Carlsberg Tramore Golf Classic

West Waterford was one of four superb courses along with Mount Juliet, Tramore and Waterford Castle who played host to the Carlsberg Tramore Golf Classic from Monday 10^th to Thursday 13^th September 2007. The event was a 4 person event open to members of Golf Clubs affiliated to their home Golfing Union who have certified Club Handicap. Players also contested a Single Stableford Competition on each course each day for 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd prizes and in addition a prize for the best lady and gent performance of the Classic. The team event was run on the Stableford point system with the best 3 cards per team to carry forward each day with the best total over the 4 days determining the winners along’ with best Overseas, Irish, Mixed Gents and Ladies Team prizes. Superb Waterford Crystal Trophies were won by the best 3 Teams of the Classic (Trophy for each player). Players had to compete on the four days to be eligible for any prizes during the Classic, including individual and daily prizes. Temporary replacements were not eligible for any prize, including individual prizes and were not counted within the team score. Teams were split into 2x2 playing back to back e.g. Time 10.30 – Murphy(2) and Power(2) Time 10.38 – Power(2) and Murphy(2). There were changes of opposition each day and Tee Times over the 4 days were varied.

Dungarvan Autumn Pairs Golf Classic

Following on from the success of the Senior Pairs Classic in April and The Dungarvan Golf International last month, the three local clubs now announce details of the Dungarvan Autumn Pairs Classic. This event is open to all golfers, Ladies and Gents, and teams can be Ladies, Gents or mixed.

Forthcoming Events

Minor Scratch Cup

The timesheet is now filling up quite nicely for our Minor Scratch Cup which takes place on Sunday 30^th September, and which is kindly sponsored this year by Gleeson Group. It is an 18 Hole Stableford event with a handicap range of 18 plus. There are limited times available even at this early stage, so to make a reservation please telephone West Waterford on 058-43216 or 058-41475.    

Club Classic Kindly Sponsored by RPD Construction (Ray Donnelly)

The annual fundraising Open Club Classic will take place on Sunday 14^th October (limited time up to 10am also on Saturday 13^th October). This important fundraiser for the Club helps in the running of Club teams and supporting the junior section which is all the more pertinent this year following the Club’s second All Ireland Junior Foursomes title in 3 years.

All members are urged to bring along two golfers from visiting clubs for this open 3 person event. To win 2 All-Ireland titles in 3 years is truly a remarkable achievement for such a small club and it shows the abundance of talent that our young members have. The cost of bringing any team to an All-Ireland final bears heavily on the club’s finances and that is one of the main reasons we run a club classic each year. The committee of West Waterford urges all members to redouble their efforts this year. The Club Classic is being kindly sponsored this year by RPD Construction (Ray Donnelly) and the Club is very appreciative of his support.

Teams of three for the Classic may be gents, ladies or mixed. The format is 1 to count on the first six holes, 2 to count on the next 9 holes and all three to count on 16, 17 and 18 (TBC). Tee times may be reserved by telephoning West Waterford on 058-43216 or 058-41475.

Special Presentation to All-Ireland Junior Foursomes Winning Team

A special presentation to all the panelists and Team Captain Justin Spratt of the All Ireland Junior Foursomes winning team will take place on Sunday 14^th October following the Club Classic. The presentation was deferred owing to the sad and untimely passing of former Lady Captain Bernie Twomey.

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.
