Captains Prize 2007 kindly presented by Michael O’Dwyer

Following hard on the heels of the ninth year of the Dungarvan Golf International which showcases golf in the area and our landmark staging of the Irish Youths Championship of 2007 on the 28^th and 29^th June. Preparations are well under way and there is an air of anticipation at West Waterford Golf and Country Club as we look forward to the first and premier ‘major’ of 2007. The timesheets will be posted shortly posted for the Captain’s Prize kindly presented by Michael O’Dwyer. The qualifying round of 18 hole stroke takes place on Friday and Saturday 29^th and 30^th June, with the leading 100 qualifiers completing again on Sunday 1^st July over another 18 holes, with the aggregate score over the qualifying round and the final round determining the winner. The draw for playing partners and precise playing time takes place in the Clubhouse on Wednesday evening 27^th June at 8pm. Michael is a staunch and hard-working Club member, and has done Trojan work in attempting to carry out numerous Club duties in his own inimitable way, and I am sure all the members will be out in force to support him. We wish Michael and Lyla all the very best for this prestigious weekend at West Waterford Golf and Country Club. The presentation of prizes will take place in the Clubhouse on Sunday night 1^st July and all members and friends are welcome for what promises to be a memorable night to round off the Captain’s weekend.

Dungarvan Golf Triangle

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.
