Fixtures

Wednesday 16th January to Sunday 20th January 16 Hole Stableford – Continuation of Round 1 of the Winter League kindly sponsored by Comeragh Oil

Wednesday 23rd January to Sunday 27th January 16 Hole Stableford – Round 2 of the Winter League kindly sponsored by Comeragh Oil

Timesheets in operation each day

A full list of our fixtures and other information is available on our website:

 

Names Only on Timesheets and Cancelled Tee times

With more limited time available for play and increased playing numbers, the practice of putting down a name +1 or +2 is no longer acceptable and as such will be removed from the timesheet. Only individual names will suffice as this facilitates the smooth running of the timesheet, by identifying who is actually booked in to play and with whom. All members are also urged to telephone the office, at the earliest opportunity, if they wish to cancel a tee time that they have previously booked. Players with their names on the timesheet have priority on the 1st tee.

 

New Rules of Golf Booklet

There have been a number of revisions made to the Rules of Golf and consequently new booklets have been produced by the R&A. There is a limited supply of these new booklets available in the office and they will be distributed on a strictly first come first served basis.

Subscriptions

Subscriptions for the 2008 season are now due, we would like to thank those who have already paid for their prompt response, and request all members who haven’t paid to please submit the appropriate amount to the office, by post or in person at their earliest convenience.

 

Dungarvan Golf Triangle

A major selling point of our three courses, Dungarvan Golf Club, Gold Coast Golf Club and ourselves West Waterford Golf Club is that we are all within 5 minutes drive of Dungarvan town center. The “Dungarvan Golf Triangle” effectively, allows you to purchase a ticket that enables you to play each of the three courses, Monday to Friday for the combined price of €80, and in this era of high green fee rates, this represents good value. ‘The Dungarvan Golf Triangle’ is being advertised through all the usual mediums and is on sale in each of the three golf clubs. Tickets are valid up to 31st December 2008.

 

Non-conforming Drivers

From 1 January 2008, a Rule of Golf will be introduced limiting the 'spring-like' effect of driving clubs for all golfers of all ability. The introduction of this Rule was announced in August 2002 and it has been applied at the elite level, via a Condition of Competition, since 1 January 2003.

 

This 'new' Rule will affect the conformance status of some drivers currently in the marketplace and in players' bags. Golfers are, therefore, encouraged to check their own driver, and any driver they may buy in the future, in preparation for 2008.
To help provide correct information on driver head conformance, two Lists have been compiled and published.

 

To view or search the List of Conforming Driver Heads, please click on the link below. www.randa.org/index.cfm?action=rules.equipment.confdrivers All of the clubs on this List have been ruled to conform to the Rules of Golf and they will continue to conform after 1 January 2008.

 

To view a list of drivers which will become non-conforming on 1 January 2008 and which are contrary to the Driving Club Condition of Competition, please click on the link below: www.randa.org/index.cfm?action=rules.equipment.nonConfDriversMain

A full list of non-conforming drivers is available in the office.
