BUGGIES Motorised transportation is not permitted in any GUI Championships, except in the case of a genuine disability as defined under the statutes applicable in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Where permission to use a buggy is granted to a competitor, it is the competitor’s responsibility to procure the use of the buggy. The Union’s full Transportation Policy can be viewed in appendix 2 of the Tournament Conditions Book CLUBHOUSE OPENING The Clubhouse will open at 7am each day during the Championship. Changing room facilities will be available before play. CONDITIONS OF CHAMPIONSHIP The Conditions of this Championship are accessible in the Union’s online Tournament Conditions Book Please refer to both the General Rules for National and Provincial Championships and the specific rules of this Championship as both should be read in conjunction with each other. Any pre-Championship queries on the conditions may be addressed to the key personnel listed below. DRAW The Draw for the Championship will be published seven days before it is due to commence. Anyone who is included in the Starting List will be included in the Championship Draw accordingly. KEY PERSONNELL Championship Convenor John Cullen Competitions Manager Anita Gordon Entries & withdrawals Anita Gordon (anita@leinster.gui.ie or 01-6016842) LOCAL RULES The Union’s Standardised Tournament Local Rules are contained in Appendix 4 of the Union’s online Tournament Conditions Book. Additional local rules will be published on site. PHOTOGRAPHY AND VIDEOGRAPHY It is usual for photographs and video footage to be taken during Championships and these may be used in the promotion of the game. However, we would ask you to bear in mind that you have the right to refuse the use of your image and that you can report any concerns you have to the Competitions Manager. Those intending to take photographs at the Championship will be asked to complete a registration form. PACE OF PLAY & ‘READY GOLF’ 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 the Tournament Conditions Book). It is essential that all familiarise themselves with the procedures, shot timings and penalties that are applicable under this condition. 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 – 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 difficult shot and takes time to
assess 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.
PRACTICE
All tee reservations must be made by contacting the Pro Shop directly on 01 6408736
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.

The Presentation of Prizes will take place approximately 15 minutes after the conclusion of play. In
fairness to all competitors, to the many volunteers and to the host club, all final-day competitors are
