  • The
    first named player/side has the responsibility to contact their opponent deadline, it is advised
    that both sides take the initiative to arrange the match and arrange a date for the match to be
    played. However, in the interest of avoiding as early as possible.

  • All matches in each round must be played and the name of the winner entered for the next
    round on or before the specified date. Failure to decide a match before the specified date
    may result in both players/sides being disqualified.

  • Honour on first tee goes to the player/team in order of the draw - check drawsheet posted
    on the noticeboard - player/team on top of each match has the 'honour' on the first tee
x
    Rule 10-1. Match Play - When starting play of hole, the side that has the honour at the first teeing ground is
    determined by the order of the draw. In the absence of a draw, the honour should be decided by lot. The side
    that wins a hole takes the honour at the next teeing ground. If a hole has been halved, the side that had the
    honour at the previous teeing ground retains it.

  • Handicaps (Singles): playing handicaps on the day, full differential applies (e.g., player A
    is off 8 and player B is off 16; full differential is 8).

  • Handicaps (Straight Foursomes): playing handicaps on the day, half the full difference
    between the aggregate playing handicaps of either side (e.g., side A are off 8 and 14, and
    side B are off 12 and 17; the aggregate handicaps are A – 22 and B – 29; half the full
    difference (7) is 3.5 (rounded up to 4).

  • Handicaps (Fourballs): playing handicap on the day applies, lowest handicapped player
    goes to scratch, and the other three players receive strokes based on three quarters of the
    difference between the full handicaps (e.g., lowest player is off 6 and goes to 0; player B off
    14 goes to 8 and plays off three quarters of that adjusted handicap (6); handicaps of
    players C and D are similarly adjusted.

  • All queries or disputes are to be referred to the Club Matchplay Organiser, Garrett
    Dempsey (tel. no. 086 803 2738) for decision.

Definition:  In Scotch Foursomes, both players on a side tee off. Players A and B each hit a drive,
the better of the two drives is selected, and then A and B play alternate shot until the ball is holed. The
player whose drive was not selected hits the next shot.
x
Handicaps: playing handicap on the day applies - half the difference in the combined handicap (the
same as in straight foursomes)
x
Note: Men tee off from the white markers and ladies tee off from the red (ladies) markers
