Saturday 5th July; Card draw 11.30 am . Please continue with Wiffin Cup and Sattrup & Brannigan matches. Duty Mike Matthews and house Angela Sunday 6th July; Porangahau 27-hole strokeplay tournament. Please contact the Porangahau club directly if you wish to play in this event. Saturday 2nd August; SHB 27 Hole Strokeplay Tournament. We have an entry form for this tournament in the foyer. A draw will be done on Thursday, 31st July and put onto a What's On Special Friday 1st August. We also ask that members please bring a plate for an evening shared meal. We receive great hospitality from our country clubs when we visit their tournaments, and this is our chance to reciprocate their hospitality. While the weather may clear tomorrow, the course is going to be very wet after all the rain today. The greens committee and staff have the right to make a couple of calls in this situation. 1; Course closed, or 2; No Carts. This decision is not made lightly, but please understand the reasoning. Such decisions are applicable to all members. Any notification of course closure/restrictions will come through this channel as well as the Club Facebook page. Have a good weekend.

Evening all, Saturday, June 28th; Sattrup & Brannigan Round 2 4bbb. 11.30 am Card draw Duty Match Joe Clark, House Stephen Paewai. By now, all first-round Sattrup & Brannigan matches should be completed. If not, and you are still to play round 1, please inform those waiting for round 2. Captains will cancel any unplayed matches if no communication is forthcoming. Sunday, July 6th, Porongahau 27-hole Stroke Play tournament. Although not part of the Ruahine Rosebowl series, I am sure they will welcome players from Dannevirke. I would suggest contacting them sometime this week, as you may not get in the field if you just turn up next Sunday. Carts: The Club has recently purchased two new carts for our fleet. The Management Committee now have two of the older carts available for Tender. Please email Bailey Harold at dannevirkegolf@xtra.co.nz before Wednesday, 16th July, with your tender price and the particular cart you are tendering for. The Management committee meet on Wednesday 16th and will notify the successful tender. If a cart is sold to a local member, storage and recharging facilities may be available in our cart shed, with an annual fee to cover costs. Insurance would be at the owner's expense. As mentioned above, with two new carts coming on board, we are gradually replacing and increasing the number of carts on our course. Our originals were purchased approximately 25 years ago.. A reminder to Club members, please, these carts are an asset belonging to your Golf Club. They assist in bringing more green fee players to our course, as well as group bookings, plus use by local members. If you see any carts being driven dangerously on our course, please call out the said driver there and then if possible, alternatively notify Patrick in the Pro Shop. Like any machinery, they are there to be used, not abused. With School holidays commencing tomorrow, there is an opportunity over the next two weeks to bring younger family members out to the course and give them a try at Golf. Remember Patrick is available for lessons, to encourage the next generation of golfers, as well as attempting to fix the bad habits of current golfers. Good Golfing👍 Bryan Burt Club Scribe
