Chairman’s Foreword

As the 2019 golfing season is upon us, we welcome the introduction of the NewRules of Golf. I would like to take this opportunity to, once again, thank our mem-bers for delivering workshops on the new Rules of Golf to clubs throughout theProvince.

On January 19th, Golf Clubs overwhelmingly supported the creation of Golf Ireland.The transition to Golf Ireland is underway and the first AGM and Regional Meet-ings are planned for the fourth quarter of 2020. This will pave the way for the neworganisation to go live on January 1st, 2021.

Looking back, 2018 was a very successful year for Connacht Golf. Athenry won theBarton Shield, Portumna the Junior Cup & Irish Mixed Foursomes and the Schools Championship was won byRoscommon CBS.

The Connacht Branch also provided financial support to clubs that organised summer camps for junior boys in 2018.This funding will again be available in 2019, so don’t miss this opportunity for your club and your junior members.

As Chairman of Connacht Golf, I welcome the production of the Connacht Yearbook and I hope you find it a valu-able reference point. On behalf of the Council, I would like to acknowledge and sincerely thank all of the clubs thathosted various events in 2018 and those who are making their facilities available in 2019.

I wish all clubs every success in the various competitions as they strive to reach the Provincial Finals at WestportGolf Club in August. It is my pleasure to congratulate Co Sligo Golf Club on their 125th year celebrations.

Congratulations and good wishes to Mr Jim McGovern in the year ahead as President of the Golfing Union of Ire-land.

I hope 2019 brings you all good health and good golf.

Michael Heaney.

Little did he know when joining Castlebar Golf Club in 1969 that it was the beginning of a golfing odyssey; one that would leadhim, half a century later, to the position of GUI President.

Even if Jim McGovern was blessed with preternatural foresight, it would have been some leap to predict that, fifty years hence, hewould take on the mantle for the Golfing Union of Ireland.

“When I got into golf, I was hooked completely,” Jim recalls. “If I took the mood, I might be out practicing three times in one week.”

Just as McGovern inherited an interest in golf, he has passed on a love of the game to his sons, Barry and James, and continues toenjoy healthy competition with them on the course. Unfortunately, the game did not captivate his other children, Jeananne and Vin-cent, but he lives in hope.

“I still enjoy playing golf,” he states. “If I don’t get out for my Sunday morning four ball, I would be sick for the week. Sunday morn-ing golf is my tonic. I look forward to it. We have had the same four ball together for 21 years now. We play for a few euros. That’simportant. I was always very competitive. I get a kick out of taking the money off them.”

In 2019, Castlebar will not host all of his Sunday fixtures. His home course has been dubbed the ‘Augusta of Connaught’ and Jimwill have the chance to make that comparison for himself when he travels to Georgia for the US Masters in April, for what will beone of his first major functions as GUI President. In any other year the chance to set eyes on Augusta National would be circledand starred on the calendar but this is no ordinary year for golf on this island.

Fifty years ago, when Jim joined Castlebar, the prospect of The Open coming to Ireland would have been unimaginable. Next July,the game’s oldest championship comes to Royal Portrush for the first time since 1951. And Jim will be there to see it.

“The Open in Ireland will be a special moment,” he says. “It will be good for the game in Ireland.”

Like his predecessors, Jim assumes the presidency after years of dedicated voluntary service within the game. After retiring fromteaching, he served his club as Honorary Secretary for seven years up until 2006. He had been elected to Connacht Provincial Coun-cil in 2004, serving as Hon Sec for the Branch from 2010 to 2013 before taking over as Chairman in 2014. After a year as Presi-dent-Elect, he becomes the 71st President of the GUI, succeeding John Moloughney.

“I’m looking forward to serving the Union as an ambassador, meeting new people and listening to people to find out their viewson how golf can be improved,” and “I hope that our teams and our players will have a good year. I’m really looking forward to watch-ing our amateur players contesting and winning. His words come with caution, however.

“I’ve got great enjoyment out of golf,” and “I’ve made friends for life. The Connacht Branch and the Golfing Union of Ireland havegiven me a new circle of friends.”

His best golf may belong in the past but one burning ambition he hopes can be fulfilled in the near future. Perhaps it is a good omenfor this diehard Gaelic football fan that the last time Mayo won an All-Ireland, in 1951, The Open was played at Royal Portrush.“I’ve been going to Mayo matches all my life,” he declares proudly. “I remember going to the 1956 Connacht Final with my father.That’s my first memory of watching them. The only sporting passion I have left is for Mayo to win an All-Ireland. That’s the only thingmissing for me. It will happen but I don’t know whether I will get to see it or not.”

BREAKING OF TIESMethod of breaking of Ties approved by the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews where it is not practicalto have a playoff:

18 Holes Decide on Last 9 - 6 - 3 & 1If still a Tie decide on last 3 - 6 - 7 - 8 & 9 of Front 9If still a tie decide by lot

36 Holes Decide on last 18If still a tie decide as for 18 Holes

54 Holes Decide on last 36 - last 18If still a tie decide as for 18 Holes

72 Holes Decide on last 54 - last 36 - last 18If still a tie decide as for 18 Holes

Team Where a competition prescribes a Stroke Qualifying Round for Teams comprising 2, 3, 4, & 5 Qualifying or more Competitors:Discard the Card which has the highest score and take the remaining cards.If still a tie, continue this procedure, if necessary until only the best Card ofeach Team remains. Then proceed for 18 Holes as above.

NOTE: When conditions prescribe an Aggregate Total of Best 2 from 3, 4 from 5, etc. the discarded scorecardis never used to settle the Tie, the above procedure is adopted.

READY GOLF

The GUI & Connacht Golf Championship Committees encourages players to play “ReadyGolf” in all Stroke Play rounds. Simply put, "ready golf" means that each golfer within a grouphits when ready.

If you reach your ball and are ready to hit, while other members of your group are not yetprepared, then go ahead and hit – even if you are not away – provided it is safe to do so.

Examples of Ready Golf include:• Hitting a shot when safe to do so if a player farther away faces a challenging shot and istaking time to assess their options.• Shorter hitters playing first from the tee or fairway if longer hitters have to wait.• Hitting a tee shot if the person with the honour is delayed in being ready to play.• Hitting a shot before helping someone to look for a lost ball.• Putting out even if it means standing close to someone else’s line.• Hitting a shot if a person who has just played from a greenside bunker is still farthest fromthe hole but is delayed due to raking the bunker.• When a player’s ball has gone over the back of a green, any player closer to the hole butchipping from the front of the green should play while the other player is having to walk totheir ball and assess their shot.• Marking scores upon immediate arrival at the next tee, except that the first player to teeoff marks their card immediately after teeing off.

Key Tournament Conditions Additions & Amendments for 2019

SUMMARY OF IMPORTANT CHANGES FOR 2019Below is a summary of important changes for 2019. However, it is not a definitive list of all amend-ments to Tournament Conditions. Players, Team Captains and others involved in any competitionorganised by the GUI or its provincial branches are reminded of the importance of reading theconditions of the event, contained in this book (available online from www.golfnet.ie). The Unionalso distributes a limited number of printed copies to each golf club every spring.

*New* Fred Perry Trophy: In accordance with the motion passed at the Annual Delegates’ Meetings in 2017, the Irish Sen-iors Inter-Club Championship will be inaugurated in 2019, and will be called the Fred Perry Tro-phy.

Code of Conduct Policy: The Code of Conduct Policy for Championships is a new provision which empowers Commit-tees to penalise players in championships (in shot terms) for demonstrable bad behaviour. Thefull code is contained in the GUI Championships General Regulations.

Ulster Stroke Play Championship:The Ulster Branch will conduct the North of Ireland Stroke Play, previously conducted by Gal-gorm Castle. This event has been added to the Bridgestone Order of Merit.

West of Ireland Amateur Open Championship: For one year only, and to coincide with the Flogas Irish Amateur Open Championship, the Westof Ireland Amateur Open will take place over 72 holes of stroke play, and not on Easter weekendbut rather on 4th-7th April 2019. The pre-Qualifier is fixed for Sunday 31 March 2019.

Provincial Seniors Open Championships: A significant change is being made to the domestic game at Seniors level, with the four ProvincialSeniors Championships lowering their lower age limits from 55 to 50 on the recommendation ofthe Irish Seniors Selection Committee. The Irish Seniors Amateur Open Championship will re-main an over-55s competition in line with those of the four Home Unions and The R&A, but themove by the Branches aligns Ireland's regional seniors championships with those of Scotland,where regional championships run under the auspices of the Scottish Seniors Golf Society havea lower age limit of 50. The Irish Seniors Order of Merit, played for the Michael Hennelly Award,will now by an over-50s Order of Merit in which the five Over-50s competitions will count.

Provincial Mid-Amateur Open Championships: After a detailed analysis of participation figures and player feedback data on priorities, the fourProvincial Branches have agreed to reduce the number of holes played in each Mid-AmateurChampionship from 54 to 36. The Irish Mid-Amateur Open Championship – the season-ender in the Mid-Amateur game – willremain a 54-hole event.

