Golf Lockdown Discussion No discussion of breaking Restrictions

Keano

Time to discuss what golf is going to look like for next year, maybe more, who knows.

What is your club doing? What would you like to see happen?

Mod note: we have done to death the restrictions(5k jumping to 20k in June) so this is not a thread for discussing that topic, take it to COVID-19 forum

You mean like the caveat that it's two households unless you're training with a GAA team ?

This is what I posted about last month. Having top down led rules for how golf is to be played such as only two households together are BS caveats which have no bearing and are unmeasurable in anyway. Its BS tokenism that uproots how booking systems work.

Far more specific than that. More than two households if you're training senior intercounty teams, LOI teams or Interprovincial Rugby teams. For 99% of teams in the country, it's no training at all.

2 households meeting up outdoors isn't a golf rule, it's a general rule. They'd either need to get rid out that rule altogether or add a cavaet to say that it's two households only unless you're golfing.

I think we're lucky in Corballis at the moment that it's a public course so caters for non-members more than other clubs. And when they can't play it means that the timesheet isn't choc a block now at all.

I'm pretty sure you can still get a decent time to play on 26th or on the first weekend it reopens. I did not expect that. All 18 holes too. They have limited people to one weekend round which was a good idea too.

We're doing 9 holes on Mon-Wed and Sat and 18 holes on Thur-Fri and Sun to try balance it out.

That's not the worst idea. Have they limited the number of rounds you can play?

With nphet admitting yesterday that the numbers are way better than what they could've hoped for, these golfing restrictions should be dumped. They're nonsensical and quite frankly absurd. But then again, cop on is sadly lacking at the moment

Clubs keeping it to two balls or 9 holes is a club issue, take it up with them.

Our club has brought in only 9 hole bookings this is cruel!
This is to accomodate everyone as only 2 balls allowed play. Waiting 5 months for a game and its only going to be 9 holes :mad:

My club too, plus I live in a different county more than 20kms away so I'm not allowed to play anyway.

Did you find a home?

Booked in as a provisional member to one of the not-so local clubs, as they said i could play as a non-member to try before i buy. Pretty sure i'll join there, but nice to be able to make sure its not terrible first.

Won't say where, as its technically against the rules and on the stupidly small chance they'd get found out and in trouble or anything.

Can't wait to get out though. Now that its so close, its almost even more unbearable :pac:

Still waiting for my club to send out details of how we will proceed, never mind tee times open.

Foregolf were saying mid May for fittings. I got the text yesterday that an email is due with a link to book but nothing received yet. Anyone else get an email with a link to book?

No link yet, just the original message saying they're going to clear the Jan backlog first. I was originally booked for 1st Feb, so hopefully wont take too long to catch up

im lokking to get back pplaying this summer after 4 years out...do you guys think there'll be much casual golf this year with group size restrictions etc? or will members pack courses all week trying to get their moneys worth..

Most clubs will have to give a certain amount of time to green fees. It's a vital income. I'd say come july and august most clubs will be open for green fees

If driving ranges are open on the 26th, where does that leave ranges at the club?

Falls under general practice facilities or stand alone ranges? I use the club range as my practice range, just more confusion anyway. I'd like to rock to the range (outdoor) and hit a few on a day I won't be playing.

Pretty sure it can be.

That's grand, at least we can start working on the handicaps without having to wait for the comps to come back.

Russman

Presumably they're getting away with it because if driving ranges are open from 26th, its not really much different to Foregolf or some of the McGuirks places(ie Leopardstwon driving range) ?

Pi$$ed about the lefty thing though !

Odd that there no left handed bookings

Hopefully they are, I just thought they're jumping the gun a bit. I assumed it falls under regular retail.

Sorry I should have clarified, no left handed bookings due to worldwide shortage of components. I assume it will resume later in the year but id imagine mcguirks will have the same issues ( if you're a leftie)

If it's appointment only, I wouldn't see a problem. Got an email from foregolf earlier this week detailing how they are returning to business, starting with appointments that were cancelled earlier this year. No left handed bookings being taken though so that rules me out��
