The third round of the Waterford Crystal sponsored Winter Series was played for last Thursday and in testing conditions which saw the course play its full length. The West Waterford pairing of James Cooney and David Morrissey just prevailed on the day. They got the better of Owen Phelan and his son, Alan, by virtue of a better back nine holes. Both pairings scored 40 points to edge out three more pairings who had 39 points. David had a great round of golf and he was the definite mainstay of the pairing featuring on 14 holes in the overall round. Their back nine of 22 points was just a point too good for Owen and Alan who had nines of 19 and 21 points respectively against the winners 18 and 22 points. The Waterford lads now qualify for the Grand Final to be played in April. The next round of the Series will be played on Thursday 22nd November and this is a 3 Person Scramble and this competition is proving to be very popular with the timesheet filling up rapidly. Tee reservations can be made by phoning 056/7773071 or 7773064.
Mount Juliet are pleased to announce that the course has been given a slope rating of 148 from the white tees and 136 from the green tees. This will be of great interest to our visitors whose handicaps are controlled by slope ratings. The ratings are indicative of the difficulty for all golfers to score on the course and this adds to the challenge for all players to raise their game accordingly.
