Captain Mike; Just a quick message from your club captain. We are still having a few issues with the scanner for the card machine. There seems to be a lot of people that know how to fix this but actually they don't. In future if there is an issue please contact myself, Vaughan Hales or Gus Terry. Also with Pennants this Sunday, we have 5 teams but with the Covid Virus several players are out. Therefore I am asking for any players willing to step in to help these teams out for future games . If you can, then please see the starter on Saturday or flick me an e-mail.


PLEASE if you are feeling unwell at all even if it's only a sniffle, please refrain from going to golf. We need to look out for each other.


I am myself in isolation for the next week or so but you can always contact me in the usual manner. Moving forward please continue with the club champs. You do not have to wait until the next round to play these matches. With the covid threat the more matches played the better.

Thank you everyone Mike


Gus Terry;   We now have 2 confirmed cases of covid in the seniors. Please monitor your health closely, and if you should show any symptoms please get tested immediately. Apart from that maintain the usual requirements of hand washing regularly and observe social distancing and mask wearing where appropriate. Take Care Gus  We now have 2 confirmed cases of covid in the seniors with Ian Harrowfield testing positive this afternoon. Please monitor your health closely, and if you should show any symptoms please get tested immediately.


Apart from that maintain the usual requirements of hand washing regularly and observe social distancing and mask wearing where appropriate. Take Care Gus.


Sunday 27th March; Pongaroa 27 Hole Mens' Tournament. Round 1 Ruahine Rosebowl for 2022.


April 2-3. Coronation Cup Zone play Norsewood. In Mikes absence, can someone from the match committee put a sheet up in the foyer for those wanting to be considered for selection for this team.   

                

Good luck to all members participating in matches and Tournaments over the next week. Saturday club matches, Sunday Pennants, Five Course Classic and the North Island LVA.  As has been mentioned above, if you are off colour (excluding hang overs) please do the right thing and isolate yourself and advise your Pennant Captain. There will be no medals for spreading this disease. We have had to adjust the calendar before and it can be done again !


Good Golfing

RESULTS: 1st Norsewood 2nd Cape Turnagain 3rd Pongaroa 4th Dannevirke 5th Takapau A Brief history: the Rosebowl has been taking place for 30+ years and is a meaningful tournament for local interculb golf. We appreciate there is a lot of golf at this time of the season, however, it is a shame when such days are not well supported by our members. Any thoughts or suggestions on how this event can be better attended, please reach out to Zane, Peter, or any match committee member. We do not want to see these tournaments fall off the annual calendar. Coronation Cup A team will be selected by Thursday, 2nd April. First round is in Takapau on Saturday, 11th April Twilight The end of Twilight season was postponed this week due to the weather and will be held next Thursday (weather permitting). Weather looking good for another great weekend of golf! Good luck to our Pennants teams.  Cheers, Zane CC.

" Kia ora e te whānau, our golf tournament last weekend was awesome, with 105 golfers turning up to support our school and try their luck at winning $20 000! 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
