Takapau 30 Hole Strokeplay Tournament, Great to see a large turnout of Dannevirke players at Takapau. I believe 16 of us. Despite what you may have heard, I feel Takapau is back on track, and their course is in tidy condition, with al ot of spraying happening around the creek, fairways and greens all in good order. Some members who walked away from their Club a couple of years ago have returned, so here's hoping for a bright future for Takapau. Brad Dippie, Peter Gregory, Billy Te Ture and myself were mentioned in the trophy list, apologies if I missed some. I may have been put off by the fact Billy T was a Junior. Rosebowl was not good for us, finishing 5th and gaining one point.
Saturday 7th September 11am Tee Off Kitt Kerr Hape Simpson Foursomes. This competition was given some air time on Dannevirke radio last week by Pat Walshe, and was informed by a couple of our historians as to who they all were. Apparently at one time there were only three Trophies, but the late Bob Simpson donated the fourth as he and his partner could never make the top three. As has been mentioned before, it is the only men's foursomes competition on our calendar so come on out and join in.
Greenwood Cup, This years competition is coming up in early October, with rounds 1-3 being played at Waipukurau. Note the date change for anyone wanting to go and watch. The first weekend is October 5th and 6th (a change from the club programme)
Fielding Interclub. One of longest running inter clubs is coming up on Saturday 9th November. Keep this day free and join the club for a visit to Fielding
Hopefully we don't receive all the rain that is predicted so we can get a game in on Saturday. You can record the All Blacks v Tonga game being played in Hamilton Saturday afternoon, and watch it when you get home.
Good Golfing

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
2020:
Saturday January 11th Summer Cup Qualifying (top 32)
Christmas Message. Wishing all members a safe and happy Christmas and New Year. If you are travelling, please do so safely. Enjoy your time with family and friends. If time allows, hit the fairways
Good Golfing,
Merry Christmas,
