Thank you to the 13 Volunteers that assisted on Thursday 9th April on the second day of the course tidy-up. A lot has been accomplished over the two days by mainly the same volunteers. It would be nice if more members could volunteer their services in the future. Thanks also to Captain Liz , Brig & Sandra for helping on the day.
8th April 2021
Under the protocol, Competitions are not permitted for the present. We can only play in two balls (except if the golfers are from the same household).
Play will also be restricted to 9 holes being played at any one time.
Timesheets will be posted on the Noticeboard tomorrow(9/04/21) for 7 days of week- commencing 26th April. Please help us for planning tee times by:
Entering your name on the timesheet in advance of playing. Park your car correctly so that the maximum number of cars can be accommodated in the car park. This will enable times to be booked for any day during the week.
It is important that social distancing is maintained at all times. Also, use the hand sanitizer provided.
Purchase of ” Lake ” golf balls. I have been contacted by a small business in Limerick that specializes in selling all brands of golf balls, the owner is Fergus Chawke.
I purchased 36 Srixon balls from him, which cost €40 including delivery & they are excellent, like new.
If you check their website www.irelandgolfballs.ie you can see the full range of golf balls available & Fergus is offering a discount of 10% if you use the discount code of “Clane GC” when ordering.
It is an Irish-owned company & worthy of your support if purchasing golf balls. Give them a try!
Return to Golf Protocol REPUBLIC OF IRELAND 26th April 2021
Golf Clubs can reopen from Monday 26th April for members only; Golfers must only travel from within their county or within 20km of their home to play golf. Further guidance for golfers and golf clubs is contained in the General Guidance document below.
- In the initial phase, the Irish Government have decided that participants in sport and exercise activity must be from no more than two households. Therefore, groups playing on golf courses during this initial phase must be confined to a maximum of two households. This means that all tee times must be either two-balls, or alternatively three-balls and four-balls where players in the group are from no more than two households. Return to Golf Protocol REPUBLIC OF IRELAND Continued
> • Daily timesheets are restricted as follows: • Two-balls at eight-minute intervals or longer
- Three-balls from no more than two households at nine-minute intervals or longer
- Four-balls from no more than two households at 10-minute intervals or longer
- To give clubs as much scope to accommodate golfers within these requirements, golf clubs will not be required to confine themselves to one standardised starting interval each day (for example, should a club decide to organise most of its tee times in eight-minute intervals for two-balls, they may choose to include a block of 10-minute interval times for three-balls and four-balls where the golfers are from no more than two households). • Tee times must be booked in advance online or over the telephone. Clubs must ensure that names are recorded on timesheets and timesheets must be kept for a period of at least six weeks to assist with contact tracing should the need arise.
