Club AGM this week
The Club Annual General Meeting will take place on Thurs 29th January at 7.00pm in the clubhouse, and all members are encouraged to attend.
Inter-Club Competitions 2026
The first real signs that summer golf is on the horizon appeared this week with the publication of the 2026 Inter-Club competition draws by Golf Ireland. It is always a date that generates plenty of interest, sparking conversations in Golf Clubs about first-round matchups, the chance to visit new courses, and the possibilities that may unfold over the coming months.
For West Waterford teams, this year’s draws offer plenty of such opportunities, and there is every hope that one or more of our sides will be able to take full advantage of them in the season ahead.
- Men’s Senior Cup: vs Faithlegg GC (to be played by 26-June-2026)
- Barton Shield: vs Dungarvan GC (to be played by 14-June-2026)
- Jimmy Bruen: vs Carrick-on-Suir GC (to be played by 20-June-2026)

Club Winter League, sponsored by Comeragh Oil
The Comeragh Oil–sponsored Club Winter League continued last week, but poor weather conditions limited opportunities for scoring. Nevertheless, the hardy few who braved the elements once again produced some excellent returns.
Overall, there was little change in the team standings. However, the individual competitions are beginning to heat up, with Mark Coles and Peter Hayes currently vying for top spot in the nine-hole category. In the 13-hole competition, Mark Coles again leads the way, joined at the top of the leaderboard by Paul Kelleher and Jack O’Donnell. So, lots to play for in the week ahead.
