Scratch Cups 2015

Called the club house again and they confirmed there was a serious mess made. There was confusion between when it was supposed to open for visitors/members.
They are trying to sort it now. Looks like it is going to be 4 balls by the last time i seen the time sheet.

Some mess. Rang them there and they had moved one of us to an hour earlier. Got it changed back but I don't think that'll be the end of it.

Lad sitting beside me had a look and now the entire timesheet is empty :P

Some mess alright.

Edit: Actually just looked myself, timesheet empty.

Senior and Junior Scratch Cups

May 23rd

Course is playing really well these past two weeks for those interested.

Question on scratch cups...I always thought they were focused on gross scores with nett prizes also being given. If you look at at result of one in howdidido the scores are listed in nett order however. Is this just a howdidido issue ?

It's an admin error at club level, the scores can be sorted by nett or gross and it can also show both, plus an automatic "lowest gross score" comment can be added by clicking a check box in the club2000 handicap software.

Likewise, think I will try and get a slot anyway and suffer the consequences. Worst that happens is a €40 green fee for Tralee. Still not too bad I suppose. I just love the place

I'm pretty sure it's between 10 and 18.

Hiyas, anybody playing scratch cup in druids heath on Sunday? Looking to play myself at around 1,plenty of open lines and none of my mates can make it

kiers47

Tralee booked now also. A weekend of golfing bliss. Now to start praying for sunshine.

Any boardsies around BallyB Saturday night there will be 3 of us falling around somewhere

Rikand

Raging to be missing both the Lucan and Athenry junior scratches this Monday. Will see how I play in Athlone monday morning before I decide whether to have a dart at entering the Galway Junior Scratch Sunday week

paulos53

I will be staying in Ballybunion that night. I have a 13:40 teetime in Tralee so it will be a relatively late arrival to Ballyb

mike12

Tralee booked up fast got q 1 30 tee time but it was my 5th choice.

Id say we might be in trouble tomorrow. Its been raining all day in Lucan and to continue into wee hours. Hope Im wrong but would be surprised if the course is open in the morning.

Doesn't sound good, day is horrendous here since early morning with incessant rain. Today's competition in BlackBush has been cancelled due to the rain although course remains open.
Any idea what happens if Lucan is closed in the morning, scratch cups cancelled or likely to be rescheduled for some future date? Very messy with fees having to be redistributed and schedules rearranged. Down to play the JSC and have been looking forward to it so really sickening to see all this rain.

Pinkdouble might be able to clarify but Id say rescheduling will be difficult. Open week is next week in lucan and important weekend comps to be played thereafter. Possibly early June might represent a window but, as you say, it's hard to organise a scratch cup and it doesnt get easier the 2nd time: certainly cant see it going down well with higher handicapped members!

AGC

To reschedule is always difficult. Id be happy to let the fee carry over to a rescheduled date. You just don't expect this in May.

Any chance they would call it this evening?**

What time are you playing Ballybunion on the Sunday?

Thinking about playing, there's still a couple of open slots. Might be a bit irresponsible considering I have a final exam on the Saturday and Monday :eek:

But I've wanted to give Ballybunion a go for quite a while and who knows where we'll all be next year :pac:

That's for sure, this country stinks, seriously heavy rain all night as well as yesterday. Just had the sandwiches made when I saw the announcement. Rang the pro shop and they said they were looking towards Sep to reschedule but in the mean time all fees would be returned.

Now what to do with the day, rang my home club BlackBush and competition there was delayed due to course inspection but it's open now again and in play.

Druids Glen Resort : Due to overnight rainfall both courses will be closed for the day.

Was looking forward to the Intermediate today :mad:

Rikand

Sorry to hear it's not going ahead. Typical irish weather

Delighted, was looking forward to having a craic at that but couldn't make today, so hopefully I will be free for the rescheduled date

Walked the course this morning and it is very wet. The fairways and rough are the main problem. At a push, we could have got the course ready for 11 and played it over 18 holes but we felt that this would lead to a huge amount of pull outs and the course would not benefit from it.

We are looking to reschedule this for late August or early September. Our greens are hollow cored on 10/11 August so will need at least two weeks before they are at their best.

We will meet with the competition secretary this week and see if we can thrash out a date
