Dungarvan Seniors Pairs Classic kindly sponsored by Sherry Fitzgerald Reynolds

This competition which was a huge success last year will again be staged at the 3 local courses Dungarvan, Gold Coast and West Waterford on Tuesday 10^th, Wednesday 11^th and Thursday 12^th April 2007. The competition format is as follows: 2 person rumble, 2 person scramble and four ball butterball. The competition fees are as follows: 2 nights B&B, 3 rounds of golf and entry is €142pps, for visitors not availing of accommodation the fee is €67 pp, while members of any of the three host Clubs may enter for €62pp. Entry forms for this year’s renewal are available at the 3 participating Golf Clubs.

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 in association with Michael Ryan (Saltan Properties) and Bulmers

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.
