           Players must play in order of current playing handicap. In Junior Cup and Senior Foursomes shots are not
            conceded. In Intermediate, Minor, Challenge Cup and Junior Foursomes, shots are conceded. A player’s
           current handicap will determine which team she is eligible to compete in. A Player may compete in a team
           even if her handicap exceeds the higher limit for that team but her handicap is reduced to the higher limit.
1. Team sheet to be exchanged with opposing Team Manager prior to start of match.
               2. Information on Advice in team competitions page 38 of 2018 Handbook.
If an Executive member is not present, please wear a badge indicating that you are the Manager/Captain
                            who may give advice. Any type of badge will suffice.
                   If an Executive member is present you will be supplied with a badge.
3. Please note the time of starting for the first match and the finish time for the last match. This is to be
                                      reported along with the result.

        Important Information for Team Captains / Team
                        Managers, 2018
 District, National and Generic Tournament Regulations and Conditions must be
 adhered to by all teams participating in the ILGU Inter Club Matches.
 NB: The first round matches are on a Home & Away basis, the Team Managers
 must contact each other to arrange a mutually convenient date

 Team Captains should:
     • Contact Liaison Officers at the host club in advance of the matches to discuss menus
          and cost of meals for their teams.
     • Contact the Pro Shop to make arrangements for practice rounds at a time
          convenient to the hosting club. These practice rounds are at the discretion of the
          club.
 Team Exchange Sheet – to be completed with current handicaps and confirmation that
 players have played three qualifying competitions in the previous 12 months. List names in
 order of play which must be in handicap order. In singles the lowest handicap player must
 be first on the list and in foursomes the lowest combined handicap pair must be first.
 Exchange with opposing Team Manager on the day of the match. Please wear your Badge so
 everyone will be clear as to who may give advice.

 ILGU Transportation Policy - Team Captains must make sure they are fully conversant
 with the ILGU transportation policy regarding the use of buggies by players and caddies.
 (Page 39-41, 2018 ILGU Handbook)

 Obtain score cards which include local rules from the liaison officer at the hosting club.
 Check with the liaison officer for any addition local rules applicable on the day.

 Advise your players to carry a copy of the Rules of Golf.
 Ensure your players and caddies are at the first tee at least 10 mins before their starting
 time.

 Pace of Play is very important. Slow play should be monitored by the team captains
 and agreement made with the opposing Team Captain that you will both move your players
 on if play is slow. Each group is responsible for keeping up with the group in front. If delays
 occur because of searching for a lost ball the time must be made up by the group. Each
 player is responsible for playing without delay.

 Remind your players and caddies that mobile phones MUST be switched OFF while
 matches are in progress. (Team Captains may carry a phone on silent)
The use of DMD’S is permitted in all ILGU events, provided that they conform to the
regulations as set down by the R & A.

In the event of a walkover being given it is imperative that the Host club and the East
Leinster Tournament Sec. (086 2515182) are notified immediately. Please be considerate of
the expense that clubs go to for catering and practice rounds.

Please advise the players not to interact with the spectators in order to avoid any
misunderstanding re advice.
Spectator Guidelines are on page 35 of the ILGU Handbook.

Advice for team Managers in Extreme Weather Conditions.
Where the extreme weather creates a safety issue, the two Team Captains 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 at all possible.

When play is suspended, a team/player(s) that has already started play must continue play in
the rescheduled match. Any player(s)who is unable to play in the rescheduled match must
concede their match. A team/player(s)which has not started play may change the
team/players even if the team sheets have already been exchanged prior to the rescheduling
of the match. Whenever a team has started play and the match has to be rescheduled,
Condition 7.3.11.1 (see Regulations and Conditions attached) is applicable to those players
who had not started their match.
Example:
Minor Cup team. Pairings 1, 2, and 3 have teed off. The course is then closed due to
unplayable conditions. The match is rescheduled for the following Friday. Pairings 1, 2 and 3
must resume play from where they stopped. If any of these players are not available to
resume play, they must concede their match to their opponent.
Pairings 3 and 4 may change for the rescheduled round as they had not started their
matches.

When a decision is taken to discontinue a match, the two Team Captains 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 East Leinster ILGU.
Reporting Match Results.
The Manager of the winning team should forward both the match result and the start and
finish times, to the Results Contact Person, listed on the draw sheet, as soon as possible.
The Tournament Committee has the right to reschedule the starting time of any match.

Please check the draw sheets on the website for up to date information
Guidelines for Liaison Officers
                     2018 AIG Ladies Cups & Shields
A Liaison Officer is a vital part in the successful running of the AIG Ladies Cups & Shields -
Inter Club Matches. She must be fully conversant with the internal structure within her
own club. This enables her to direct enquiries to the relevant personnel.

The Office, Caterer and Pro Shop should be informed of the names of the Clubs playing on
the day.

Suggest a book is kept in the Pro Shop for players to sign in, emphasise one free practice
round.

A week or two before the Matches contact the visiting Team Managers with menu choices
and prices. Get an approximate number of players and caddies who will be eating on the day
so you can inform the caterer.
Organise at least three other club members to assist you on the day.

                              ON THE DAY OF THE MATCH
•   Have your organised club members on hand to welcome the visiting teams.
•   Have Tea/Coffee available for teams prior to play. (Clubs to pay for their own)
•   Before the start of play get the menu choices and numbers for the kitchen
•   Make the bar aware that Clubs may be running an account for Drinks/Wine.
•   Arrange to have club members as starters, who will ensure all Teams are at the 1st Tee
    10 minutes before their tee time. Getting Teams off promptly avoids delays for later
    Teams.
•   Supply Score Cards and copies of any additional local rules that are not on the card.
•   In the event of a match going down the 19th ensure that this is facilitated.
•   Following the recent survey where Clubs displayed a definite preference to be seated
    with the opposing Team following the Match, we would ask Liaison Officers to arrange
    this whenever possible.
•   Ensure Bar and Catering staff prepare accounts for Team Captains who must discharge
    Team Expenses before leaving the Club.

Liaison Officers should not involve themselves with any disputes that may occur
              on the course. This is the Team’s Captain’s Domain
