the new WHS (WORLD HANDICAPPING SYSTEM)
To take part in members completions you first need a WHS (World Handicapping System) Golf Handicap. To get one simply get a fellow member, or someone who has an official handicap, to mark 3 cards for you, 3 x18 hole rounds, playing to the rules of golf. Simply enter the number of shots taken at each hole no matter what the score. Write your name & 'card for handicap' on them and when you have 3 done submit the 3 of them into the members cards box in the proshop, you should have an official handicap sorted within a few days. When you get a new handicap you will also get a new golf Ireland card (arrives in proshop about a week later) which will have your golf Ireland membership number on it plus your pin, which will be needed to access the new golf Ireland app, which will keep track of your handicap and all qualifying rounds of golf played. The app is definitely worth downloading. Any questions contact shane.
Communication with Members is preferably done through WhatsApp, there is a private 2021 members group, if your a member and still need to be added then contact shane on 07765407930 and he will add you to the group. Please refrain from posting anything which may offend others. Remember that the group is for all members , Juniors, ladies & Gents.

When you have your handicap, you can then enter club competitions... Competition Entry costs £3 unless otherwise stated, there is also the optional two's bet, £2 in most competitions, this is a private wager amongst adult members and paid out in cash, the maximum two's pay-out per person in any given comp is £100, with any balances rolled over, unless there is a hole in one, then the full pot goes to that person to help them pay the bar bill. eg if the is £120 in the twos pot and there are 3 twos in a comp then each person who got a two gets £40 cash
