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}

Round 5; participating handicap division players will randomly have some cards checked to see that they have been handed in afterwards (especially the high scoring ones!!??) – again, please be sure to tell your players to hand those cards in as is required by the rules of golf! " Its a NZ Golf Ruling regarding handicap Matchplay not a Mudgy one so please Captains collect and hand in 6 cards, Scribe"

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

" Kia ora e te whānau, our golf tournament last weekend was awesome, with 105 golfers turning up to support our school and try their luck at winning $20 000! Unfortunately, no one was able to ‘sink a hole in one’ and win the money. A big thank you to Mr Amrit Pasad and all the staff and students who helped to make this event a success. We would also like to thank the Dannevirke Golf Course, our generous sponsors and our community for entering the tournament and participating in the fundraising activities held on the day. All profits of this event will go towards our students’ sports travel." Special General Meeting; Thank you to the 55 members who turned out Monday night for the purpose of " Setting the annual member subscription fees for the 2026 / 2027 year. " The conclusion being the annual subscriptions for 2026 / 2027 is $665 for full playing members. The Management Committee acknowledges their error in not advertising this as an Agenda item at the AGM in December. Matter sorted, repeat of error to be avoided, move on. We are in the thick of Match Play golf with GHB Pennants and now Club Champs, and in April, the Coronation Cup. I hope all participants enjoy the experience. Good Golfing👍 Bryan Burt Club Scribe
