Dannevirke Golf Club.... So many opportunities to play golf.

Bryan Burt - Club scribe • Sep 12, 2019

Tomorrow the HB Eagles host and run their annual Halberg Tournament at Napier Golf Club, followed by dinner and the CEO of Halberg speaking. With the introduction of Lady Eagles this year, the Tournament has also been opened to a mixed field for the first time, and thus we have a full field. The past couple of year, each Tournament has presented around $15,000 to the Halberg Trust, so fingers crossed, tomorrow should produce a similar result.
Kitt, Kerr Hape Simpson Foursomes. Youth prevailed over experience last weekend with Richie Gray & Zane Gregory taking out the Kitt Trophy with a 66 Nett, followed by David & Laura Hurrell (Kerr) Phil Wilson & Bung Lilo (Hape) and Amrit Presda & Tim Small (Simpson) In all 15 pairs participated on a very nice but cool day.
Friday 13th September. Cape Turnagain, Stockies & Cockies Tournament. 11am Cuppa 11.30 tee off. On a good day, nothing beats a round at the Cape. Head on out there, you will be made most welcome. For those playing at home Friday a note from Clubhouse manager Stephen Paewai "On Friday 13 September the Golf Club has been hired by the Tararua Alliance for a social event. A small group will be there during the day preparing a hangi meal and they will be using the kitchen and upstairs lounge from 5 pm till 9 pm. Can the Friday golfers please use the back lounge off the dining room."
Saturday 14th September: 11am Card draw. Catch up day for Wiffin Cup and Sattrup & Brannigan Matches. Note 11am Start times will continue until daylight saving, so October 5th will be the first day we revert to an 11.30am Tee Off.
Rosebowl Competition 2019. This has still to be completed as Norsewood have not hosted their 27 hole tournament as yet. I believe Sunday 13th October is their latest tentative date. TBC
Charlies Golf Tours. The September Newsletter from Charlies is out a present and their are early Bird discounts for many of their tours next year. Take a look on their website or alternatively

Here's hoping tomorrows golf is way better than the effort Stephen Prenter and I put up last Saturday, Yes folk it was woeful, but as always the Emeralds Band was exceptional at the Services & Citizens Club on Friday night, so maybe we just don't do late nights any more ! .

Good Golfing

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
Good Golfing,
Merry Christmas,
Bryan Burt
