Twilight: Due to Farmlands Golf on this Friday and with getting dark fast, (TP, Chalky, and Baz) have decided that Twilight has come to an end for this year. Next season, we will be returning to Thursday nights

Fridays have been ok, but we feel Thursdays are better. Thanks to the starters and results person, barstaff and Emily Mott for her BBQ cooking. Another successful twilight season. See you next summer


Lounge: You may notice a few grey chairs starting to appear upstairs. Thanks to Kevin Jameson who has offered and is recovering them for us. The Club purchased the cloth, and Kevin is taking a few home at the time to recover them.


4 Course Classic: The annual seniors tournament kicks off at Dannevirke on Monday 25th, so there will be plenty of camper vans around the car park over the weekend. Good luck to our members involved in this event.


Coring: Tuesday March 26th Please be aware the course is closed on Tuesday until further notice, while coring is completed. Brian & Kieran, will have signage out advising the course is closed, and we request members respect their instructions. It is normal for the Course to reopen Friday, but I will leave it to either staff or the greens committee to advise me if they open early, whereby I will send a What's On Special advising as such.

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
