Evening all,
Coronation Cup Finals. ( Supplied by Wayne Mudgeway)

The 2019 Coronation Cup finals were played at OngaOnga last Saturday and Sunday.The 4 teams that won through to the final were Te Pohue from Zone 1, Napier from Zone 2, Porongahau from Zone 3 and Pongaroa in Zone 4. Saturday weather was rather cold, windy and wet at times, but Sunday was a brilliant day weather wise. The hosting club OngaOnga did an outstanding job which made the weekend flow very well so special thanks to John Swinburne and his team for looking after everybody.

After the Saturday play it was very even, with maybe Te Pohue holding a slight advantage in games but come Sunday, Napier took full advantage of the improved conditions, being unbeaten with 8 wins and 4 halves across the 12 players.

Napier took out the cup with 6 points from 3 wins, while the other three teams went turnabout, beating each other, all having 1 win each, so 2 points each.

Congratulations to Napier GC and the players involved for the win – unbeaten on the last day speaks for itself, a great achievement. Robin Daley, a Golf HB and Golf NZ life member presented the trophy to Gerry Gray, the Napier captain.

Finally, thanks to Russell Burns who looked after the day for Golf HB and again to John and OngaOnga for the presentation of the course and the catering.

We now look forward to 2020.

With 116mm rain over the last 24 hours,(my rain gauge) I can assure you the summer run will be gone now for a while. We will see how it all soaks in in the new day or so.

On Course Tee Signs: A big shout-out to our tee sponsors for their continued support of our Club. With business changes, we have 5 tee signs available for advertising your business. If any member wishes to take up one of these signs, please contact our Secretary Bailey Harold at dannevirkegolf@xtra.co.nz. Annual General Meeting; Monday 8th December. Another call please, for members to consider putting themselves forward for nomination to the various committees. Our thanks to Bailey for her work to date on the new constitution. Every Club in NZ has to update their Constitution before the end of April 2026, so we can continue to apply for Charity funding etc. Golf NZ produced a template, and we are just adding the final touches for our Club. This will need to be adopted at the AGM. At this point, we have not had any major damage on our course with the wind, but today is going to be another windy one. Fingers crossed, we get through unscathed, and the wind settles for a fine weekend with ample opportunity to play some golf. Best wishes to all who are traveling this weekend for tournaments or other golfing adventures. Travel safely and play well. Good Golfing👍 Bryan Burt Club Scribe

Greenwood Cup Rounds 1-3; Conditions at Waipukurau Golf Club were very pleasant for two rounds of golf Saturday and one Sunday. The rough at Waipukurau has for years has been dense clover and still is, which can be deceiving, as the ball looks ok, but the clover can be difficult to hit from. Saturday morning the team played Karamu having a 7 to 3 win, followed in the afternoon with an 8.5 to 1.5 win against Central Hawkes Bay. Sunday morning we came up against the first of the city Clubs Napier, and were defeated 7 to 3. Two matches concluded with draws on the 18th, and 3 finished on the 17th, so it wasn't all bad. The current standings are Hastings first on 6 points with 27.5 games, Onga Onga second also on 6 points and 23 games, Napier third with 4 points and 20 games, with Dannevirke fourth on 4 points and 18.5 games. Looking forward to the final four rounds at Hastings Golf Club on November 15th & 16th . Annual General Meeting; Monday 8th December at 7.30pm. A reminder to Committee chairman and others to have your reports to Gail by next weekend (Labour Weekend) for the Annual Report. With daylight saving now in progress, encourage any friends or relatives that are keen to maybe consider a Summer Subscription. (Runs the duration of daylight saving) For membership forms see Patrick at Harold Golf Shop, or email Bailey at dannevirkegolf@xtra.co.nz . If your game is off colour at present, again see Patrick for a lesson. Good Golfing👍 Bryan Burt Club Scribe
