We remind you to book well in advance to secure your booking on Sundays and we are really
committed to getting increased activity on Sunday’s.
- The Committee have adopted Golf Irelands directives in that a member is not entitled to win
the top prize on the captains and presidents day if they have not submitted 20 Qualifying cards and
thus have a fully Qualified Golf Ireland Handicap. The good news is however, that you will qualify to win one of the up to 20 other prizes on each day.
- Communication with Committee
If you have an issue or recommendation we respectfully ask that you send a mail to
[email protected] and it will be addressed at or prior to the next committee
meeting and responded to. We welcome feedback through this medium.
The Whatsapp forum was never designed to tackle any issues with sensitivities attached so please use it for messaging, receiving club info and securing playing partners as required.
We are all looking forward to the new season which promises to be a great one with the advent of
so many new members. Looking forward to the captains drive in and scrambling around the course
where we hope to meet new members and make you feel welcome.
Yours Sincerely
David O’ Driscoll
Captain.

When inputting a card at an away course it will go onto your
record automatically (if it’s an official competition). If it’s just a
casual round with another Golfireland member you ( & you choose to submit a round) will need to sign-in on
the Golfireland app pre round, then input that card asap after game. (You must
still be on-site at that club in order for it to work),
on the app too in the same manner as above, if you are having problems
with the app send on a photo of your card, but only when you’ve
exhausted the above advice.
Step 1: Install the howdidido app, When you submit 3 cards a Handicap index will be allocated.
( In addition you can send a photo via email or WhatsApp to speed up the process).
Please put the 3 scorecards in an envelope marked “For Handicap” and leave at the course reception.
- Cards submitted in the Winter season: a temporary domestic Handicap will be allocated.
- Cards submitted in the Qualifying period April to end of October: an initial Golfireland handicap will be allocated, you will need 20 qualifying cards thru the season to have a fully developed Handicap (this will allow entry to interclub competitions in 2024).
After
Handicap index allocation you will then have access to the HDID tee
time booking system for Competitions and casual golf at the course.
comply with the rules of Competition golf the GPS app can only give
advice on Distance, not measure wind speed or direction etc. Try not to
let such devices interfere with pace of play.

- Under penalty, play again from the position you are in. (Option 1 in diagram below)
- Proceed to penalty area & Play the ball as it lies
- Under penalty, drop a ball on the line of flag position & the point where you last crossed the margin of hazard. Going back as far as desired > Option2 in diagram below
- The only difference for crossing over/between 2 red stakes is: you have an extra option of dropping 2 club lengths from where you last crossed the margin (not nearer the flag position), But you cannot drop within or have your stance inside the penalty area.
