DONNCHADH DUNNE ELECTRICAL W.E.S. WINTER LEAGUE 2025/2026
A quick reminder: please enter all your Winter League scores on the computer and place your physical scorecards in the box even if a round didn’t go to plan or won’t count towards your top ten. This helps us keep accurate records and process cards efficiently.
Our Gents Winter League has entered its sixth week. Thanks to everyone for making a great effort so far. 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 and the computer — 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. From Monday 17th November to Sunday 14th December, the competition prizes for the Winter League will be Hams.
LETS LOOK AFTER OUR GREENS
We all enjoy playing on quality greens, so let’s work together to keep them in top shape this winter!
