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.

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
