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)

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

Unfortunately, no one was able to ‘sink a hole in one’ and win the money. A big thank you to Mr Amrit Pasad and all the staff and students who helped to make this event a success. We would also like to thank the Dannevirke Golf Course, our generous sponsors and our community for entering the tournament and participating in the fundraising activities held on the day. All profits of this event will go towards our students’ sports travel." Special General Meeting; Thank you to the 55 members who turned out Monday night for the purpose of " Setting the annual member subscription fees for the 2026 / 2027 year. " The conclusion being the annual subscriptions for 2026 / 2027 is $665 for full playing members. The Management Committee acknowledges their error in not advertising this as an Agenda item at the AGM in December. Matter sorted, repeat of error to be avoided, move on. We are in the thick of Match Play golf with GHB Pennants and now Club Champs, and in April, the Coronation Cup. I hope all participants enjoy the experience. Good Golfing👍 Bryan Burt Club Scribe
