DONNCHADH DUNNE ELECTRICAL W.E.S. WINTER LEAGUE 2025/2026
Our Gents Winter League has entered its second week, and there’s been an excellent turnout so far with over 90% member participation.
Qualifying rounds continue until 22nd February 2026. Each competition is played over 18 holes, with a daily competition fee of €8 for the first 10 rounds entered and €5 for all subsequent rounds. Players can play on any day and as often as they wish during the qualifying period. To give your team the best chance of success, each player is encouraged to complete at least 10 rounds.
Thank you to everyone for taking care to record points and totals correctly on scorecards — it enables us to process cards quickly and helps keep the league running smoothly.
To follow your teams progress, scores can be viewed weekly on the club website news section.

ON THE COURSE
Please be mindful of your pace of play and keep up with the group ahead to ensure an enjoyable round for everyone. Remember the Three R’s: Rake Bunkers – Always rake the bunker after use, leaving it as you would hope to find it. Replace Divots – Replace and firmly press down any divots taken. Repair Pitch Marks – Repair your own pitch marks (and any others you see) on the greens to help keep surfaces smooth and true. Your cooperation helps maintain the course in excellent condition for all. Thank you. Winter rules are in operation, lift, clean & place on fairways and roughs (within 6 inches, not nearer the hole). All bunkers are G.U.R. Local Rule re. Abnormal Ground Conditions.
