Weekly Club Competition's

Competition Course Conditions 

When inputting a card at an away course it will go onto your record automatically (if it's an official competition, the away clubs software will look after this). If it's just a casual round with another Golfireland member ( & you choose to submit a round) You will need to sign-in on the Golfireland app pre round, then input that card asap after game.

Don't sign in to a competition and the golfireland app on the same day, as it messes up the processs.

     Note: You must still be on-site at that club in order for it to work

• All society cards should be returned on the app too, in the same manner as above, if you are having problems with the app send on a photo of your card, but only when you've exhausted the above advice. 

Step 1: Install the howdidido app, When you submit 3 cards (on a qualifying course) a Handicap index will be allocated and you can access the members designated booking area within HDID . Qualifying conditions normally run from April to late October at BMGC.

The 3 cards for initial handicap can be submitted from any course in Ireland operating with Golf Ireland Qualifying conditions, Note: some links courses have qualifying conditions all year round.

: In addition please send a photo of card via email or WhatsApp to speed up the process.

Please put the 3 scorecards in an envelope marked "For Handicap" and leave at the course reception.

• Cards submitted in the non Qualifying Winter season: a temporary domestic Handicap will be allocated.
• Cards submitted in the Qualifying period April to end of October: an initial Golfireland handicap will be allocated, you will need 20 qualifying cards thru the season to have a fully developed Handicap (this will allow entry to interclub competitions in 2026).

After Handicap index allocation you will then have access to the HDID tee time booking system for Competitions.

Step 2: Install the Golf Ireland app, use this to track your Handicap index.

The pin number for registering is on the back of your Golf Ireland member card.

Step 3: install the BRS booking app for Tee time bookings outside of competition times

For issues relating to BRS contact Annette at reception.

Step 4: Download the R&A Rules of golf app

Rules of Golf App (randa.org) 

            GOLF IS OPEN TO ALL

                                         

Step 5: (optional)  You may want to download a GPS Golf app.

To comply with the rules of Competition golf the GPS app can only give advice on Distance, not measure wind speed or direction etc. Try not to let such devices interfere with pace of play.

Spring Domestic Cuts

   If your ball lands on the Fairway, Players have the option to move and place in the nearest side of rough, no nearer the hole. Placing everywhere within 6 inches. (except Penalty areas)

• Domestic cuts are in play from January 1st, 2 shots for a win & 1 for each subsequent win. 
• Handicaps are reset at season start (when Qualifying conditions return in April).

When playing in Competition, use your full Playing Handicap on the card as the minus shots are calculated at competitions end.

Handicaps will be reset when we return to full Qualifying conditions, usually in April.

Dec News

 

BUTTER MOUNTAIN GOLF CLUB Dec 2024 News

Following December’s committee meeting I wish to send the members an update from the committee in relation to end of year activity. Firstly may we take this opportunity to wish all our members and everyone associated with the club a very happy and peaceful Christmas. We would also like to remember absent friends and indeed members with health issues who are no longer able to compete on the golf course. Our job is to work on behalf of the members and to make our Butter Mountain Golf Club experience a very positive one. Some Notices for upcoming events include. 3 Man end of year scramble on Dec 28th 3 man beginning of year scramble on January 4th Please note golfers may avail of placing everywhere and indeed the save the fairway option Some reflections on last year include There was a great spread of prizes amongst many members Very Successful days on both Captains & Presidents day Internal Club match play competitions ran very smoothly BMGC entered our largest volume of teams ever in inter club competition. Some fine scalps were had including the K club and congratulations to everybody who represented the club Undoubtedly the most successful team were our Super Seniors who were pipped at the post and were tremendous representatives of the club. Inter Club competitions 2025 The club are already committed to entering 4 teams this year including The Barton Cup Pierce Purcell Shield The Leinster Fourball The Super Seniors Facility Improvements We have all witnessed the various course improvements over the last two years and there are more plans for 2025 You can see the improvements to the new dining room in the club house which is nearing completion. Works have included, new flooring, dining room and reception all fully painted, new windows and doors installed, new lighting & new radiators. Golfers are asked Kindly not to wear their golf shoes in the new dining room. We are excited to have the room completed soon for everyone to enjoy in 2025. The Driving net is going to be replaced and relocated to a new location in 2025 There are plans for a putting Green in 2025 behind the car park wall The Gazebo currently situated on the 13th will be moved as requested up to the bench on the 16th tee box when weather permits Membership 2025 The rates have been set this year with a flexible payment plan if required @ €700 for full Membership €575 for 5 Day Membership €460 for Under25 The course have requested that Membership Fees for 2025 are to be paid within the agreed timeframe please. Failure to pay the fees as agreed, can have a knock on effect and can disrupt players on accessing our Booking Platforms & selecting tee times. The committee believe the above package represents great value and I have often considered what if every member knew 1 potential golfer who you could encourage to join? It would make a huge difference to our membership. Why not give it a go. I hope we have whetted the appetite for next year and am hoping that all members will return in 2025. In the meantime, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from all the committee and we look forward to competing in 2025 Keeping you informed David O’ Driscoll Committee Member.

New Course Rating 2025

 We have received notification of an updated course rating.

New from Jan 1st 2025 and specifically when we return to Full qualifying conditions (usually mid April) there will be a Black set of tees on the 4th hole, the only difference between Black & Blue is that extra 38yards blind shot off the new 4th tee, and this is reflected  slightly in the course rating.

Below is the new table of tees which means cards for handicap and in competition can be played off Black/Blue/Yellow or red tees for Men.

Competition play will for the most part be played off Blue Tees, play off a different tee colour will be notified in advance of the Competition days play via WhatsApp & on the Howdidido App.
