Interclub Competitions

Anybody know what the maximum and minimum combination are for the new Fred Perry Fourball interclub comp introduced by the GUI this year?

As far as i know, its just an age thing, 55 and over

Just doing a few bits and pieces on interun for clubs new website and just don't have any information on this new comp other than it's Fourball and over 55's.

There's no handicap min or max listed on draw sheet so it looks like you are correct. Thanks for the reply.

Anyone any info on what happened between Naas and Carton in the Barton shield at the weekend?

Lengthy ruling resulting in Carton going through.

A lot of stuff on twitter about it.

Carton signed for an incorrect score as they had not applied a penalty to themselves and from the comments on twitter it seems like the penalty was a fairly obvious one and was listed in the local rules provided on the first tee.

GUI have a response stating not applying the penalty thus resulting in an incorrect lower score is not grounds for DQ.

That's pretty much it.

The penalty should of been a pretty obvious one in my opinion.

There was multiple penalty areas (wooded areas) throughout the course that are clearly marked with a red and white stake (unusual in itself). It was clearly stated on the first tee, and on the back of the score card, that if you hit it into these areas, then you must take relief under penalty. You actually can't enter these areas to retrieve your ball...something to do with these areas being owned by or leased to Coillte.

It’s sounds like whole thing was handled badly

Yeah Westport on the 20th - 22nd of September. Was played last year in Thurles, so it looks like it has been moved away from Carton House.

What was the course they played on?

I didnt think it was possible to have a penalty area not red or yellow? In which case they seem to be removing an option of relief to play as it lies?
Local rule or not sounds to me like they should be marking these areas as GUR if they dont want people playing from them?
I would have thought you cant introduce a local rule to apply a new type of penalty area.

It was on in Millicent

On Munster GUI site it is saying that the Ring of Kerry has withdrawn after winning the Pierce Purcell section in Newcastlewest. The 3 teams they beat are now back in with Ballybunion -v- winners Newcastle West/Kanturk. Does anyone know what happened with Ring of Kerry having to withdraw?

that is rather unusual alright, would like to see the explanation to that one. Most likely incorrect handicaps or ineligible players

Makes you wonder what's the point of entering these competitions when a team manager says "we've been preparing for this for the last two years lads". How do you prepare for bruen two years in advance?? Gotta be minding handicaps yeah??

Think the Munster final is in Nenagh this year, so they have obviously taken it very seriously

Just wondering if any of you or teams will be potentially effected by the Leinster Finals in Greenore this year. The reason is the finals are due to be played over the Weekend of The Open and I'm sure many will be heading up to watch.

seems a strange date to be playing the finals with the open taking place, wonder could the leinster finals be potentially rescheduled?

interested to know what ye think.

Leinster Finals on Saturday & Sunday in Greenore GC this weekend.

Pierce Purcell Saturday Semi (saturday)

Newlands v Royal Tara
Cill Dara v Castlecomer

Junior Cup

Tullamore v The Island
Waterford v Dun Laoghaire

have to agree with you, we played them on Saturday, and the 2 lads I played where sound lads (may have been father and son) - gutted we did'nt get through to play in the final but the players for Newlands represented their club very well. Well done to Cill Dara on Winning Leinster

Yes, I believe one qualifier is in Delgany, Dates are 16/17 May for PP qualifying. I didn’t hear of any other venues. Sometimes they are given out at the Leinster golf adm. Thanks for the reply.
