Dannevirke Golf Club News 18/10/18

Bryan Burt Club Captain • October 18, 2018

Evening all,
Last weekends Greenwood Cup Rounds 1-3 would have to have yielded the best result for many years by our team, winning all three matches. Four more to go in November, so to the team, well done thus far, and all the very best for rounds 4-7. This is how things panned out (written by Wayne Mudgeway) GHB Secretary

"Round One of the prestigious Greenwood Cup was held over the weekend, the hosting shared by the OngaOnga and Waipawa Golf Clubs. I wasn’t present but I understand Saturday the weather was a bit on the cold side (in fact very cold side) but Sunday had a bit more sunshine.

A big thank you to OngaOnga and Waipawa for making their course and facilities available.

Some interesting results to come out of the weekends matches which will make the second round at Napier in November very intriguing.

Unbeaten on 6 points are Dannevirke, flying the flag for the smaller clubs with wins over Napier, Hawkes Bay and Waipukurau and a commanding 21 games won out of a possible 30 In second place are Maraenui with 5 points (18.5 games won), also unbeaten but a half with OngaOnga keeps them in with a big chance next month. OngaOnga are also unbeaten and officially sit in 3rd place with 4 points (19 games won) by virtue of the half with Maraenui, another one with Hastings and a win over Karamu. Also on 4 points and in 4th place are defending champs Napier (17.5 games won) and I guess all these teams are in a position to win overall; whichever one doesn’t lose a another game. Hastings sit in 5th place on 3 points (18 games won) but will most likely need results to go their way to be a winning chance. Hawkes Bay are in 6th with just the 1 point (11 games won), Waipukurau 7th, also on 1 point (10.5 games won) and in 8th place without a win at this stage is Karamu (4.5 games won). Karamu are having their first taste of Greenwood, having won promotion in a challenge match over Takapau back in July.

So some great golf is in store next month and as you can see 5 teams are still in with a chance – some bigger chances than others but with the best of our golfers going head to head, it is going to be very exciting."

Friday 19th October; Twilight commences, Chappy Maniapoto is taking a well earned rest from the BBQ this year, so our new BBQ queen is Emily Mott. Trialing Friday twilight for a while, as we clash with tennis and social darts on Thursday