71

Irish Boys Amateur Open Championship: Under-16 provisos on the number of players advancing into the field and the number making thecut have been removed, as has the provision for an under-16 medal. These three provisions were temporary measures introduced for 2018 due to the necessity ofscheduling the Irish Under-16 Boys Amateur Open to coincide with the end of state examinations.

Irish Amateur Open Championship: The qualification provisions will apply as in 2018, except that instead of admitting five under-21sinto the field based on results at the West of Ireland Championship who would not have other-wise qualified, five players will be admitted in the same manner, but without an age restriction.

Irish Amateur Close Championship: The count-back method, as opposed to a playoff, will determine the final qualifying berths in 2019.This is due to the additional difficulty of managing the field starting and finishing time with a sin-gle-tee start (which is necessary in the next two venues for the event), as opposed to a two-teestart.

Students Championships: There are now no restrictions on caddies in these events.

Orders of Merit Points (National): Several important changes have been made to the Orders of Merit for 2019:

• Bridgestone Order of Merit – additional points band for players advancing to the last-32 ofmatch play events. • Bridgestone Order of Merit – inclusion of the Ulster Stroke Play Championship• Seniors Order of Merit – points now awarded to the top-20 instead of top-30. In addition, thesame points system is now being allocated to the Mid-Amateur, Under-18 domestic, Under-16 andUnder-14 Orders of Merit.

Robert Brazill captures maiden Championship at West of Ireland Amateur Open

Robert Brazill survived a test of stamina and nerve to winthe West of Ireland Championship at Co Sligo.

The 21-year-old from Naas showed his mettle on the 18thgreen, holing from 10 feet for a one-hole victory againstIrish international Alex Gleeson. As well as capturing thebiggest title of his career, Brazill has the added bonus of anearly lead in the Bridgestone Order of Merit.

"That's the best golf I've played in a long, long time," saidBrazill, who completed his round in three under par.Considering the heavy rain that fell throughout the finalday, it was no mean feat.

That he birdied the last to keep Gleeson at bay was fur-ther testament to the quality of Brazill's performance.

"It's absolutely unbelievable," said the winner. "I neverthought I would get to here, especially at this stage. I've puta lot of work in this winter."

Playing his first championship final, Brazill was confidentand composed as he powered his way to glory. On the back nine he took control, winning the 12th and the 14th to pull twoclear.

"I think the 12th was a massive one," the winner reflected.

A superb drive put him in position to reach the par five with an iron. After running an eagle putt close, the hole was his whenGleeson failed to get up and down for birdie. The match had been all square from the eighth. Gleeson birdied seven to nudgeahead but conceded ground at the next when he made bogey.

Gleeson's title quest suffered another setback at 14 when he found trouble off the tee. Forced to take a penalty drop, Gleesonlost another hole to par. The championship was now slipping from his grasp. There was at least a small reprieve when Brazillmissed a putt to go three clear on 15. And when Brazill went left on 16, Gleeson made sure to find the green. Playing 17 the gapwas just one hole. On the penultimate green, Brazill had a putt for the championship but his ball stayed above ground.

It all hinged on the final hole. Both players thumped their drives down the middle meaning Gleeson would need a birdie to haveany hope.

And while he managed just that, Brazill followedsuit.

"I hammered it in the back," said Brazill, describ-ing the winning putt. (As reported onwww.golfnet.ie on 3 April 2018).

THE GOLFER & HIS HANDICAP(Extract from 2016-2020 Edition of the CONGU UHS)

Question: What are the ‘Responsibilities of the Player’?Answer: The following is a complete Extract of Section 8 of the SSS & Handicap Booklet

(effective January 1st, 2016-2020).

