DEISE GOLF WORLD WINTER LEAGUE PRESENTATION
This will take place on Friday 30th April at 9pm. All prize winners are requested to attend and support our generous sponsor Graham Nagle of Deise Golf World.

CLUB CLASSIC
Our Open “Club Classic” will be held from Friday 30th April to Sunday 2nd May. The format is a team of 4, any combination, with prizes for men’s, ladies and mixed teams. It will be 2 scores to count on holes 1 to 12, 3 scores on 13 to 15, and all 4 on 16 to 18. We would ask all members to make a special effort to support this important Club fund raising event. It is a great opportunity to invite friends, family or business associates to Dungarvan for a game of golf and show them what a great facility we have here. 

FRIDAY SCRAMBLES
The very sociable invitation Friday evening scrambles are commencing on Friday next 30th April at 6.30pm. Vice Captains Roger O’Connor & Mary Phelan are looking forward to welcoming members old and new to this very enjoyable 9 hole fun fixture over the coming months. It is an “invitation” event, so members are encouraged to bring along a guest, and new members are especially welcome, as it is a great way to get to meet other members in a very informal atmosphere. So if you have nothing better to do at 6.30 on a Friday evening, why not play golf?
