeling not having a 0.1 on the line it must be said.

Instead i've basically 4 free rounds until my oldest qualifying score falls out of my top 20. Then the pressure begins haha!

Lip Out · 13-04-2021 05:20PM

I've also seen the Golf Ireland correspondence regarding the updated information on competitions. So as suggested above, they are allowed in all but name. I thought the last line was a little farcical.... "Prize presentations must not be organised, and results must not be promoted in public media." :rolleyes:

They hold 4 scratch cups every year over different weekends during the summer months. Doubt they have anything confirmed yet re this years scratch cups but might be worth a phonecall.

Also worth asking about the Pat Mulcare AM AM, it was €100 when I played it. BallyB and Tralee over a weekend.

I emailed them about that event last month. They said
it was still the intention to run it in late July but would obviously be dependent on the covid situation at that time.

ClutchIt · 14-04-2021 07:26PM

Now the next thing on the agenda...
When do you reckon we will be able to play 3 or 4 balls?
Obviously this is in line with govt allowing 3 or more households meet up outdoors.
I would say May 3rd... which would only be one week.
