Inter Club Competitions

If anyone is interested in representing the Club in any of the Inter Club competition this year, please return the Qualifying Criteria post before putting your name on the relevant sheet in the members room.

Saturday Tee Times

Some members are experiencing problems the tee time booking on the HowDidiDo App and website. If you are one of those members please contact Keith Hanna and he will update your booking accordingly.


2022 / 2023 Membership

Membership forms are available in the members room or can be downloaded from the Membership Page.

As was previously posted, if your membership has not been paid by Friday 15th April, in additional to no longer holding an official Golf Ireland Handicap Index you will be blocked from signing into Club Competitions.

Tee times can be cancelled and amended using the Touch Screen in the Members Room.


Rules

From 1st April 2022 all Clubs will revert to the rules of golf regarding score cards with the requirement for a marker to complete and return a physical score card with both signatures on it.  Members can still enter their scores into the handicap system via the Touch Screen or the HowDidiDo app.
Also we expect members to put all Handicap Index, Course Handicap and Playing Handicap on the score cards. DQ penalties will apply to the Handicap Index.

Match Play

The entries are open for the 2022 match play competitions. Visit the Match Play page for further details.


Transportation [Buggies]

Our transportation policy states:
During a round a player must not ride on any form of transportation during a club competition except as authorised or later approved by the Match & Handicap committee.

Penalty for Breach of Local Rule: The player gets the General Penalty for each hole during which there is a breach of the local rule. If the breach occurs between the play of two holes, it applies to the next hole.

As there has been an increase in members using buggies Match & Handicap want to compile a list of members who are using them. So, we would ask ALL existing members who use transportation and any new members wishing to use transportation during 2022 to email keith@greenacres-golfclub.co.uk, so he can complete the list.
