Forthcoming Events

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, and 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.

Open Qualifier kindly Sponsored by Al Eile Stud (Grand Final)

The timesheet for the Grand Final of the Al Eile Stud Open qualifier which takes place on Sunday 21^st October is now available. All qualifiers thus far have been notified and one and all are urged to telephone West Waterford on 058-43216 or 058-41475 as soon as possible to secure a tee-time for the Grand Final. The timesheet for the Grand Final which is an 18-hole Stableford competition is running from 9.30 am to 1.50pm. The presentation of prizes for the Grand Final and also the individual Wednesday winners will take place on Sunday 21^st October in the Clubhouse at 6.15.

Quiz Night on Friday 26^th October

All members and their friends are encouraged to come along to support this event which takes place on Friday 26^th October at West Waterford Golf Club. All proceeds are to support the fundraising efforts of staunch and loyal club member and incoming President for 2008 Bertie Hallahan who is supporting a team of builders who are going to build houses for people in need in the townships of Capetown, South Africa under the auspices of the Niall Mellon Township Trust for 2007.

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.

Deise Golf Pass News
