Baltinglass GC looks forward to welcoming you back over the next few days/weeks to a beautifully pristine course.
There are a couple of changes on the course to bring to your attention
• Red stakes have been introduced on a trial basis on a few holes. Left of the 6th from top of shoulder to back of green. Right of the 8th from tee to green. Left of 9th from tee to start of fairway bunker. Left of 10th from bottom of hill to furze bush approx 100m from green. The committee would appreciate your feedback on these environmental protected zones whether we should proceed or not with these changes.
• 3 bunkers have been filled in-on the 6th, 11th & 13th. Treat as GUR.

The times on BRS have been adjusted from every 10 minutes to every 15 minutes in 2 or 3 balls only. All members are requested to arrive 10 minutes before play.
• Please keep the flag in when putting to avoid a contamination point on the golf course. There’s a new invention on the flag for taking the ball out of the hole please use your putter to lift the contraption to get your ball out of the hole. Our thanks to John Kelly for his latest invention.
