Open Wednesday Competitions

As envisaged we will resume the Open Wednesday competitions now that the Comeragh Oil sponsored Winter League is at the matchplay stages. This is hoped to maintain interest and impetus prior to the onset of the spring/summer period when the main body of the golfing calendar for 2006 will commence. The Wednesday competitions will continue up to the re-commencement of the Al Eile Stud Open Qualifiers on Wednesday 19th April. The first Open Wednesday competition of the series will take place on Wednesday 15th February.

South East League

The South East League is a very important stepping stone in the preparation for both the Pierce Purcell and Jimmy Bruen GUI events. Our Pierce Purcell and Jimmy Bruen Managers will be keeping a close eye on proceedings and will be trying to select as varied group of players as possible during the South East League so as to ensure the strongest possible teams represent West Waterford later on in the season. We line out against Cork Golf Club in the first round at Youghal Golf Club on Sunday 19th February. All panelists are requested to be at Youghal Golf Club no later than 9:30am on the day wearing the Club colours.
