What's On 10 March 2023
Saturday 11th March; Club Championships Round 1 match play. 11.30am. Please notify the office of matches being played. (the draw from Stephen is included below)
I’ve been tasked with doing the draw for the Club Championships, no easy feat, so if I’ve missed people or put people in please ring me 0211658685 to make the necessary changes. Do not make the changes yourself and do not ask anyone else to change the draw. There are fields of 27 in the Intermediate A and B which effectively creates another round, so the round of 16 needs to be completed by Easter. Round 1 of the Club Championships is to start this Saturday so if you can’t play get agreement from your opponent and let me know please. I’ve already granted some pairs dispensation.

Greens Staff Message; Kierane and AG are concerned at the state our Par 3 tees are being left in. Taking the biggest divot is not a golf competition. Where possible the majority of members should be using a tee on a par three tees. If you do take a large divot please replace it in the hole made, as the roots may still grow in the bare soil. If you only make a slight scar, please get some sand from the sand bucket, and level the scar with sand. If you see an unrepaired divots, please assist our staff by repairing them, to keep our tees looking and playing well for everyone.
Week end firewood. Kierane is inviting members to come out Saturday or Sunday and collect firewood from the back of the car park, and on the other side of the trees on the practice fairway. (Hedge trimmer has been in ) Please follow all health and safety procedures with your chainsaws etc,. The reason for asking you to do this work over the weekend, is to save Kierane having to go through the Health & Safety procedures with you because he is on the course. If he is on the course, he becomes the person responsible, if he isn't there, you are responsible for your own safety.
Clubhouse; Please see attached a letter 'Majken' pieced together regarding the state of our clubhouse on occasions
Dannevirke Golf Club – Cleaner Update & Request; Good evening Golf Club members 😊
I would firstly like to thank all of those members that have taken the time to thank me personally or through other avenues with regard to the cleanliness of the Club rooms and other associated areas on the Club such as the toilet and shower blocks – I appreciate your feedback.
However, I would like to take this opportunity to point out a number of instances where my work and ability to fully service the club amenities have come under pressure based on the amount of time allocated for my services. Under normal circumstances I am able to provide a quality service to which the Club can be proud of, and that visiting golfers or campers can be happy with (and of course spread the word to others).
These instances have become more frequent recently and revolve around not just the men’s but also the women’s toilets & shower facilities as well as general rubbish within the club house. I would like to point out that although my job title is of the club house cleaner, I am certainly not a maid or anyone’s mother. When we have instances of people throwing up & faecal matter on & around the toilets without any effort to clean up after themselves, this detracts from my ability to operate within my cleaning hours, and not to mention I should not need to clean other’s bodily fluids off the toilets or floors. I would also like to point out that there are many rubbish bins provided for members to utilise & I should not need to pick up rubbish off floors (in some instances right beside rubbish bins).
We are all looking to achieve the same outcome – a nice, clean & tidy environment for our members to be proud of and to ensure any visitors to the club go away with found memories and the ability to tell others of what a great club we have.
Please ensure you clean up after yourself, be proud of our Clubhouse and what we have to offer, especially during this time where our ability to host neighbouring golf club members that are unable to play their own course due to the recent weather events.
Again, thank to those who have taken the time to show their appreciation as well as help look after our club house & amenities when I am not there to do so.
Kind regards, Majken
We have club members playing in several events from tomorrow onward. Summer Cup Semi finals, Championships, Five course classic, and The North Island LVA at Lansdown Masterton. Good luck to all involved.
