Two Weeks to Go
We are looking forward as I am sure you all are to returning to the golf course on Monday April 26th. No effort has been spared in getting the course ready and you will be pleasantly surprised as the trees and shrubs have sprung into colour during the last few weeks. We would ask you to be mindful of the Covid 19 restrictions and the Golf Ireland Protocol. Remember, it’s Members Only and tee times must be booked in advance. The usual West Waterford Welcome awaits and we are looking forward to seeing you back over

Bí Ullamh
Yes, it’s time to get ready. It looks as though the long wait is finally coming to an end. Why not check your golf bag, your buggy, your battery and your golf shoes. Make sure you have a second golf ball just in case you might lose one following the long lay-off. It mightn’t be any harm to get the body back in shape if you haven’t been doing so recently.

Good News Week
St Patrick’s Day has come and gone and even if the regular celebrations were put on hold for a second year, what a week it’s been for Irish sport.

One week Closer
The waiting game goes on but at least we are moving closer to the proposed date for the lifting of Level 5 restrictions on April 5th. That means another 4 weeks at least before we see golf clubs reopening. Certainly the weather over the past weekend would have been ideal for golfing with daylight hours moving gradually moving closer to 7pm. We can dream about going out at 4.30 and getting 9 holes played. The good news is that our course crew are working hard in getting the course into shape. As you are aware the grass

One Year of Covid-19
As we mark one year since the discovery of the first case of covid 19 in Ireland I think it’s appropriate that we pause to remember all those who passed away during the pandemic. We also say a very special Thank You to all the frontline workers who put their own lives at risk to protect us during the past twelve months. As we eagerly await the imminent reopening of West Waterford golf club maybe we could be a little more patient and appreciate the fact that we are still around to experience the joys of
