August bank-holiday Open Singles competition kindly sponsored by Ulster Bank

The 3-day competition on what promises to be a very busy weekend at the club is being kindly sponsored by Ulster Bank and we are most grateful for their support. To book a tee-time simply telephone West Waterford on 058-43216 or 058-41475.

2006 Junior Open kindly sponsored by Devereux Manshop Dungarvan

The timesheet is now posted for our Junior Open which takes place on Tuesday 2^nd August and which is kindly sponsored by Devereux Manshop Dungarvan. It is an 18-hole Stableford competition and there is a handicap limit of 28. Please telephone 058-43216 or 058-41475 to reserve a tee off time, timesheet in operation from 10am to 1pm.

Brickey GAA Golf Classic

Bookings are now being taken and timesheets posted for the Brickey GAA Golf Classic which takes place on Thursday 10^th and Friday 11^th August. This event promises to be one of the success stories of the 2006 golfing calendar as the main driving force behind the scenes is loyal club member Brian Hilliard who will leave no stone unturned to ensure its success. It is a team of four Stableford and teams may be gents, ladies or mixed and the entry fee is €140.00 per team of 4 players. The format is a champagne scramble (no drink involved!) which has proved extremely popular in the past. The format requires each player to tee off, the best drive is then selected and each of the 4 players finishes out the hole from thereon, with the team’s best 2 scores to count on each hole.

Presidents Prize 2006 Presented by Brendan Cullinan

The timesheet is now posted for the President’s Prize 2006 kindly presented by Brendan Cullinan. The competition takes place on Friday 18^th, Saturday 19^th & Sunday 20^th August and will be a 36-hole Stableford event off the white markers. The draw for playing partners and precise playing time takes place in the Clubhouse on Wednesday evening 16^th August at 9pm. Brendan is a staunch and hard-working Club member, and has done Trojan work in attempting to carry out numerous Club duties, and I am sure all the members will be out in force to support him. We wish Brendan, his family and friends all the very best for this prestigious weekend at West Waterford.
