Gold Coast Golf Notes 16th July

Gold Coast Golf Club Notes 16th July 2018:

 

Junior Cup in Carrick-on-Suir Golf Club:

So near and yet so far!

Gold Coast lined out against Clonmel Golf Club in the area final in Carrick-on-Suir Golf Club on Thursday last. Gold Coast’s team was as follows: Conan Watt, Ger Bagge, John Hallinan, Seanie Lenihan and John White. The game ebbed and flowed all thru and it was only over the finishing few holes that the game started to swing in favour of Clonmel. Eventually Clonmel gat the three wins required and take the match. We would like to wish Clonmel all the very best in the Munster Finals and hope that they bring home the title. Thanks to Martin Murray and Jimmy O’Dwyer for managing the team, thanks also to the extended panel, caddies and all who supported the team on the day.

 

 

Status of Incomplete Cards and ‘No Returns’ in Qualifying Competitions

(a) All cards must be returned in Qualifying Competitions, whether complete or not.

(b) It is expected that every player who enters an 18 Hole Qualifying Competition intends to complete the round.

(c) Since an incomplete card and a ‘No Return’ may have the effect of increasing a player’s handicap, the club would be justified in refusing to accept a card or record a No Return when the player has walked in after playing only a few holes.

(d) Cards should not be issued to players when there is obviously insufficient light for them to complete the round.

(e) Sympathetic consideration should be given to players who have had to discontinue play for any cause considered to be reasonable by the organising Committee.

(f ) Clauses 23 (GPA Handicap Adjustment) and 24 (Suspension) of the UHS give clubs the discretion to deal with players who persistently submit incomplete cards or make ‘No Returns’ if they consider they are attempting to “build a handicap”.

The Handicap Committee has noted that a few players are not returning cards and asked that the above be brought to their attention.

 

 

Barton Shield:

We played Cahir Park Golf Club on Saturday morning in the 1st round of the Barton Shield in Clonmel Golf Club. Our team consisted of Eamonn O’Donnell, Micheal White, Michael Lenihan and Ger Bagge. Both pairs won their matches and this then set up an afternoon match with Waterford Castle. The line-up for this match was Eamonn O’Donnell, Micheal White, Derek Power and Ger Bagge. The Castle team proved much stronger and our team was finding it tough to stay with them and in the end Waterford Castle won by 2 holes. Again the Club would like to thank Martin Murray and Jimmy O’Dwyer for looking after this team. Martin and Jimmy looked after three teams this year and this takes a lot of time and effort and also reduces the amount of golf they get to play themselves. It is very much appreciated by the players and club officials.

 

New Club Polo Shirts:

Our new blue tops will be available at the kiosk. The new Callaway shirts will cost €35 each. Our teams looked very well in them during the past week and all comments on the shirts has been very positive.