The UHS is based on the premise that a player will endeavour to make the best score he can at each hole in every qualifyinground he plays and will report all such rounds for handicap purposes.Any player who fails to carry out any of the responsibilities imposed by the UHS is not entitled to a CONGU® Handicap.The player must:8.1 Have one Exact Handicap only which must be allotted and adjusted by his Home Club and produce, if so required, a cur-rent, validated CONGU® Handicap Certificate and/or valid CDH ID Number. The Playing Handicap calculated from this ExactHandicap shall apply elsewhere including other clubs of which the player is a Member.8.2 If he is a Member of more than one Affiliated Club, select one as his Home Club for handicapping purposes and notify thatclub and the others of his choice and supply each away club his Home Club CDH ID Number.(a) In Ireland a player’s Home Club for handicapping purposes must be the club at which he competes most frequently.For ease of handicap administration, it is recommended that in circumstances where a player is a Member of more than oneAffiliated Club, he should select as his Home Club, the club at which he competes most frequently in Qualifying Competitions.8.3 Not change his Home Club except by giving advance notice of the change which can take effect only at the end of a calen-dar year unless he has ceased to be a Member of his Home Club or both clubs agree to the change taking place at an earlierdate.8.4 Report to his Home Club the names of all other Affiliated Clubs of which he is, becomes, or ceases to be, a Member andreport to all other Affiliated Clubs of which he is a Member:(a) the name of his Home Club and any changes of Home Club; and(b) his Home Club CDH ID Number, and(c) alterations to his Playing Handicap made by his Home Club.8.5 Prior to playing in any competition ascertain whether all appropriate reductions to Playing Handicap have been made oralternatively comply with the responsibilities set out in Clause 20.11.8.6 Before commencing play on the day of a Qualifying Competition ensure that his entry has been registered in the competi-tion record, manually or by computer in the manner required by the club or committee in charge of the competition.A player who fails to enter a Qualifying Competition in the required manner is deemed to have neither a score for the com-petition nor a score for handicap purposes.8.7 Enter his current Playing Handicap on all cards returned in a Qualifying Competition even though the event may not be ahandicap competition. This is required for the calculation of a Competition Scratch Score.8.8 Ensure that all competition cards in Qualifying Competitions, whether or not complete, are returned to theorganising committee, and make such computer entries as may be required – see Decisions, Dec.1(m) and Dec.1(n).24Note: It is expected that every player who enters a Qualifying Competition intends to complete the round.8.9 When competing away from his Home Club produce, on request, a current CONGU® Handicap Certificate authenticatedby his Home Club and/or a valid CDH ID Number. A Member playing in a Nine-Hole Qualifying Competition or returning aNine-Hole Supplementary Score at his Away club is responsible for verifying that his correct Exact Handicap is applied in thecalculation of Competition Handicap Allowance.8.10 Report to his Home Club as soon as practicable all Qualifying Scores (including ‘No Returns’ and Disqualified Scores –see Appendix P) returned away from his Home Club advising the Home Club of the date of the Qualifying Competition, thevenue, Standard Scratch Scoreand the Competition Scratch Score together with details specific to the competition format.(a) After a Stroke Play Qualifying Competition, the gross score returned and any Stableford / Nett Double Bogey Adjustmentapplicable. See Clause 19.1 and the example referenced 19.1/1. The Home Club may require a copy of the scorecard to bereturned to support the adjustment.(b) After a Par/Bogey Qualifying Competition, the par of the course and the score versus par.(c) After a Stableford Qualifying Competition, the par of the course and the number of points scored.In Ireland see also Clause 8.12 and 20.11Note 1: Players are reminded that failure to report all Qualifying Scores returned away from their Home Clubs (includ-ing ‘No Returns’ - see Blue Box 8.10/1 below - and Disqualified Scores – see Appendix P) as required by the UHS could leadto the suspension of offending players’ handicaps under the provisions of Clause 24.Note 2: In the event of a Qualifying Competition being declared abandoned or scores returned being determined by the pro-visions of Clause 18 to be for Reduction Only, the player must report the information required by Clause 8.10 to his HomeClub.Note 3: The fact that scores recorded by players competing in competitions away from their Home Club may be reported totheir Home Club by the competition organisers, or through a Centralised Database of Handicaps (CDH), does not removethe responsibility of individual players to ensure that all relevant scores are recorded in their Player Handicap Record.Note 4: Elite players (i.e. those subject to annual audit by their Union) may be required to return specified overseas scores totheir Union or may be directed by their Union to return specific overseas scores to their Home Club for inclusion directlyinto their handicap record.

