Code Of Conduct For Junior Members

Dungarvan Golf Club

This “Code of Conduct” governs the Junior membership of Dungarvan Golf Club. This “Code of Conduct” comprises existing rules which have been in place for many years, and some new rules calculated to provide a safe, friendly environment in which your son / daughter can enjoy their golfing activities. We request that parents go through the “Code” with your son / daughter and if clarification of any point is required it can be dealt with by our Secretary Manager, Ms. Irene Lynch at the club, or can be submitted in writing to the Honorary Secretary.

A breach of the “Code of Conduct” or other misbehaviour will lead to a written warning and a second breach may mean a suspension of membership at the discretion of the Management Committee.

Team Ireland Golf Trust

The Team Ireland Golf Trust was established in 1999 by the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation to assist Irish golfers, both male and female, in the early stages of their professional careers. While Irish golfers have consistently performed with distinction in international tour events, the realisation is that Ireland does not have a sufficient number of young tour cardholders to eventually succeed the established professional players. 

The Team Ireland Golf Trust Committee was established to oversee the operation of the Trust Scheme and to consider applications received under the Scheme. The Trust Committee consists of a representative each from the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism, the Irish Sports Council, Fáilte Ireland, the Irish PGA, the GUI, the ILGU, and the private sector.

Objective of the Scheme

The objective of the Scheme is to support golfers who have the potential and programme to become established players on the main international tours, such as the European Tours and US PGA Tours. The Team Ireland Golf Trust is designed to provide support, both financial and non-financial, to selected young professional golfers to help them realise their potential to perform successfully at international level.

Golfers, who are being supported by the Trust, will be expected to show and maintain a reasonable level of progression in their performances on a yearly basis. This level of progress will determine future funding decisions by the Trust.

Services for golfers

Golfers on the scheme have access to the sports science and medicine network already provided by the Irish Sports Council to high performance athletes on the International Carding scheme. Access to these services is administered by the National Coaching and Training Centre in Limerick.

Link with GUI National Academy

In an initiative which commenced in 2006, golf trust golfers will be able to access the Golfing Union of Ireland’s National Academy facilities at Carton House Estate in Maynooth, Co. Kildare.

The following facilities will be available as follows,

• Unlimited use of golf balls on the Driving Range

• Use of short game area and reserved grass tee

• Use of the indoor/outdoor training rooms which are equipped with the most modern swing analysis video equipment (subject to availability)

• Access to putting green

• Use of the Synthetic putting green (built by TourGreens)
