Saturday Competition

07th May – Golf Ireland Gold Medals Competition
As Golf Ireland have not confirmed the format for the 2022 competition, we have decided to change the competition to Maximum Score. Competition prizes will be awarded based on our ‘normal’ sections BUT the members who will represent at the Club at the Ulster final will be determined when the competition bands have been released.

Due to the change to the Golf Medals format we have changed this to a stableford competition. In addition to the ‘normal’ sections prizes there will be additional prizes per hole.

Captains & Presidents Day
Based on a recommendation from Match & Handicap the Council have agreed members must have eight competitions on their scoring record in 2022 to be eligible to win one of the main prizes on both Captains Day and Presidents Day. General Play score will not be accepted.

The only exception will be for a valid medical reason BUT members must notify Match & Handicap at least one week in advance to be granted this exemption.
