Green light for the autumn leagues

We have had a fantastic response to our autumn leagues with 6 teams taking part with 7 players per team. We are looking forward to getting the competition going this weekend. Essential course maintenance of sanding and coring the greens took place last week so we now have the green light to get started from this Friday, October 9. Play will be every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. We are hoping to run the league over 4 weeks. One gross score and two nett scores from each team will count every week. The top 3 teams will qualify for the final. Each player can only play once, €5 to play. Please, no practice on the day you play the competition. Draw times are as follows: Fridays 2.30pm.

Saturdays and Sundays will have three draw times, 10am, 12 noon and 2pm. You can, if you need to, play outside these times as long as you do not play with a member of your own team. Also, you cannot mark the card of a member of your own team. Weekly prizes will consist of best gent, best lady and best gross. All details regarding teams, captains and rules are at the clubhouse and on social media. Please have a quick read over the rules before you begin.

Each team captain should encourage their team along the way and please make every effort to play your game for your team each week. Only members who entered the leagues can play in this competition.

With 6 teams taking part, it is a fantastic number to make it a competitive and enjoyable competition. Let’s enjoy it and best of luck to everyone.

Please follow all Covid guidelines as always. Our members have been excellent at following all health and safety guidelines, so please continue in this manner to keep everyone safe.
