There have been new guidelines and restrictions put in place this week by the government, which will affect some of the facilities we can provide at the club. Some emails were sent out via BRS during the week reflecting decisions taken by the executive.
Competitions will be limited to members and members guests from within the county. All open competitions have been cancelled for the duration of this phase. A review will be made on the 26th October.
The Bar and Restaurant have been closed for the duration also. Locker rooms and toilets will remain open and we ask that you all show personal responsibility in adhering to the guidelines.
The World Handicapping System is being brought in on the 2nd of November. All players should familiarise themselves with the new rules. Included in this newsletter is a copy of the frequently asked questions, but you can also go to https://www.golfnet.ie/whs for a more in depth explanation of how it will work.
