DUNGARVAN GOLF INTERNATIONAL

This prestigious event now in its seventh year takes place from 24^th to the 26^th May at our three local courses. Initial meetings of the International Committee for the 2005 event have been taking place and the West Waterford Captain for 2005 John Flynn has been installed as Chairman of the International Committee for the coming year. The International is a showcase event for golf in the area and brings an influx of visitors to the town and surrounding areas, which is of benefit to all. We would like to extend our best wishes to John in his Chairmanship and to thank outgoing Chairman Tom Considine for his Trojan work since the events inception. Tom has been heavily involved since the start and is taking a well-earned rest from the chair.

DUNGARVAN GOLF TRIANGLE

Golf tourism as we all know is now a big business in Ireland and the Dungarvan area is ideally placed to garner its share of this ever expanding market. 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 €75, 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.
