A few items to cover this week, so while I have the time here is this weeks What's On

Pennants , Wayne Mudgeway sent through a very good summary after 4 rounds, with one round to go on Sunday 12th May. You can all see where your team is and what your chances are of making the finals, if you haven't already.

Round 4 of pennants was held on Sunday and like the third day in a Golf Major, it was “moving day”. After the days results, some teams are now already into the finals and some teams are definitely not.

However, there are some amazingly close contests going on that will only establish the finalists once the results are in after round 5.

Thank you to those responsible for getting the results in this week, I hardly had to chase at all and just me being busy at work has held me up getting them out until now.

In Championship 1 Napier and Hastings top the table but Maraenui, OngaOnga and Hawkes Bay can make it with big wins in the last week.

In Championship 3; well who would know? – Hawkes Bay (25.5 games won), Hastings (25.5 also) and Napier( 24) all have 6 points so it is down to the wire. Hastings play Napier and Hawkes Bay play Dannevirke who could also make it if they happened to have a big win over Hawkes Bay.

In Handicap 1 Te Pohue and Wairoa lead the way with 6 points but both play teams on 4 points but can make it by winning and increasing the number of games won. Very close there.

In Handicap 3 Karamu are home, but 4 teams are in contention for the other finalist spot.

In Handicap 4 Maraenui are into the finals and whoever wins between Wairoa and Dannevirke will meet them in the final.

In Handicap 5 Dannevirke and Napier have made the finals with a week to go.

As per normal, these are the results as I have calculated – if anyone sees anything different, please give me a call.

In round 5 single divisions are being played at Dannevirke (C1) ,Takapau (H2) and Hawkes Bay (H5) so presume about an 11.00am tee off.

Hastings are hosting C2 & H4 and a draw has been made up and I believe most clubs have received direct from Hastings (however, I will send it again) and C3, H1 and H3 are all being held at Maraenui. When Phil and the team at Maraenui get a draw sorted I will send it out as well.

So a summary of results is attached, along with the draw for the fifth and final round.

Sister Clubs :

The Dannevirke Golf Club is hosting this year’s Sisters Club event. On Saturday 1 June and Sunday 2 June we will be hosting between 50 and 60 visitors from the Patea, Rarangi and Weedons Golf Clubs. The Dannevirke Golf Club initiated this event in 1972 meaning almost 50 years of involvement, quite some record. Therefore we are asking members to give their full support to this event. This support can take many forms, we need players, we’re looking at an unprecedented 3 peat, having won the last 2 events! As with any tournament we require help with morning tea, scoring and the bar. We’re also looking for donations of a bottle of wine or a bottle of spirits for approaches and the raffle. If you can help in anyway please contact Stephen Paewai, Bryan Burt or Peter Greatbatch.

Sunday 5th May; Cape Turnagain 27 Hole Strokeplay Tournament. Round 2 Ruahine Rosebowl 8am cup of tea, 8.30am Tee Off

Saturday 11th May; Club Championship Finals. Looking at the result sheets, it looks like we are ready to go. Any non completed matches will hopefully be cleared up this weekend. A draw will be published next Thursday

New member Shane Catherall, has moved here from Tauranga and needs to put in a few cards to get a handicap. Welcome to Dannevirke Shane.

Not sure that I will make the fairways this weekend, but to those finishing matches Saturday or heading to the coast Sunday, all the very best.

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
