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.

Kierane Given the amount of water we now have available, our greens are being well watered. Being softer than normal, please be aware of pitch marks on the Greens.
