Gold Coast Golf Club Notes 4^th November 2018:

Winter League 2018/2019

Our 2018/2019 Winter League kicked off last week with both a great turnout and excellent scores to match. The format of this year’s league as was evidenced last year lends itself to getting players to play and that certainly happened last week. Apart from Saturday, players made use of the fine weather conditions all week and between Sat 27^th Oct and Sun 4^th Nov, 190 scores were recorded

In that Tom White has rallied his troops again this year with 33 rounds played totalling 1,248 points(Av 37.8pts), followed by Nicholas Fitzgerald’s Deise with 1,059 points(av 34.2pts) over 31 rounds and Pat Power’s Dungarvan with 1,057 points (34.1pts)over 31 rounds. Nire/Tourneena and Copper Coast got 28 and 27 rounds in respectively but Johnny Hughes Ballinacourty and Geoff Collins Abbeyside will have to get busy with the snap chat to mobilise their troops. Although Ballinacourty only got 22 rounds in, their average score equalled Dunhill’s with 37.8pts

No team got all players out yet but Dungarvan,Ballinacourty, Tourneena & Deise got 13 out of 14 players out and Dunhill, Copper Coast & Abbeyside got 12 out of 14

Good to see the ladies doing well with Rosie Murphy top of the list shooting 38,40 & 42pts , with all seven ladies getting their rounds in

Well done to all for participating and getting out there and hoping the weather will stay favourable to getting more rounds in over the coming weeks

Gold Coast Golf Club Notes 29^th  October 2018:

Winter League 2018/2019

Our Winter League started on Saturday 27^th next last

This year we’ve 7 teams competing made up of 13 men and 1 lady

Teams as follows, team captains at the top:

We presently have all teams filled with a few names on the standby list should substitutes be required. To allow a little more time to compile scores before the weekly notes on a Monday, the 1^st week will start on Saturday 27^th October-Sunday 28^th October & Monday 29^th October to Friday 2^nd November

The final or 15^th week will finish on Friday 8^th February,2019 after which the match play rounds will commence.

As last year, the 10 best cards to count from 11 out of 14 players, which can be played any day of the week and as many times as you want. As history dictates, the teams and players who play the most rounds generally come out on top…so the moral of the story is the more you play the better chance you have!!

Entry fee is once again €25 which all goes to the prizes and the daily competition fee is €7 for the first 10 rounds and €5 thereafter.

To date we haven’t secured a sponsor for this year’s League as the Premium Butcher are bowing out this year. For the last number of years the Premium Butcher/Dawn Meats have being invaluable sponsors to the Winter League and our club and members are hugely appreciative of their contributions in the past and wish to thank them sincerely for supporting past Winter leagues.

As mentioned last week, the Ladies club run only a 10 hole winter league but to facilitate ladies who would like to play 18 holes over the winter (in addition to their 10 holes WL), each of our teams includes one lady member also. The same rules applies as the men, best 10 cards etc . In the match play section the ladies would play each other. This means that this year we’ll have 7 teams of 14, giving us 98 participants, the highest in a good few years. In an age of merging Golfing Unions between the GUI & ILGU we see this a step forward in bringing our already close Mens & Ladies clubs that bit closer again.

For the last number of years the Premium Butcher/Dawn Meats have being invaluable sponsors to the Winter League and our club and members are hugely appreciative of their contributions in the past and wish to thank them sincerely for supporting past Winter leagues.

As an add on to this year’s League a proposal has come from the Ladies club who run only a 10 hole winter league that for Ladies who would prefer to play 18 holes over the winter (in addition to their 10 holes WL), to have their scores incorporated within our league also. They would be subject to the same rules as the men, best 10 cards etc This would mean that one lady would be allocated to each of the 7 teams making up 7 teams of 14 players participating. In the match play section the ladies would play each other. In an age of merging Golfing Unions between the GUI & ILGU we see this proposal as a step forward in bringing our already close Mens & Ladies clubs that bit closer again.

We should have more details next week.

The full rules will shortly be on display in the kiosk
