Deise Golf Pass News

As previously mentioned in dispatches, it was agreed between the Golf Clubs of the Deise Golf Pass initiative, to proceed with a series of Open Winter Competitions. There will be 5 qualifiers each week in each Golf Club (3 members and 2 non-members), which will mean that there will be 90 golfers for the Grand Final which will take place on 24th April in Waterford Castle Golf Club (timesheet available from 10th April). The remaining week is Williamstown – 24th March to 30th March 2008.

Subscriptions

Subscriptions for the 2008 season are now overdue, and we request that all members who haven’t paid to please submit the appropriate amount to the office, by post or in person as soon as possible.

 

Fixtures Booklet

Our fixture booklet for the 2008 is now freely available in the office. All members are urged to pick up a copy, as soon as possible, and make themselves familiar with the up and coming events as we look forward to another busy year at West Waterford Golf and Country Club. The fixtures have also been updated for 2008 on our website www.westwaterfordgolf.com

 

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. With immediate effect +1 or +2 on singles timesheets will be removed. Only individual names will suffice as this identifies who is actually booked in to play. This facilitates the smooth running of the timesheet. 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, in the interest of fairness to all. Please remember: Players with their names on the timesheet have priority on the 1st tee.

 

Dungarvan Seniors Pairs Classic

This competition which was a huge success last year will again be staged at the 3 local courses Dungarvan, Gold Coast and West Waterford on Tuesday 8th, Wednesday 9th and Thursday 10th April 2008. It is a team event for golfers aged 55 years and above, open to ladies, gents and mixed pairs. The competition fees are as follows: 2 nights B&B, 3 rounds of golf and entry is €149pps, for players not availing of accommodation the competition fee is €75 pp. Last years event was fully subscribed and hopefully the same will apply for this year’s event. Entry forms for this year’s renewal are available at the 3 participating Golf Clubs.

 

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.
