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

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

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

" Kia ora e te whānau, our golf tournament last weekend was awesome, with 105 golfers turning up to support our school and try their luck at winning $20 000! 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." Special General Meeting; Thank you to the 55 members who turned out Monday night for the purpose of " Setting the annual member subscription fees for the 2026 / 2027 year. " The conclusion being the annual subscriptions for 2026 / 2027 is $665 for full playing members. The Management Committee acknowledges their error in not advertising this as an Agenda item at the AGM in December. Matter sorted, repeat of error to be avoided, move on. We are in the thick of Match Play golf with GHB Pennants and now Club Champs, and in April, the Coronation Cup. I hope all participants enjoy the experience. Good Golfing👍 Bryan Burt Club Scribe
