Lord Mayors Clontarf

JCDUB

Anybody know what sort of time you're looking at playing matches if you are lucky enough to qualify to matchplay stages of the Lord Mayors Cup?
I have work committments but could make it for around four or so, obviously presuming I play well enough to qualify:D
Also anyone know when timesheet comes out ie definite date?
Can't find much on Clontarf GC website, just past results and stuff...

Hunty

Hey. I'm a member in Clontarf. The timesheet opens at 10:00 on Wednesday 25th of July. I'd advise ringing up early and getting an early time on the timesheet because if you go out after around 9:00, you could have a ver VERY slow round on your hands!! Trust me!!

Here's the way it works:

Sunday: Qualifying, 1 round strokes. Best 64 gross scores to qualify (no ties) (7:00-15:30)
Monday: Top half of the draw 1st round (15:00-17:00)
Tuesday: Bottom half of the draw 1st round (15:00-17:00)
Wednesday: 2nd round (15:00-17:00)
Thursday: 3rd round (16:00-17:00)
Friday: Quarter Finals (16:30-17:00)
Saturday: Semi Finals (10:00)
Final (14:30)

If you have a good score in the qualifying round and you think/know you're going to qualify you can request a late time for the matchplay section and the competitions secretary will do his best to facilitate you. You can also request whether to play on the Monday or Tuesday for the 1st round.

Hopethis helped ya!

any more info????

Hunty

Ask me anything you want.

Prizes are given out for:

Best gross qualifying score
Best net qualifying score
All losing quarter finalists
All losing semi finalists
Runner-up
Winner

Anything else you wanna know just ask.......

Oh and by the way, forgot to mention its a junior scratch cup so handicap is limited from 5-9
Also, in the matchplay and qualifying sections, handicaps do not matter, i.e. no shots are given in the matchplay stage

Mister Sifter

sounds good. thanks for your help! i'm only recently over from scotland so i'm still trying to get to grips with the golf scene over here.

do i phone up to enter or will i need to get hold of an application form?

Hunty

Not too sure to be honest cos I'm a member in Clontarf so I just booked it at reception myself when I was up there. If you ring the club on monday you'll be able to find out though

JCDUB

Thanks a million Hunty, appreciate all that info, hope you do well.No doubt you will with all that local knowledge:D
Played Clontarf a number of times and the greens are like Chinese writing to me, unreadable:o

Mister Sifter

Thanks for the help hunty! Think i'll give it a go. Might try and get along for a game on the course beforehand though. Looks good from the pics on the website.

Hunty

No problem guys!!

Can't play myself this year.....too low :mad: . But hey, I won it last year so it's ok!!! :cool:

What course are you both from??

Mister Sifter

Recently joined up at Elm Green. Playing off 5 there.

JCDUB

Fair play Hunty, winning that's an achievement to be very proud of. I could do with a good local caddy, you're hired;)

I'm in Forrest Little, off 8, first year I'm eligible to play (opposite to you, I was too high!) so lookin forward to it.Would just be happy to qualify, considering I could be giving up to three shots the matchplay will be tough, but will enjoy it either way.

Got into the Lumsden as well so a good few weeks coming up shortly..
You playing Lumsden Hunty?Or you Graeme?

No, what's that mate? Same kind of competition i take it? I'm not really up on the golf scene over here yet.

What was the qualifying score for the Lord Mayors last year Hunty?

JCDUB

Alright Graeme,

The Lumsden is a two rounder in Royal Dublin (beautiful links near Clontarf). They took the lowest 140 applicants I think to a maximum handicap of 7.9, guess what my exact is:p

It's just straight up nett scores over the two rounds, first time for me but looking forward to it.It's a beaut of a course and two rounds for €20 is a steal and a half.

Sorry you missed the boat on the application, at least you'll get into the Lord Mayors, anything else coming up I'll try to PM you if I remember.

Thanks, that would be brilliant. i'll need to keep an eye out for that Lumsden one next year! sounds excellent.

Mister Sifter

Did many people from here play in this on sunday?

I sneaked into the matchplay with a 76... despite trying my best to throw it away at the end with 2 double bogeys!!
