What's On 12 October 2023

Evening all,
Saturday 14th October; (Course closed) Greenwood Cup 2023. A field of 80 players with round 1 starting at 7.30am, and the afternoon round at 12.30pm
Saturday 14th October; Inter club with Pahiatua at Pahiatua. 11am Tee off. With our course being closed, Pahiatua have decided to incorporate our interclub with a yellow tee tournament. President Tony is taking his van down, so if you are after a ride, please contact Tony on 021 267 1284
Sunday 15th October; (Course closed until 1pm) Sorry folk, but to allow the greenwood players to also watch the rugby, tee time for Sunday has been delayed until 10.30am. using tees, 1, 5, 10 and 16. Please allow the Greenwood players to get through the turn before jumping into the field. Please take directions from whoever is in the shop, as to weather you can start or not. I don't suggest you start straight after the last group goes through, as these are the number 1 and 2 players from each team, and they can only go as fast as the groups in front of them.
As has been mentioned before, the Greenwood Cup, is played between eight clubs from Golf Hawkes Bay. This weekend we are hosting round 1-3, with rounds 4-8 at HB Golf club in November. On display this weekend will be the top 80 players from our Association, doing battle in a teams match play event. If you have some spare time, come on out, and support the Dannevirke team, and watch the best of the bay players on our course. Our team in playing order, being 1, Rhys Harold, 2, Brad Truesdale, 3, Patrick Harold, 4, Craig Nash (Captain), 5, William Harold, 6, Chris Mason, 7, Greg Vigers, 8, Syd Hikawai, 9, Clay Lochead, 10, Brad Dippie . Reserves Thomas Kuggeleign and Mike Matthews. If we have a need for spotters, or helpers anywhere on the course, again, please check with whoever is behind the shop counter to see if you can assist. One job we do require, is for a handful of people to clear any stray balls from the practice area, which may finish up on the 5th fairway or rough, around 9am Saturday.
Twilight Golf; Our nine hole Thursday competition has commenced again as of today. Tee time is between 3.30 and 5.30pm. Great for a nine hole practice before your normal golf days, and to introduce new players to the sport.
Good luck to our Greenwood team, and good luck to our members heading to Pahiatua for the Inter club.
