| St Josephs Ambrose. Great day and great support, with 25 teams of 3, competing this year. This is the largest field ever for the school, The prize table of 10 Liter buckets filled by donations from school family's is a great idea, and this year, all players received a bucket. Thanks to our club members for your support. Maybe there was some potential golfers out there on Saturday
MCI & Associates Mixed Foursomes. We have two new names on the trophy this year, with Jo Ruwhiu and Syd Hikawai taking out the Gross prize. Nett winners were Marilyn Hall & Rod Henricksen, Stableford, Laura & Dave Hurrell, Runners up Gwen Murphy & yours truly.

2019 / 2020 Twilight Golf.
Looking for information that I can include in next weeks What's On
With the golfing year coming to a finish, the need for a weekly What's On, is becoming unnecessary,. It will continue until Greenwood and Christmas Cheer and the AGM are completed, then take a break until mid February.. The first What's On went out in 2012 to a hand full of members, and was produced as and when necessary. As numbers grew, so did the frequency, and now it is a Thursday night ritual, as is the reading by over 100 members and spouses.
Good luck if you are heading to Fielding on Saturday, or playing on our own immaculate course over the weekend. Last weekend it was difficult to tell that the Greens had only been cored for less than two weeks, and a huge thanks to Kierane and AG for mowing the greens for both tournaments. On Sunday afternoon we played through a group of 4 men, 2 from Wellington and two from Auckland. One Aucklander wanted to shift our course north, and commented he would gladly pay his $1700 sub to play on it. The four ingredients for golf are a course, ball, clubs, and the human. It never ceases to amaze me that, 90% of the blame for bad golf is on the first three, never the human. Get out there, enjoy the game, the walk and the company, and if you want to change something, we have an AGM in early December.
Good Golfing

On Course Tee Signs: A big shout-out to our tee sponsors for their continued support of our Club. With business changes, we have 5 tee signs available for advertising your business. If any member wishes to take up one of these signs, please contact our Secretary Bailey Harold at dannevirkegolf@xtra.co.nz. Annual General Meeting; Monday 8th December. Another call please, for members to consider putting themselves forward for nomination to the various committees. Our thanks to Bailey for her work to date on the new constitution. Every Club in NZ has to update their Constitution before the end of April 2026, so we can continue to apply for Charity funding etc. Golf NZ produced a template, and we are just adding the final touches for our Club. This will need to be adopted at the AGM. At this point, we have not had any major damage on our course with the wind, but today is going to be another windy one. Fingers crossed, we get through unscathed, and the wind settles for a fine weekend with ample opportunity to play some golf. Best wishes to all who are traveling this weekend for tournaments or other golfing adventures. Travel safely and play well. Good Golfing👍 Bryan Burt Club Scribe

Greenwood Cup Rounds 1-3; Conditions at Waipukurau Golf Club were very pleasant for two rounds of golf Saturday and one Sunday. The rough at Waipukurau has for years has been dense clover and still is, which can be deceiving, as the ball looks ok, but the clover can be difficult to hit from. Saturday morning the team played Karamu having a 7 to 3 win, followed in the afternoon with an 8.5 to 1.5 win against Central Hawkes Bay. Sunday morning we came up against the first of the city Clubs Napier, and were defeated 7 to 3. Two matches concluded with draws on the 18th, and 3 finished on the 17th, so it wasn't all bad. The current standings are Hastings first on 6 points with 27.5 games, Onga Onga second also on 6 points and 23 games, Napier third with 4 points and 20 games, with Dannevirke fourth on 4 points and 18.5 games. Looking forward to the final four rounds at Hastings Golf Club on November 15th & 16th . Annual General Meeting; Monday 8th December at 7.30pm. A reminder to Committee chairman and others to have your reports to Gail by next weekend (Labour Weekend) for the Annual Report.

(Runs the duration of daylight saving) For membership forms see Patrick at Harold Golf Shop, or email Bailey at dannevirkegolf@xtra.co.nz . If your game is off colour at present, again see Patrick for a lesson. Good Golfing👍 Bryan Burt Club Scribe
