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, (players with a single figure Handicap index will be cut 1 shot per 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.
