Saturday 14th May; Card draw 11am.  Championship matches please. The finals for both men and ladies is Saturday 28th, and Captain Mike is determined this is happening, so don't let yourself get disqualified. Any issues, please contact Captain Mike.


Wiffin Cup; Captain Mike is preparing the draw at present. He may send it our tonight on a separate email, otherwise it will be up at the clubhouse tomorrow. Obviously

Coronation Cup will take plenty out, but if you and you opponent are there on Saturday, by all means play your match. 


Seniors;    Just a reminder that our next club day is at Waipawa on Tuesday 17 May. Cup of tea available from 9.30am with Tee off at 10.30am Very welcome rain this week should ensure the course will be in great order for some good scores??? Look forward to seeing you all there. Regards Gavin


Sisters Club,  50th Tournament at Patea 4th and 5th June. We currently have 23 players and 2 non players booked in. Any member wanting information on this tournament, please contact Stephen Paewai. 


Last Sunday; Thanks to the 11 members who went to Herbertville for the Cape Turnagain 27 hole tournament. As is often the case, Norm Evans selected a very fine team of four to contend the 2nd round of the Ruahine Rosebowl, and these players were outplayed by the non selected players. In the spirit of the game Bill Newland (Life Member of Pongaroa) assisted that club to form a team, as they had a group in the South Island, that had 3 members struck down with Covid. Pongaroa ended the day with 5 points, Cape Turnagain 4, Takapau 3 Dannevirke 2. Shaun Hulena,(Takapau) took out the Senior gross, which was a pleasure to see for two reasons. One his obvious ability, and two the fact that he continued the Hulena tradition of attending Ruahine Rosebowl Tournaments, something his late father Geoff did for many years, bringing Shaun along from a young age.


Once again, best wishes to the Coronation Cup team, and keep those matches flowing.


Good Golfing

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).

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."
