JOHN WHITE CARPENTRY SPONSORED WINTER LEAGUE 2022/23

This year’s winter league has now entered its 11th week. The League runs until the 10th of February 2023 so there is plenty opportunity to get in the required rounds. The format is 9 teams of 12 players with 10 rounds to be played. 6 teams out of the 9 will go through to the play offs. A huge thank you again to our sponsor John White.

CARE OF THE GREENS

To keep our greens in excellent condition we wish to make golfers mindful to please repair all pitch marks. At this time of year, even small pitch shots into the green can damage the surface. To bring extra focus on repairing these marks, greens have been assigned to each of the Gents Winter League teams as follows:

1^st and 10^th Green: Abbeyside

2^nd and 11^th Green: An Rinn

3^rd and 12^th Green: Ballinacourty

4^th and 13^th Green: Comeragh

5^th and 14^th Green: Cork

6^th and 15^th Green: Dungarvan

7^th and 16^th Green: Dunhill

8^th and 17^th Green: Nire/Tourneena

9^th and 18^th Green: Stradbally

Thank you for your continued co-operation.

MARKING OF CARDS

Players need to be aware that you can’t for any reason mark your own card while playing your round of golf you must give your card to your playing partner who will mark your card and you will mark his/hers until round is complete. Only then will you get your card back to enter into the computer.

SOUTHEAST JUNIOR ALLIANCE

We had a large attendance for the South East Junior Alliance on Sunday.  Thank you to Alan Darcy for organizing the timesheet on the day and keeping everything running smoothly.  Full results in next week’s notes.

Members of the three local golf clubs Goldcoast, Dungarvan and West Waterford are reminded they can avail of reciprocal golf for only €15 greenfees on weekdays.  This is a great opportunity to play our neighbouring courses for fantastic value.  To make a booking please telephone the offices of the respective clubs.

GET WELL WISHES

Our Lady Captain Rosie and members wish to send our warmest wishes to Helena who unfortunately sustained a major fracture just before Christmas. Thankfully she is making a fantastic recovery after emergency surgery, as the first question to her surgeon was how soon she could play golf!!!

For those who have had the pleasure of playing golf with Helena will know her game is very akin to a whirlwind tearing through the course putting people half her age to shame, so watch out when she takes to the fairways again!!

Candles are lit and prayers said for a speedy recovery, hope to see you soon Helena, you are missed!!

GIFT IDEAS

Ladies, we have a new consignment of beautiful beanie hats now in stock, colours have been selected to compliment our new golf clothing additions which will keep you warm and smart for the winter season!! Our broad range of club clothing in mix and match colours make wonderful and useful gifts!!

MOORINGS WINTER LEAGUE

Due to severe frost followed by torrential showers, high winds and a mixed bag of incredible conditions our league has been hampered but hopefully the weather will improve and we will take to the fairways again to shed the extra pounds accumulated over the Festive Season!!

Entries are now halfway or better from many of the team members with players taking advantage of the good days. Well done to all who have put in a tremendous effort to date!

NEW MEMBER DEALS

Ladies, if you had ever thought of taking up golf, now is the time to do it, our Lady Captain Rosie and any committee member would be delighted to take out potential members and showcase our beautiful course and unrivalled scenery!!
