I agree with you in principal but In practice it’s not always that straight forward. At the lower hc end for example guys could be off laying in the east/west/ etc and representing a province and not get many home club cards in.

Similarly lads could be living in Dublin for example and playing plenty of opens but there home club is bac down the country in their home town.

Do you pick your best team available or the guys who turn up every week..... every managers conundrum

I'd play those guys away, huge asset to have. Keep the lads playing every week at home, at home.

Just doing a few bits and pieces on interun for clubs new website and just don't have any information on this new comp other than it's Fourball and over 55's.

There's no handicap min or max listed on draw sheet so it looks like you are correct. Thanks for the reply.

That post was wrong about no spitting of the teams its the best of 5 matches with the 1st club drawn at home having 3 at their Gaff. There is still squat on the GUI site re terms and conditions.:eek:

Looks like no Min HC and max combined is 42.

Gaff = your home club
Squat (usually preceeded by diddly) = nothing:P

Anyone any info on what happened between Naas and Carton in the Barton shield at the weekend?

Lengthy ruling resulting in Carton going through.

A lot of stuff on twitter about it.

Carton signed for an incorrect score as they had not applied a penalty to themselves and from the comments on twitter it seems like the penalty was a fairly obvious one and was listed in the local rules provided on the first tee.

GUI have a response stating not applying the penalty thus resulting in an incorrect lower score is not grounds for DQ.

That's pretty much it.

The penalty should of been a pretty obvious one in my opinion.

There was multiple penalty areas (wooded areas) throughout the course that are clearly marked with a red and white stake (unusual in itself). It was clearly stated on the first tee, and on the back of the score card, that if you hit it into these areas, then you must take relief under penalty. You actually can't enter these areas to retrieve your ball...something to do with these areas being owned by or leased to Coillte.

PhuckHugh22 · 28-05-2019 4:29pm

What was the course they played on?

I didnt think it was possible to have a penalty area not red or yellow? In which case they seem to be removing an option of relief to play as it lies?
Local rule or not sounds to me like they should be marking these areas as GUR if they dont want people playing from them?
I would have thought you cant introduce a local rule to apply a new type of penalty area.

You can have a penalty area that is also a no play zone. Meaning the option of play as you lies is no longer an option. Not necessarily a local rule

Didnt realise this. Never seen it before.

Thanks for the info

It’s sounds like whole thing was handled badly

I haven't seen it in too many places but the option is there. Safety would be the main reason where OB might be too harsh and allowing play from the penalty area would be too dangerous. eg snakes, crocs or a maintenance area where staff could be working etc

where are the All ireland finals being held this year. Am i right thinking they are back to moving around the provinces to individual clubs and not in carton house anymore

Westport as far as I know

Irishdaywalker · 29-05-2019 12:03pm

Yeah Westport on the 20th - 22nd of September. Was played last year in Thurles, so it looks like it has been moved away from Carton House.

Surprise surprise, nenagh cruising through Munster in the Jimmy bruen.

On Munster GUI site it is saying that the Ring of Kerry has withdrawn after winning the Pierce Purcell section in Newcastlewest. The 3 teams they beat are now back in with Ballybunion -v- winners Newcastle West/Kanturk. Does anyone know what happened with Ring of Kerry having to withdraw?

Played Westport the weekend, its in reasonable condition. I think they are holding back on getting it to peak condition for the finals. Nice to see the finals coming west.

Played McDonnell Cup last weekend for St Margaret's in Clontarf. Great match. Clontarf won 3-2 overall but all 5 matches were really close, 2 going to extra holes. My partner sunk a clutch putt from 20 feet to half the 18th and give us a 1-up victory with the last putt of the round.
The match was played in great spirit, with both sides conversing, helping to find each other's ball etc throughout.
Had a lovely meal and a good bit of banter afterwards. I wish Clontarf all the best in future round(s).

that is rather unusual alright, would like to see the explanation to that one. Most likely incorrect handicaps or ineligible players

Makes you wonder what's the point of entering these competitions when a team manager says "we've been preparing for this for the last two years lads". How do you prepare for bruen two years in advance?? Gotta be minding handicaps yeah??

Think the Munster final is in Nenagh this year, so they have obviously taken it very seriously
