Silver Anniversary Sunshine Classic It’s hard to believe that


it’s been 25 years since Pat Spratt realized his dream when West Waterford golf club officially opened for business. Much has hap- pened during those years and we will go into that in more detail at some other time. The Sunshine Clas- sic has become our major fundraiser down the years and has contributed enor- mously to the upkeep and

ongoing development of our facilities. For this we are eternally grateful to our members and espe- cially the many visitors who return annually to support our classic. We have talked to, and lis- tened to the views of everyone who has partic- ipated in the Classic down the years. As a result we have aimed to run the event in as fair a manner as we can thereby giving all competitors a realistic chance of winning.


In


this special year we have increased the prizes (not the prices) to say thank you to our supporters. The main prize of 4x€400 Travel vouchers gives the winners the flexibility to use their prize when, where, and how, they decide.


The follow-up


prizes include overnight accommodation, dinner and golf in some of the top venues in the region. Our Classic this year takes place from Saturday 24th March to Sunday 1st inclusive.

Super Sunshine Raffle


In conjunction with our Classic we are also hold- ing a raffle. Details of prizes will be published next week. We are ap- pealing to all members, especially those not play- ing in the Golf Classic to support this raffle. Tickets will be on sale from com-


mittee members shortly.


Comeragh Oil Winter League – Last Chance To Qualify The fourth and final qualifying round was due to finish 0n Sunday 18th February but due to pre- vailing weather conditions it has been extended to Sunday 25th


February.

one week still to go Car- rigaline continue to build on their third round surge and will provide a serious challenge

the initial entry fee, and played in at least one of the qualifying rounds, are eligible to compete in the matchplay rounds. Following round 4, the


top eight teams will qual- ify for the match-play stage of the league. The top 8 matches will start on Wednesday 28th

and 10th which have holes been com-


pleted. We are hoping to have all bunkers up to this standard over the next few months.


Apologies for
