Information for Team Captains/ Managers 2017
District, National and Generic Tournament Regulations and Conditions must be
adhered to by all teams participating in the ILGU championships. Reference ILGU
Handbook 2017.
Tournaments Committee has the right to re-schedule the starting time of any
match which will be notified to team managers in advance.
Practice Rounds for Inter-Club - Complimentary practice rounds may be available
for team members (max 2 four balls per team) at times suitable to the hosting golf
clubs. These are to be arranged between the team managers and the clubs in
question. Practice rounds are at the discretion of the host club.
Giving a Walkover - A team manager who is giving a walkover must immediately
inform the Munster District Tournament Chair (087 263 3103) and the opposing
team’s manager, by text and a phone call. This text will be acknowledged as
confirmation of walkover. Please contact the host club to inform them of the
walkover so that they may amend their timesheet and catering. Please be mindful of
the expense that clubs go to for practice rounds and give your walkovers at least 10
days in advance unless there are exceptional circumstances.
Team catering at host club - Team managers should contact the host club to
arrange catering requirements for their team.
Team Exchange Sheets - Each Team Manager should download the team exchange
sheet from www.ilgu.ie/tournaments under ‘View Player Information Pack’ and
exchange simultaneously with the opposing team at least 30 minutes before the start
of the first match. Any buggy certificates must be produced at this time. For quarter,
semi and final rounds of singles matches and all foursomes matches, this exchange will
take place in the presence of the ILGU Official on duty, who will prepare the scorecards.
For National and District finals, this exchange will be done 45 minutes before the start
of the 1st match.
Team Managers - The person who is permitted to give advice to the team must be easily
identifiable. When ILGU Officials are on duty, an identity label will be provided. Team
Managers must NOT walk on the green.
Transportation Policy - Please refer to the regulations on the Transportation Policy
(ILGU Handbook 2017, Policy Documents pages 35-37). Golf Buggies will be used by ILGU
Officials. A pre-approved player or caddy who produces a current certificate issued by
ILGU Head office may use a buggy, subject to Committee Discretion on the use of a Golf
Buggy as per ILGU Handbook section 1.5 page 37 . A team manager who produces a
current ILGU certificate may use a buggy for the duration of her team’s match only.
Spectators who need a buggy during the Munster District Inter-Club Match Play should
contact the tournament committee to discuss their options.
Rule Book - Advise your players to carry a Rule Book at all times on the course.
Local Rules - Supply copies of any Local Rules which are not on the card to all your
players.
Pace of Play is very important. Agree with the opposing Team Manager that if play is
slow, you will both move your players on. Each Player is responsible for playing without
undue delay (R&A Rule 6-7). See Pace of Play Policy ILGU Handbook 2017 page 37 - 38.
Dress Code - Ensure that your team members and caddies adhere to the dress code in
place at the host club for all your matches.
Mobile phones - Remind players that phones must be switched off whilst matches are in
progress (Team captains may carry phones but they must be on silent).
DMDS - The use of DMDS is permitted at all ILGU events provided they conform to the
regulations as set down by the R and A.
Caddies - When permitted by the regulations, a player may be assisted by a caddy.
Note: Caddies are not permitted in girls’ competitions.
Tee Times - Ensure that teams tee off promptly by asking them to be at the 1st tee box
10 minutes prior to their match time. The Team Manager should agree to start off their
matches in line with the scheduled time if there is no Official on duty.
Advice for Team Managers in extreme Weather Conditions
Where extreme weather creates a safety issue, and there is no ILGU Official on duty, the
two Team Managers may at any time agree to discontinue a match. This course of action
should only be taken as a last resort and in general a match should be finished, if
possible.
Team Managers must be aware that the SAME TEAM MUST be fielded on the
resumption of the match. The only exception - any player who has not teed off on the
1st hole, can be replaced on resumption of play.
When a decision is taken to discontinue a match, the two Team Managers must –
 Ensure that the position of the balls and state of the match is clearly
agreed.
 Arrange with the host club for course time to complete the match.
 Immediately inform Chair of Tournaments Munster- Mary Bergin 087
263 3103
Please advise team members not to interact with spectators as this may be construed as
seeking advice.
Spectators Guidelines: The ILGU welcomes spectators to all its events. To ensure that
all players feel comfortable on the course and enjoy their game, the following guidelines
should be observed:
 Walk in rough and maintain a distance of least 25 yards from players
 Acknowledge good shots by all players equally
 Do not give advice or interact with players or caddies
 Do not give Rulings or call Penalties on players.
 Do not disturb the play of others by moving or making noise.
 Do not move a players’ bag as this may be construed as caddying.
Reporting Match Results - The manager of the winning team must inform the Results
Contact Person as stated on the top right of the draw sheet with the result as soon as
the match is ended. Please remember to include your club and team category when
sending text. A confirmation of receipt will be sent.
Finally, Good Luck to all participating clubs.
