WEST WATERFORD GOLF AND COUNTRY CLUB
Gents Notes for week ending 9th October 2005
Club Classic kindly sponsored by ACC Property & Business Banking
The annual fundraising Open Club Classic will take place on Sunday 16th October. This important fundraiser for the Club helps in the running of Club teams and supporting the junior section and all members are urged to bring along two golfers from visiting clubs for this open 3 person event. It is especially salient this year with Seamus Power capturing the Irish Youths title and our Junior Foursomes Team capturing the All Ireland title. ACC Property & Business Banking is kindly sponsoring the Club Classic this year and the Club are very appreciative of their support. Teams of three for the Classic may be gents, ladies or mixed. The format is 1 to count on the first six holes, 2 to count on the next 9 holes and all three to count on 16, 17 and 18. At this stage tee-time availability is limited so a prompt call for the timesheet is advised. Tee times may be reserved by telephoning West Waterford on 058-43216 or 058-41475.

Golf Lessons.
T.W Murphy E.G.T.F is available for golf lessons. Timmy can be contacted by ringing 086-3521070 for an appointment.
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.
Names only on Timesheets and cancelled Tee-times.
With more limited time available for play and increased playing numbers, the practice of putting down a name +1 or +2 is no longer acceptable. Only individual names will satisfy, as this facilitates the smooth running of the timesheet, by identifying who is actually booked in to play with whom. All members are also urged to telephone the office if they wish to cancel a tee-time that they have booked in the interest of fairness to all.
