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

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."
