West Waterford Golf Club News – w/c 15th Mar 2026
Club Winter League Sponsored by Comeragh Oil
The club’s Winter League, kindly sponsored by Comeragh Oil, concluded on Friday, 13 March. This year’s competition has been a fantastic success, with a lot of positive comment on the format. It was fantastic to see both ladies and gents playing in the same groupings over the last few weeks, creating great connections and camaraderie within the club.
The final week saw the added incentive of double points awarded, prompting an excellent response with more than 200 rounds played over the seven days. The increased activity also brought notable changes on the leaderboard, with several teams making significant progress in the closing stages.
Final scores are currently being compiled, and the winners will be announced at a presentation in the clubhouse on Saturday evening at 6.30pm. Prizes will also be presented for best individual Gents’ 13-hole, best individual 9-hole, best individual Ladies’ 13-hole and best individual Ladies’ 9-hole, along with the weekly spot prize recipients.

We would love to see a large group of members and supporters attend on Saturday evening, both to congratulate the prize winners and to acknowledge the longstanding support of Comeragh Oil. The company has been a valued sponsor of this annual competition for more than 30 years, and the club remains deeply appreciative of its continued commitment this season.
Men’s Weekly 9-hole competition: 1st David Condon 20pts
St. Patrick’s 18-Hole Open 3-Person Champagne Scramble, sponsored by Kevin O’Leary group.
Play returned to full 18-hole competition last Saturday with the staging of the club’s Open 18-Hole 3-Person Champagne Scramble, kindly sponsored by the Kevin O’Leary Group, authorised dealers for Opel, Renault and Dacia. The club is sincerely grateful to the team in Clonmel for their generous support.
The course has been presented in excellent condition and has shown impressive resilience following the recent spell of very wet weather, reflecting the positive impact of the drainage works completed last year.
The competition, open to any combination of ladies and gents, will continue through to St Patrick’s Day, with re-entry permitted. A strong range of prizes is on offer for the leading teams, as well as for the leading mixed and ladies’ teams. Tee times can be booked via the BRS app, online through the club website, or by contacting the Pro Shop on 058 43216.
The club looks forward to welcoming both members and visitors for what promises to be an enjoyable and well-supported weekend of golf.

Family Fun Quiz Nights at West Waterford Golf Club
Our weekly family table quizzes continue next Sunday evening, 22nd March, from 5.00pm to 7.00pm. For the under 12’s, watch out for the great prize of a lesson with our new PGA professional, Colin, for the winner of round 8 on the last night (29th)!
For a fun and social evening for all the family, come along to the clubhouse on the next Two Sunday nights …you won’t regret it. If you don’t have a team, we will pair you up with some others to make a team.
Lost and Found
Finally, the lost and found bin at the club has recently yielded a rather suspicious item: a above wide-brimmed hat of questionable origin.
It is believed that this headgear may belong to a local “specialist” with a very persuasive need for high scores, but who suffers from a chronic allergy to the Handicap Secretary. Rumours have been swirling that several such “entrepreneurs” have been operating in the vicinity recently. However, it has been noted that one suspect made several visits to the “Bob Rotella of Dungarvan” for some clandestine 1-to-1 coaching. The results have been terrifying. This once-harmless shanker has been transformed into a lethal scoring machine, vacuuming up stableford points with the cold-blooded efficiency.
Members are officially advised to keep a sharp eye out for this clientele. If you see someone in a suspicious hat standing over a 40-foot birdie putt, do not approach. They are considered armed and dangerous—mostly with a scorecard that would make Colin in the Pro shop blush.
New Membership
There has been a strong response to the club’s new membership offers, with great interest already shown in the pro shop. For anyone considering joining West Waterford Golf Club, now is an excellent time to do so.
Get Into Golf programmes for ladies and gents will run later in the spring, with further details to follow shortly. A comprehensive junior programme is also being developed for 2026. With our resident PGA Professional on site and a fully stocked pro shop providing equipment, apparel, custom fitting and coaching, several exciting club developments being promised in the coming weeks.
The club’s course, designed by the renowned Eddie Hackett, is now available for year-round play following major drainage improvements. For further information, contact Colin in the pro shop on 058 43216.
