Open Wednesday Competitions:

Following the very successful Al Eile Stud Open Wednesday qualifiers, we are going to continue with an Open Wednesday competition until further notice. These competitions will be known as Autumn/Winter Open Wednesday competitions. The entry fee for visitors will be €25.00, and for members the entry will be €10.00. Both entry fees include a golfer’s tea. Depending on the number of entries, prizes will be awarded each and every Wednesday. This is hoped to continue these Open Wednesday competitions up to the Christmas period.

Important Rule Change (Brickey River):

Please note that when playing the 2^nd, 12^th, 14^th and 15^th holes, the Brickey River and area to the left of, is declared a lateral water hazard and extends to infinity, (Rule 33-2a/11. Stroke indices on holes 1 and 13 on the gent's scorecard have been changed to stroke index 18 and stroke index 17 respectively. All these changes along with other rules are outlined on the newly printed scorecards.

Care of the Course:

Recently, the bane of any green-keeper's life, pitch and plug marks on greens, are becoming more noticeable on the playing surfaces at West Waterford. This problem never goes away permanently, but becomes more noticeable during inclement weather conditions. The course staff work very hard to ensure that the quality of the greens are to the highest standard, testament to this are compliments from numerous visitors to our club on the quality and appearance of our golf course; we urge everyone to contribute to keeping it this way.

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.
