Dundalk Golf Club notes
Golf news from DGC
Storm Bert caused the start of the Precision Cables Winter League to be postponed last weekend so it will tee off this week and will be run over six rounds which will be played either side of Christmas at Dundalk Golf Club.
Ten teams made up of eight players each have been selected. The best four scores will count for each team and the winners will be the team with the highest points total at the end of the six.
