FIXTURES

Wednesday 26^th January to Sunday 30^th January 18-hole Stableford – 3^rd round of the Winter League, kindly sponsored by Comeragh Oil.

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

NAMES ONLY ON TIMESHEETS

Owing to increased playing numbers, the practice of putting down a name +1 or +2 is no longer acceptable. Only individual names will suffice as this facilitates the smooth running of the timesheet, by identifying who is actually booked in to play with whom.

SUBSCRIPTIONS

Subscriptions for the 2005 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

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 centre. 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.

CARE OF THE COURSE

Repairing of pitch/plug marks on greens, replacing of divots on tees and fairways and raking bunkers are all important aspects of care of the course. It is also essential to use the bins provided for discarded soft drink containers and other waste items. Numerous visitors to our club in recent months have been complimentary on the quality and appearance of our golf course; please do your level best to keep it this way.

Care of the Course (Bunkers)

The following paragraph is an extract from the recently revised Rules of Golf approved by the R & A.

It is from section 1 – Etiquette; Behavior on the course

"Before leaving a bunker, players should carefully fill up and smooth over all holes and footprints made by them and any nearby made by others. If a rake is within reasonable proximity of the bunker, the rake should be used for this purpose."
