A couple of notices for this week’s club email please, (from Stephen Paewai)

Sisters Club

The Dannevirke Golf Club is hosting the annual Sisters Club tournament at Queen’s Birthday weekend, Friday 31 May – Monday 3 June. A meeting is being held on Monday 4 February at 7.30 pm at the Golf Club to begin arrangements for the event. If you are able to assist with the running of this event please come along to the meeting, if you are unable to attend but want to help please contact Stephen Paewai at steveandmoira@xtra.co.nz or 0211658685.

The tournament has been running for over 40 years and involves the Dannevirke, Patea, Rarangi (Blenhiem) and Weedons Golf Clubs. Although playing numbers have been declining in recent years it was decided to continue running the tournament in it’s current format. This starts with a meet and greet on Friday evening, a round of golf Saturday followed by an evening meal, the tournament is held on the Sunday with the presentation of trophies, an evening meal and entertainment. We are keen to get good support as the Dannevirke Golf Club has won the last 2 years, which is unprecedented as the home team has a significant advantage and we want to make sure of maximising our advantage this year.

Marae tournament

The annual marae tournament is being held on Saturday 23 February details are on the board and those interested can put their names up or contact Stephen.

Match Committee. The Penalty Area formally called hazard to the right of number five has been reinstated, (Red Pegs installed) . From the tee, there is out of bounds along the back of the carpark up to the Chemical Shed, thereafter it becomes Penalty Area finishing behind the 6th Tee.. Remember rules 13 and 14 from the 20 Must Know Rules of Golf Changes for 2019. Rule 13. Penalty areas replace water hazards, and you can move loose impediments, ground your club and take practice swings in penalty areas without penalty, just as you can on the fairway or in the rough. Rule 14. You can't take releif from a penalty area unless you are at least 95% certain your ball is in the penalty area.

Good Golfing,

Bryan Burt

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
