Scramble and Presentation of Prizes:

Seamus Power:

Seamus Power will look to defend his Irish Youths title at Royal Tara Golf Club on 29th & 30th June and if he succeeds he will become the first player to do so since Graeme McDowell successfully defended his title in 2000. Seamus has already tasted victory this season with his win at Thurles Golf Club in the Munster Youths Championship where he had a comfortable six shot win over his nearest rival. However the field of 75 which will contend for the title is one of the strongest ever assembled to contest this prestigious title and includes 31 overseas players with nine countries represented including Qatar, Austria, Wales, Germany, Scotland and France. The Irish Youths Amateur Open Championship was first played for in 1969 at Delgany when Declan Branigan was victorious. Other notable winners include Ronan Rafferty (1979), John McHenry (1980/1981/1985), Paul McGinley (1988) and Rory McIlroy (2004).

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.

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. Tickets are valid up to 31st December 2006.
