No5 Tee Undrawn players will go into a card draw.

Saturday 4th August. SHB 27 hole Strokeplay Tournament. (Ruahine Rosebowl) Early advise of our only mens tournament on the calander. We will be joined by players from Pongaroa, Cape Turnagain, Norsewood and Takapau playing in the Rosebowl competition. In the past couple of years our Senior field has been dominated by visitors. It would be great to see some more of our Greenwood players make this tournament, thus my early notice. 8.30am Tee Off Lunch and an evening meal. All day Gross & Nett competitions, plus morning Stableford, and afternoon par rounds.

Management Committee Meeting Wed 27th June; I have been asked to express our vote of thanks to the following three members. Firstly Ian Clapperton, who is retiring from purchasing for the bar, and over previous years Twilight. Ian has for a long time gone to New World to get Ginger Beer, Orange juice etc, for those who choose not to dring alcohol.. To Marcus Ransom, who donated his digger and time to remodel the track on No6 tee. When this was completed, we had one Saturday working bee to remove rocks from the two new faces in preparation for sowing, and our thanks to the members who attended. We wish to acknowledge the work done since by Bung Lilo, to continue removing stones. To all of these people, on behalf of the management committee and all members thankyou for your time and effort.. The greens committee intend leaving the bank as it is currently, When conditions are dry enough to have vehicles on the course, top soil will be spread onto the banks, any growth sprayed , then grass seed will be applied.

Common sense should prevail currently if your ball lands in this area as it is GUR (ground under repair). After sowing it may have a temporary fence, but currently people are still working on the faces, so fencing would be an inconveniance to them.

I beleive What's On now appears on the Dannevirke Golf Club and Dannevirke facebook pages, so not only members but the community are being kept up to date with whats happening at our Club.

Good luck to the field in the Presidents Cup.

Good Golfing

Latest news from the club

Evening all,
Annual General Meeting, A good muster of members attended last Mondays AGM, where the business section flew through, with finances in good heart, and obviously members are more than happy with the course, as no one raised any negative issues regarding the Club or the Course. Recognition of service in the form of Life Memberships were bestowed on Helen Martin, Max Charmley and Ian McKenzie. Speaking to these members were Gail Borlase, John Mackay and Ken Barnett. All three new Life Members have been members of the Club since the 70s or 80s, and since joining have spent countless years on Committees, I congratulate Helen, Max and Ian on an outstanding effort A list of the 2020 committee is attached for your interest. (It may be headed 2019, but it is in fact the 2020 list)
The Match committee are working on the 2020 programme. We have some dates through from GHB but not all, and April is a difficult month to programme around as this year both Easter and Anzac weekends fall in that month. With Anzac Day on a Saturday, Monday becomes an observed day, so we have a 4 day and a 3 day weekend within two weeks of each other
Saturday 14th December: Christmas Cheer 12 noon Shot Gun Start, $20 Entry fee. The entry sheet has plenty of names on it, looks like a good field. Marcus & Glen are again running their Hagggle, food and drinks hole, so come along one and all and enjoy the day
2020:
Saturday January 11th Summer Cup Qualifying (top 32)
Christmas Message. Wishing all members a safe and happy Christmas and New Year. If you are travelling, please do so safely. Enjoy your time with family and friends. If time allows, hit the fairways
