TIMESHEETS

Time sheets apply for all club competitions. Please put up you’re name and those playing with you for your place on the Tee. The practice of putting down a name +1 or +2 is no longer acceptable. Please remember: Players with their names on the timesheet have priority on the 1^st Tee

SOUTH EAST LEAGUE PANEL

Any member who is interested in being considered for selection for the Southeast League is requested to place their name on the list, which is posted on the main notice board in the entrance hallway. Prospective players are asked to note that it is their lowest handicap in the previous 2004 season, which is applicable.

The Southeast League is a very important stepping stone in the preparation for both the Pierce Purcell and Jimmy Bruen GUI events. Team Managers will be keeping a close eye on proceedings and will be trying to select as varied group of players as possible during the League so as to ensure the strongest possible teams represent West Waterford later on in the season.

All matches are foursomes Matchplay format. Teams will consist of 3-Jimmy Bruen pairs and 3-Pierce Purcell pairs. The fee is Euro35 per team to cover costs, which may be paid at the first venue.

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.
