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,
