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.

Between 8th and 10th May. I know some clubs are already planning to move after two weeks once they are allowed to reopen and the rest will follow.

Will the casual golf be qualifying if its only 9 holes and 2 balls?

blue note · 14-04-2021 08:37PM

Pretty sure it can be.

I'd be happy enough with that. Hopefully no longer tho

Any idea on when green fees/open comps would happen? I know it won't necessarily be based on anything official, but hoping to plan in some rounds

No idea but would hope by June green fee, society and opens can happened. May be still county based till July.

McGuirks are saying that they are open to fittings from 26th April, I'm not sure they will get away with that.

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 outðŸ˜¡

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)

Russman · 15-04-2021 11:01AM

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 !

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

The Big Easy · 15-04-2021 11:05AM

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.

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?

Nozebleed · 15-04-2021 11:56AM

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

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

Kiith · 15-04-2021 01:14PM

Booked in at 10:30am on the 26th, full 18 holes. Can't ****ing wait!!

PabloAndRoy · 15-04-2021 01:17PM

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

15-04-2021 02:09PM

Time sheets going live tomorrow for the 26th onwards for Arklow. Cant wait to get out and get a game in.

Booked in for Wednesday 28th. Can't wait to slice it 100 yards out of bounds and thinking to myself what is the point :pac:

I think Tuesday after the June bank holiday is the earliest likely date for same. I've said that before and been shot down.

Let’s take a moment to appreciate it’s not Bailey making the decisions on all things golf

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:

ClutchIt · 16-04-2021 09:38AM

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:

A Shaved Duck? · 16-04-2021 09:38AM

Took a few days off work from the 28th, booked in 2 days in a row for 9 holes in castleknock.

My new irons arriving from ben hogan this coming monday aswell.. its so close!

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
