Championship Final this Saturday
Bryan Burt - club scribe • May 10, 2019
Evening all,
Lots to cover tonight. Saturday is Championship Finals day, With the change in dates this year, we have one minor glitch.
Wedding
On Saturday 11 May the Club has been hired out to Ray and Doreen Black for their son’s wedding. Therefore the upstairs lounge will not be available on Friday and Saturday.
Not a problem, Championships are on the Course, the wedding is in the Clubhouse. Downstairs lounge will be used for after match and Trophy presentations. Speaking of Trophies, if you won one last year and took it home, please return it Saturday for Presentation (cleaned of course}

Sisters Club
A list is up outside the men’s lockers for those either interested in playing or helping at the Sisters Club event on the 1st and 2nd of June. We’re expecting close to 60 visitors so any help would be appreciated. Dannevirke have won the last 2 events so given home advantage we would like to get a large number of players. With one card in five being dropped from the scoring the larger the team the bigger the advantage.
A final note. Please remember I retired at the last AGM as the Club Captain, so pleeeease stop calling me about matches, etc etc, its not my call. Please contact Mike Matthews (Club Captain) on 021 402043 or mikematthews058@gmail.com. As the Club Scribe, I'm doing What's On, that's it.
Best wishes for all competing in the Championships, Plate Finals and Pennants on Sunday. See you at the office Sunday night
Good Golfing

Saturday June 14th; Wiffin Cup Round 2 matchplay. Duty, Match Bernie, House Basil A subtle reminder from our captains, that some round 1 Wiffin Cup matches are still outstanding. Please get these completed as soon as possible. Please let the person waiting to play the winner know what is happening, so they are aware. Sattrup & Brannigan; The draw is up in the club house. The weather was not that great last Saturday for first round matches, but again please keep in contact with your opponents, and get these games played before round 2 on June 28th. Given we are now in winter conditions, please use metal tracks etc where possible, especially if you are in a cart or on a bike. Skid marks take forever to grow grass in the winter, and your fellow golfers won't be happy playing off the bare dirt. Not a lot to report tonight, so I'll sign off. Good Golfing👍 Bryan Burt Club Scribe

Dannevirke South School is having a major reunion, and as such we have four groups of 4 playing nine holes at 9am. Please extend a warm welcome to our visitors. Saturday 31st / Sunday 1st June; Sisters Club Inter Club being played at Rarangi (Blenheim) We have a team of 20 heading south for this annual event, which is being played for about the 53rd time? Pine Trees; The Club has 6 plantations of pines which have been there for many years. The original intention being to plant these for harvest, and time has come for this process to begin. In the very near future, there will be felling carried out in three areas. Firstly some pines that need to come down at the back of number 11 green, by the railway, the plantation to the right of 13 (Lands End,) and a couple of pines to the left of number 13, which shade the green during winter. This work will have minimal effect on fairways, as the trees at the back of 11 will be trucked out via the farm, the lands end plantation will go out through the former Ministry of Works yard, the ones to the left of Lands end will go out along the river bank again to the MOW yard. The question of replanting, particularly the right of Lands End will be considered and proposals put to the December 2025 Annual General Meeting. All tree felling will be done early in the morning, and only trimming and log removal will carry on during the day. Please, If any area is fenced off, and No Entry signs are in place, then they are there for yours and the contractors safety. Such areas are not a recommendation, they are a rule, and any members seen entering these areas will be severely spoken too ! Another big weekend for Dannevirke mens golf. On behalf of our members, best wishes to our Coronation Cup team. Good Golfing,👍 Bryan Burt Club Scribe
