Haha. No you don’t have to be a member elsewhere. I’ll PM you email address of secretary if you want to enquire. Its brilliant value and you get your GUI card. Only thing is you cant win the Captains prize or Presidents prize or vote but there was no fear of me doing any of those anyway. You get a few free green fees as well when you sign up.

Send it on!

That was Slievenamon. There were 2 fellas playing out of there that were absolute bandits. They went around the country hoovering up prizes. They were kicked out of Slievenamon and their application to join Clonmel was denied as well.

When I played I was a member of West Waterford. Now there’s a lovely track. Would put manners on you

Its my least preferred of the three in Dungarvan

Kenmare is my least preferred golf course that I’ve played. You have blind shots on almost every hole. You can be striking the ball lovely and get severely punished for not knowing the lines. Tiny, fast, horrible greens too

When I started playing first a fella told me to play off tour handicap i.e. if your off 18 play the par 3 as 4s, 4s as 5s etc… always thought it was good advice…an average golfer wont birdie that many holes any day out…but will play every hole for a birdie

Thats exactly why they offer the distance membership.

If any club golfer can keep double bogeys off the card they’ll get bonus days of a few birdies and extra pars.

The best advice I got is never follow a bad shot with a stupid one.

We’ll agree to disagree. Dungarvan is good tbf but WW is better than the Gold Coast. Great back 9 in WW and the 2/3/4/5 holes are class too

I’ll give you it’s better than the gold coast. I’m being unfair because I’ve never ever played well in west Waterford

But a lot if not most places will only allow you to be a distance member if you are a member of another club already

Not down this way anyway. I’m in cahir on a distance package
