In light of the period of restriction announced by Taoiseach Leo Varadkar in relation to the outbreak of COVID-19, the GUI and ILGU have issued the following guidance for clubs: The Unions recognise the need for adherence to the revised guidelines as issued by the HSE today (12th March 2020) and encourage golf clubs to observe them fully. The restrictions (from 6pm today until Sunday 29th March) do not prevent club competitions or casual rounds of golf taking place, however we need to be cogniscant of the social nature of our game and how this element of it is impacted. Golf is a great sport for people generally to get out and about, exercise and enjoy fresh air. It is played in an outdoor setting where the risk of contracting COVID-19 is low. All golf clubs should, at this time, aim to keep their members and staff safe and well. As such, everyone should be keenly aware of the vulnerabilities golf clubs will face: -The older age profile of golf club memberships than of the general population must be borne in mind -Groups having close and prolonged contact should be avoided. -The social aspect of golf clubs should be curtailed, including limiting the potential for the following types of social interaction in accordance with the guidelines as issued today. -Siren starts with people congregating before and after are discouraged for the time being. -Prolonged near contact as may happen during Bridge nights, Choir practices and other clubhouse-based activities is to be avoided. -Visitors either require some form of screening or should be discouraged for the time being. -Society bookings...

‘100 Hole Hike’ – Two Newcastle West Golfers each play 100 HOLES of golf in ONE DAY for ‘Youth On Course’ The challenge was taken up by two Newcastle West golfers Gearóid Whelan and Barry O’Leary. To play 100 holes of non-stop golf in one day is a mega-marathon of golf and required a huge commitment and extreme levels of fitness. An intensive strength and conditioning programme was undertaken by Gearoid and Barry for several weeks in preparation for the challenging event. Monagea man Cathal O’Sullivan and his US based business partner David Graham raised funds for ‘Youth on Course’ in the USA while Gearóid and Barry raised funds to help the development of ‘Youth Golf’ in West Limerick through Newcastle West Golf Club. . The four golfers started at first light on Wednesday 2nd October and finished at dusk, each having played 100 holes of golf. Huge thanks goes to the many Junior and Senior caddies who helped on the day, to the supporters who encouraged the golfers throughout the day, the water carriers, soup & coffee makers, sandwich makers, chocolatiers, masseurs etc – míle buíochas. The Newcastle West event was the only one run in Ireland and occurred at the same time at golf courses throughout the USA. Gearoid and Barry presented a cheque for €2,800 to John Devine General Manager Newcastle West Golf...
