Sisters Club. from Stephen

Another successful tournament was held at Queens Birthday weekend with 70 plus players competing on Sunday. Thanks to all those that played or helped in some way during the 3 days our Sister Club visitors were in Dannevirke. The results were like the weather, abysmal! Patea were first with an average 32.6 followed by Weedons 32.5, Rarangi 31.9 and Dannevirke 31.4. Brooke Hale from Rarangi shot a 66 on Sunday to win the Alex Burgen Memorial Cup. For Dannevirke Laura Hurrell with 41 points was the top Dannevirke golfer on a count back from Chris Peck followed by daylight!

Next year it’s off to Blenhiem and hopefully some of the members new to this tournament might consider turning out again. In 2021 Patea will host the 50th playing of the event and it was agreed by the Club Captains that we will participate in that tournament. Everyone involved would agree there’s great camaraderie between all involved with a lot of banter and laughter happening on the course and in the Clubhouse.

Once again a huge thanks to everyone who supported the tournament.

Saturday June 8th Card Draw 11.30am Tee Off

Sat 8th / Sunday 9th Coronation Cup Finals; Onga Onga. Best wishes to our Zone 3 winners Pongaroa for the weekend at Onga Onga

Eagles Golfing Society of HB. On Tuesday last a contingent of Eagles came to Dannevirke to play with the Tuesday Seniors. On a cool but otherwise pleasant day, there was a field of about 40 players. As mentioned last week, after golf Robin Daily was presented with Honorary Membership to the Eagles Golfing Society, Robin joins the two other Honorary Members Sir Brian Lochore and Julian Robertson. Kevin Pike from Waipukurau (born Dannevirke ) provided the history of RB, Also to speak were Brian Doyle, John Dorreen and Kim Southerden. Congratulation RB

After last weekend and Tuesday I'm a bit gun shy on weather conditions, so hopefully Saturday will dawn a pleasant day, and we can all head out to the course for a round of golf.

Good Golfing

Latest news from the club

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,
