Evening all,


We have a busy weekend coming up with Pennants and Pongaroa 27 Hole Strokeplay Tournament, so people moving all around the area.


Saturday 6th April. Round 3 GHB Pennants. (Yes the Saturday round) Three of our six teams are playing the host Club, which is a big ask,


Championship 1 Host Onga Onga Dannevirke v Napier (I have received a start time attachment from Wayne Mudgeway, which I can't open, I will send it to a couple of you tomorrow from work)

Handicap 3 Host Karamu Dannevirke v Karamu 11.30am Tee Off

A request from Golf HB and relating to the rules of the above competition. Could all handicap team Captains, please ensure all six team cards are handed in for Handicapping. This rule is for Handicap matchplay only not Championship. Teams who fail to do so will in future have win points deducted for failure to comply. (Don't shoot the messanger)

Cornoation Cup 18th & 19th May This year our Zone play is at Pongaroa. Please advise Mike or any member of the match Committee if you wish to be considered for this team, or indeed if you have played the past couple of years and are unavailable this year, so the selection committee know who they are selecting from


Ladies: Last weeks mystery trip ended up in Martinborough, followed by lunch at Gails sisters then, then a shopping spree in Carterton. Pennatns today but no result as yet.


Shame we have had no rain, the greens need a good shower to move on from the coring,


That's it folk, plenty of golf to be played, so go out and enjoy the game, and best wishes for what ever competition you are playing

Saturday 25th October; Club day draw 11.15 am, Tee off 11.30 am. Duty, Richie, House, Angela. 2026 Barry Illsley Sponsored 72 Hole Matchplay Open Tournament. Preliminary work is underway for this tournament. Dates yet to be confirmed, but it looks like the Wellington Anniversary Weekend in January, starting on Friday, and concluding on Sunday. Presidents Cup Final: t o be contested between Timmy Bell and Denzil Treacy Junior. Sattrup & Brannigan, 2025 winners Mark Rosocaker & Chappy Maniapoto. Congratulations guys. Ladies Shoot Out; Completed today with Margaret Treacy winning from Margaret Stephenson. Another great day from all accounts. 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

Congratulations , too Margaret Stephenson, (Senior) Sue Burlace (Intermediate) and Kerrie Gundersen (Junior). Runners up being , Angela Farrell, Margaret Treacy and Rainier Arnold. 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. With daylight saving now in progress, encourage any friends or relatives that are keen to maybe consider a Summer Subscription. (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
