intending to take photographs at the Championship will be asked to complete a registration form.

Pace of Play

The Union and its four Provincial Branches will enforce a unified pace of play condition (see No.6 in the

General Rules for Union and Provincial Championships in Section 4 below). It is essential that all familiarise

themselves with the procedures, shot timings and penalties that are applicable under this condition.

Practice – Booking

The Practice Round will take place on Tuesday 27 March up to 4pm for the Qualifier Field and Thursday

afternoon after the Qualifier. Times may be booked by calling the Club on +353 71 9177134.

Practice – Conduct and Behaviour

Practice outside of the official practice round is entirely at the discretion of the host club. During the

official practice round, players must not play more than one ball from tee to green. The

Championship Committee reserve the right to withdraw the entry of any player failing to observe this

directive.

Practice Facilities

Warm-up facilities will be available on the club’s practice area (short irons only). The range shall be used

for all other practice. Tokens for the Range must be purchased at the pro Shop, they are not

available at the Range. Players in breach of this are subject to their removal from the event by the

The Presentation of Prizes will take place approximately 30 minutes after the conclusion of play. In fairness

to all competitors, to the many volunteers, Radisson Blu Hotel, Sligo your Sponsor and to the host club, all

final-day competitors are requested and required to attend the presentation.

Ready Golf

The Championship Committee encourages players to play “Ready Golf” in all Stroke Play rounds. Simply

put, "ready golf" means that each golfer within a group hits when ready.

If you reach your ball and are ready to hit, while other members of your group are not yet prepared, 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 is taking 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 from the 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 but chipping from

the front of the green should play while the other player is having to walk to their ball and assess their

shot.

Marking scores upon immediate arrival at the next tee, except that the first player to tee off marks their card immediately after teeing off.

Registration

Registration is done by checking in with the Tournament Director or his representative on your arrival to

County Sligo, all players must check in prior to going to the Tee. Players who fail to do so may find their

spot reallocated to a Reserve.
