This prestigious and unique event kindly sponsored by Guinness Group Sales is now in its ninth year. The competition generates huge interest and is testament to the hard work that has been put into it down through the years by well known Youghal golfer Jim Furey and the Murphy family from The Walter Raleigh Hotel in Youghal. The groups of 3 brothers play 18 holes in West Waterford on Friday and 18 holes in Youghal G.C. on Saturday with all participants getting together in the Walter Raleigh on Saturday Night for the Presentation Banquet. Entries at time of going to press stand at 49 teams. For any information on the event please contact the Tournament Director, Mr. Jim Furey on 086-8355086.

DUNGARVAN GOLF INTERNATIONAL

This prestigious event now in its seventh year takes place from 24th to the 26th May at or three local courses. 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. For any further information please contact the Tournament Director on 058-42416,058-42249 or 058-44055.

 

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.
