The latest from the Club Captain

Bryan Burt - Club Captain • December 13, 2018

Evening all,

Thanks to our members for your support of the annual Christmas Cheer last Saturday. A great day weather wise, and some pretty impressive golf. Chris Mason, a par round!. Many other scores in excess of 40 points, then the rest of us below 40 points, and maybe getting a new handicap for our efforts. Thanks also again to Marcus & Glen for the haggle hole. It's always good to arrive at the 14th and be welcomed with a ham sandwich and refreshments, followed by a donation to the haggle. If ever theres a day you are going to miss the green on number 14, its when Marcus has your money. We done guys, and thanks for giving up your day to entertain and feed us. Thanks also to Margaret and helpers for loading the prize table, and members of the Match and House committees for your work on the day.


Sunday 9th December, Amrit Prasad had a hole in one on the 14th. Congratulations Amrit. Just as well it wasn't 24 hour prior, the boys may have needed another bottle of whiskey.


Also on Sunday, Rodney Henricksen picked up a pair of glasses beside the mens number two tee. They are brown, and he thinks they are ladies prescription glasses. However they may belong to a man, who are we to judge?. If you haven't been able to read the newspaper this week, they may be yours. Rodney has them at home, so give him a call on 374-9937.


Well, another year done and dusted. Over the holiday period, we will keep with the 11.30am card draw on Saturdays, so members know they will get a game if they turn up prior to that time. Our first official event of 2019 is Summer Cup Qualifying on Saturday 12th January.


On behalf of the Management Committee, Greens, House, Seniors,Ladies and Twilight Committees, thankyou for your envolvement this year. Saturdays have attracted some of the larger fields seen on Mens Club days for some time. We still have more full playing memebers than we see, but their continued support of Dannevirke Golf Club is is valued. Have a very Merry Christmas, and a great New Year. Travel safely. Remember treat the roads like fairways, you need to stay slightly left of centre, The rough is not a good place to be.


Signing off until 2019.

Have a good one


Bryan Burt
