    considering the transient nature of the society, online payment would be more complex and needing more management than existing system . Unless supported by teamer .

    People fairly clear now that no messing, so communication on issue probably gets you there .

    people could offer to take turns to be first at club to collect money and get people away rather than falling to one person all the time.

    If I can help at any outing let us know.

    People know that rules so if they mess up its on them. If they pay the green fee at next outing its no biggie. Its just they say they will and dont.. Not only does this eat into the kitty but could deny someone from playing in reserve on the big courses. Some of the lesser courses are ok with it.

    Membership fees up front before Portmarnock would be ideal so you don't get lads taking advantage like they will join, get cheap green fee on premium course then not to be seen again till next biggie comes up .Just my rant out of the way..BTW can I pay on the drip..lol

    Someone else, maybe, you, definitely not! Was going to ask for your green fees for every event up front in Portmarnock

    As far as I know Teamer can set up payment methods for us.
    Anyway, if everyone gets there early enough and pays Space for the event straight away it will take a lot of pressure off him. There’s a nice bit of organising to each event between taking payments, membership, doing cards etc.

    Maybe teamer is a good idea so.

    I suspect that Teamer's fees are greater than the money lost due to no shows

    It’s actually not too bad. 2.9% and 25 cents per transaction


  • Registered Users Posts: 958 ✭✭✭paulos53


    Roughly that would work out as 30 Teamer transactions equals 1 green fee.



    So it would depend on how often we have to pay out for extra green fees


  • Registered Users Posts: 20,600 ✭✭✭✭FixdePitchmark


    It is beginning to sound like stick to the old paper and pen.

    Up to captain at the end of the day , I think it was god to put things out in open.

    Just seen a good bit of stress last year for a few people and it wasn't right.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,608 ✭✭✭BigChap1759


    Can I request an early time please?

  • Registered Users Posts: 228 ✭✭Snackbox20

    Thank you.

    Just a quick update for all golfers.

    Thanks to our inside man, GolfGraffix, we've managed to secure 2 extra tee slots, which brings our quota up to 44 slots available for the society. So, the tee times now run from 11-12.40.

    As things stand, we currently have 45 accepted golfers on Teamer, so only one golfer sitting in the reserve queue. That person is, at the moment, TimGolfer.

    As has been mentioned previously, if there are any users with a change in circumstances, can they please update as urgently as possible.

    Thanks again to GolfGraffix, and looking forward to seeing all of the extra members out there on the day

    **EDIT - UPDATE** Due to a slight circumstance change, Kiith has moved onto the reserve list & TimGolfer now has a slot on the day


  • Registered Users Posts: 344 ✭✭Break80


    I could take an early slot if possible
    Captain.
    Long drive home.

    The prospective of 44 golfers playing on the day......That's a fantastic turnout and its great for the society to kick off the year in such fashion. Some amount of membership monies being paid in on the day I hope. ;)

    SORRY SPACE, I have to pull out something has come up


  • Registered Users Posts: 20,600 ✭✭✭✭FixdePitchmark


    I know that you tubers are a love hate thing for golfers. But here is a you tube vlog . Lads very hungover and were blessed with the weather , but maybe worth a watch.

    Imagine Golf Ireland paid them to do this. You tube is nuts.

    Where people have requested specific times, I've looked to accommodate. Otherwise, I've tried my best to balance a mix of Old & New members & handicap ranges.

    For those looking to hit some full length shots before their round, Kinsealy Driving Range (http://kinsealy-grange.com/) is about a 6-7 minute drive from the course

    i'll get the cards together at the end and do up the scores, so if someone ahead of me can gather them till i get in it would be great thanks
