Golf HB Mens Player Vaccination Status Requirement; (Email received 9/02/2022; 

The Golf Hawkes Bay & PBW board met last week. A discussion was had regarding requiring all players that wish to play in our events be vaccinated against covid-19 to play.

Below is the condition that will be added to all competitions for at least the 2022 season. From a Men’s Perspective this impacts but is not limited to:

  • Pennants
  • Coronation Cup
  • Greenwood Cup
  • Pike Cup

Player Eligibility – Covid Vaccination Status 



All players who wish compete in any Golf Hawkes Bay & Poverty Bay Women run competition, and who are older than 12 years 3 months, must be fully vaccinated as this definition applies. 


This responsibility rests with the club and team captain. If an ineligible player competes, the team’s points on the day will be removed and additional points and sanction penalties may apply. 


As the pandemic and its variants move and change, so may the definition of full vaccination. This definition as it applies to this eligibility clause may also change in real time, any changes being advised to all clubs directly as soon as a change is needed.

Over and above this requirement, it is each team’s responsibility to familiarise themselves with the process required to enter each host facility they play at, allowing time etc to complete this process.

 

Kind regards

That wraps up this weeks edition of What's On. If you are still alive in the Summer Cup, good luck for round 2. If you are playing at the week end, don't forget to carry plenty of fluids. Keeping hydrated keeps you upright.


Good Golfing,

What's On 16th June 2025?

Saturday June 14th; Wiffin Cup Round 2 matchplay. Duty, Match Bernie, House Basil A subtle reminder from our captains, that some round 1 Wiffin Cup matches are still outstanding. Please get these completed as soon as possible. Please let the person waiting to play the winner know what is happening, so they are aware. Sattrup & Brannigan; The draw is up in the club house. The weather was not that great last Saturday for first round matches, but again please keep in contact with your opponents, and get these games played before round 2 on June 28th. Given we are now in winter conditions, please use metal tracks etc where possible, especially if you are in a cart or on a bike. Skid marks take forever to grow grass in the winter, and your fellow golfers won't be happy playing off the bare dirt. Not a lot to report tonight, so I'll sign off. Good Golfing👍 Bryan Burt Club Scribe

Dannevirke South School is having a major reunion, and as such we have four groups of 4 playing nine holes at 9am. Please extend a warm welcome to our visitors. Saturday 31st / Sunday 1st June; Sisters Club Inter Club being played at Rarangi (Blenheim) We have a team of 20 heading south for this annual event, which is being played for about the 53rd time? Pine Trees; The Club has 6 plantations of pines which have been there for many years. The original intention being to plant these for harvest, and time has come for this process to begin. In the very near future, there will be felling carried out in three areas. Firstly some pines that need to come down at the back of number 11 green, by the railway, the plantation to the right of 13 (Lands End,) and a couple of pines to the left of number 13, which shade the green during winter. This work will have minimal effect on fairways, as the trees at the back of 11 will be trucked out via the farm, the lands end plantation will go out through the former Ministry of Works yard, the ones to the left of Lands end will go out along the river bank again to the MOW yard. The question of replanting, particularly the right of Lands End will be considered and proposals put to the December 2025 Annual General Meeting. All tree felling will be done early in the morning, and only trimming and log removal will carry on during the day. Please, If any area is fenced off, and No Entry signs are in place, then they are there for yours and the contractors safety. Such areas are not a recommendation, they are a rule, and any members seen entering these areas will be severely spoken too ! Another big weekend for Dannevirke mens golf. On behalf of our members, best wishes to our Coronation Cup team. Good Golfing,👍 Bryan Burt Club Scribe