8.11 Authorise, if so requested, his Home Club to provide the Union with such information as his Union shall reasonablyrequire to maintain a national handicap database and also sign any relevant document which may be required to comply withor satisfy Data Protection legislation.8.12 Provide to his Home Club information regarding scores in Non-Qualifying Competitions if so directed by aUnion – see Clause 4.5(b).Ireland directs that it is mandatory for both clubs and players to report to Home Clubs all Non-QualifyingScores from Team and Society Golf played over a course for which the Union has allotted a Standard Scratch scoretogether with notification of the relevant SSS – See also Clauses 4.5 (b) and Note to 23 (B). Wales directs players to returnNon Qualifying Scores for the purposes of the Annual Review. England and Scotland make no directions under this clause. 8.5/1 Upward Self Adjustment of Playing HandicapQ. Prior to playing in any competition, I am required by Clause 8.5 to ascertain that all appropriate reductions to PlayingHandicap have been made. As a player who keeps track of my Exact Handicap at all times why am I not allowed, by the sameprinciple, to increase my handicapwhere appropriate?A. The Rules of Golf require that a player plays from the correct handicap. If a handicap is entered on the scorecard lower than the player’s actual handicap, the score is acceptable for competition pur-poses. If the player plays from a handicap higher than that to which he is entitled he is disqualified. The self-reducing procedures set out in Clause 20.11 following the return of a score resulting in a handicap reduction aredesigned to remove the possibility of disqualification in a subsequent competition through playing from too high a handicap.‘Self-increasing’, however, following the return of a score(s) above the Buffer Zone has a number of issues:• the player does not always know precisely his Exact Handicap; and• upward movement of the CSS can result in a change to the player’s Buffer Zone that he may not be aware of, resulting in theplayer incorrectly increasing his handicap and possibly being in the embarrassing position of winning a prize to which he is notentitled. Consequently to safeguard the player and preserve the integrity of handicapping, increases in handicap may only bemade by a player’s Home Club after scores have been duly reported and posted at the Home Club and / or on the Union’sCDH.8.10/1 Meaning and Usage of the Term ‘No Return’Strictly, a ‘No Return’ is the result of a player having commenced play in a Qualifying Competition either failing to return hisscorecard to the Committee in charge of the competition or entering a ‘no score’ at each hole of a computer based scorerecording system. However, in addition, a ‘No Return’ in common usage is applied to a return in a Medal Stroke Play competition in which theplayer has failed to record a score at one or more holes and consequently does not have a score in the Medal Stroke Playcompetition. Notwithstanding, such an incomplete card is used for handicap purposes by the application of Clause 19 to estab-lish a Nett Differential. The term ‘No Return’ is commonly abbreviated to NR. These differing situations in regard to a NR are demonstrated in thespecimen Player Handicap Record contained in Appendix I:- In the Stroke Play competition dated 18/05, the player did not return his scorecard. A ‘no score’ was recorded at each holeand the identifier ‘NC’ is entered in the ‘Gross Score’ column. A Nett Differential could not be calculated and his handicap was

increased by 0.1 - In the Stroke Play competition dated03/06, the player returned his card withouta score recorded on one of the holes andagain recorded a NR. On this occasion,however, an adjusted gross score could becalculated by applying Clause 19. Theresulting Nett Differential was within hisBuffer Zone and there was no increase inhandicap.

Players should be aware of the signifi-cance of the Stableford/Nett DoubleBogey Adjustment. This adjustmentallows a player who has a ‘bad’ scoreon a hole(s) or does not complete ahole(s), for any reason, to continue torecord a score on subsequent holesfor handicap purposes. This sustainsgolfing interest and at the same timeprovides valuable handicap informa-tion. See Clause 19.2018 Irish Senior Home International Team

CONGU Changes 2019Limited changes have been made to the CONGU® UHS for 2019. Many are associated with theintroduction of the new Rules of Golf for 2019, but a small number of changes have been intro-duced which are generally for clarification purposes.

The changes, which come into effect on the 1st of January 2019, are:

• Abandoned Competitions where no scores have been submitted – a new Decision 1(q)has been introduced to clarify that no CSS should be calculated, and no handicap adjustments canbe made on the basis of any incomplete scores.

• Players who do not commence the second of subsequent round of a multi-roundcompetition – a new Decision 4(b) has been introduced to clarify that such players must not beentered into the next round and should not feature in the CSS calculation. There should be nohandicap adjustment for these players as a result of the not-played round.

• Continuous Handicap Review – the advice document on the web site has now been incor-porated within the Manual as Appendix Q.

• Mixed Tee Scratch Competitions – Appendix O has been amended to illustrate the treat-ment of such competitions. Effectively the mixed tee adjustment strokes continue to be allocatedin a Scratch Competition in order to maintain equality.

• 2019 Rules of Golf Changes – References to ‘Conditions of Competition’ have been changed to ‘Terms of Competition’ through-out the manual, and references to specific rule numbers and previous documents (e.g. referencesto Appendices of the old rules of golf amended to Committee Procedures) replaced with the newequivalents. Specific changes include:

Maximum Score Per Hole Format – this new competition format where the score per hole iscapped at a specific value over par has been documented within Clause 17.

Practice on the Course - manual amended to take account of Rule 5 allowing practice on thecourse after the last competition round of the day has completed. A supplementary score can besubmitted under such circumstances – Clause 21.

Disqualified Scores – References to rule numbers changed to reflect the new rules. Also the erro-neous use of Alternative to Stroke and Distance local rule used in a Qualifying Competition hasbeen added. (Appendix P)

Clean and Replace Ball in the General Area – Decision amended to allow a qualifying competitionto be played with a local rule allowing Clean and Replace ball in the general area – Decision 1(c).
