AL Eile Stud Open Qualifier Series

The first Al Eile Stud Wednesday Open for 2008 took place on Wednesday 16^th April.

This Open Qualifier is a keystone of the golfing calendar at West Waterford Golf and Country Club and Al Eile Stud is delighted to be associated with the event.

The competition takes place every Wednesday throughout the summer and this year to give the event added impetus there are 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd prizes on offer each week (dependent on entries). There will be a timesheet in operation for the Open Singles and to reserve your tee-time, simply telephone the Clubhouse on 058-43216 or 058-41475. For those lucky enough to qualify the Grand Final will take place this year on Sunday 19^th October, a week in advance of the Bank Holiday weekend. Many thanks to the sponsors Al Eile Stud.
