Winter League 2006 kindly sponsored by Comeragh Oil

Members are requested to avoid playing in Fourballs at weekends for the duration of the Winter League.

As a means to heighten awareness of the problem of pitch / plug marks and in order to attempt to alleviate this scourge on greens, it has been decided to allocate responsibility for each of the 18 greens for the year 2007 to a Winter League Team’s members. Un-raked bunkers are also an ever present problem and each and every member of each and every team is urged to co-operate with this request, regarding pitch / plug marks and bunkers, the list is as follows:

1^st green – Dungarvan & Geraldines: 2^nd green – Brickey's: 3^rd green – Carriglea:

4^th green – Killeagh & Ring: 5^th green – Cappagh: 6^th green – Abbeyside:

7^th green – Carrightwohill: 8^th green – Kilrossanty: 9^th green – Old Boro & Kilossera

10^th green – Sliabh gCua: 11^th green – Affane & Spring: 12^th green – Ardmore

13^th green – Glenbeg & Glenmore: 14^th green – Grange: 15^th green – Youghal

16^th green – Clashmore: 17^th green – Old Parish: 18^th green – Cappoquin

It has to be stressed that responsibility for repairing the pitch/plug marks and raking bunkers is not only for the duration of the Winter League but also for the 2007 golfing year.

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 €80, 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 31^st December 2007.

Dungarvan Golf International:

Following feedback from previous competitors and extensive discussions between the 3 local golf clubs, the Classic will undergo some changes in date and formats to provide fresh impetus to the event. The 2007 Classic is taking place on the 12^th, 13^th and 14^th June 2007, for information on the event please contact the Tournament Co-coordinator Marie Curran on 058-42870 or 087- 2347918.
