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