This week at the Dannevirke Golf Club

Bryan Burt - Club Captain • Nov 08, 2018

Evening all,
After last week end, i beleive, its best to ignore weather forecasts leading into tournaments. Last saturday & Sunday were to produce gale force winds and torrential rain, so Friday Megan Seatter and I devised Plan B for the St Joseph's School Ambrose Tournament. Satuday 8am we decided the easiest plan was to proceed, and proceed we did. Wind yes, rain, not a drop, so the 20 teams 60 players enjoyed a social day of 3 ball Ambrose. They were well hosted by the School staff and parents. Thanks again St Joesph's School
Saturday night I was thinking we won't be playing tomorrow, but again wind yes, rain no. Thirteen pairs contested the MCI sponsored SHB 36 Hole Mixed Foursomes. This is not a large field, but those who participate enjoy their day. Gross winners being Margaret Stephenson and George Freeman, Nett Joy Charmley and myself, Stb Wendy & Brendan Poole. Thanks to ian McKenzie for coming up from Masterton and partnering Rosie Quick, as well as flying the flag for MCI. Our thanks to MCI & Associates for their continued sponsorship for this event. Thanks also to the members who assisted Robbie Benson, who had a hip malfunction while putting his shoes on in the car park. Not sure that a trip over the Saddle in an ambulance would be that comfortable. Hope all is well.
Saturday 10th November: Feilding Inter Club hosted by Dannevirke Golf Club. A text from their Captain tells me they have 21 players coming, including 5 ladies. Morning tee from 10.30, card draw from 11.30am. Anyone offering to do a batch of scones?
Saturday 17th Sunday 18th November, Greenwood cup Rds 4-7 at Napier Golf Club. We know that Saturday we play Hastings and Maraenui, Sunday Omga Onga and Karamu, but the exact order is as yet unknown. More information next week
Travelling Golfers. Best wishes to the group of 12 heading south early tomorrow, to play 3 round around Queenstown over the weekend, Next week Rod Henricksen, Doug Stewart and I head to Wanganui for the North Island Chartered Clubs annual Tournament, with rounds at Belmont and Castlecliff.
Monday 19th November Annual General Meeting. Clubhouse 7pm. Discussions over the past few days would suggest we have a President, Club Captain and one, and possibly two Vice Presidents.
Look out for What's On Wednesday next week, as I'm unavailable Thursday
Good Golfing

Club Captain (10 more sleeps !)

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
Good Golfing,
Merry Christmas,
Bryan Burt
