What's on 17/6/2021

Bryan Burt - Club scribe • June 17, 2021

Welcome to this weeks edition of What's On . For the new members who have been added to the email list tonight, welcome. What's on is an email to Dannevirke Golf Club members letting them know what's coming up at the club, and will from time to time have articles about events that are either happening or have happened. Enjoy.


Saturday  19th June Card draw 11am. (Again to our new members this means arrive between 10.30 and 10.45, fill your details out on a score card and hand it in at the office. At 11am the starter will call groups of four to the different starting tees, and away you go. Saturday is Men's club day plus Saturday ladies.) Members involved in Sattrup & Brannigan , and Wiffin Cup competitions, please keep your matches up to date 


Sunday 20th June. Waipawa Golf Club 27 Hole Strokeplay Tournament. 8.30am Tee Off. All day gross & net competition. Entry fee $35 includes lunch. Enquiries please contact justin.waipawagolfclub@gmail.com

Club house; The Club house was left in a bit of a mess last weekend and I take some responsibility as I locked up on Sunday. But could I please ask if there is anything on the floor or left on tables please pick it up or remove it as it makes it so much easier for those that clean the facility, this would be greatly appreciated.


Sisters Club; Great tournament, similar result! Numbers were well up on previous years including our own team. Next year is the 50th playing of the event in Patea and numbers are expected to be high as Greymouth is being invited and those that haven’t participated for a while are expected to play. There is limited accommodation in south Taranaki so we need some indication and a commitment early on to secure places. Also a special shirt is being printed and will be part of the entry fee, again an early indication of numbers is important for the organisers. So please contact me if you would like to go to Patea next Queens Birthday weekend. Thanks Stephen


Coronation Cup; The Finals of the Coronation Cup for 2021 was played last weekend 12th & 13th June at Napier Golf Club. It was contested by defending Champions Pongaroa, Wairoa, Maraenui & Takapau all seeking to get their name on the trophy for 2021.

A special thanks to the team at Napier Golf Club being able to host as it was extremely busy with little to no tee times available during the weekend!

With the teams playing 36 holes on Saturday and 18 on Sunday the teams looked to get off to a good a start on Saturday as possible with the overall results never known until late into the Sunday round.

 

At the end of play on Saturday Wairoa were the front runner’s going in to Sunday just ahead of Maraenui. After a slight delay on Sunday due to fog the teams were back out for the last 18 holes.

Wairoa continued their form on Sunday with Maraenui close behind.

When all the results had been calculated Wairoa came away with 3 wins from 3 to win the Coronation Cup for 2021. Maraenui were a close 2nd with 2 wins from 3.

 

Results were:

 

1st: Wairoa – 6pts – 23 Games

2nd: Maraenui – 4pts – 22 Games

3rd: Pongaroa – 2pts – 17.5 Games

4th: Takapau – 0pts – 9.5 Games

Congratulations to Wairoa!

Thank you to all the players and teams that played this year it was great to see all the teams play after last years event saw some teams unable to play.

Secretary Miranda; Can you make a mention that those members who are paying their subs by weekly instalment of $10.00 might like to increase this to the new minimum payment of $10.50. to avoid being in arrears at the end of the Sub year.


Working Bee; Saturday 17th July 8am. Assistance is required by able bodied members to remove all the iron from the old woolshed on our property on Tamaki River Road, so this can then be demolished by digger. Obviously health and safety is necessary, so if you feel you can assist, please before golf on the 17th is the day.

Good golfing to you all,

What's On 12 December 2025?

By Bryan Burt - club scribe • December 12, 2025
Saturday 13th December; Shires Fruit & Vege market sponsored Christmas Cheer. 12 noon Shotgun Start. A draw will be posted on our Facebook page on Friday. As we already have 120 in the field and tees allocated, no further entries will be accepted. Please present early at the office to pay your entry fee of $30 and be at your starting tee ready to go at 12 noon. House Committee; Duty Tony Neilson Bar roster 4 pm Tony, Baz and Scott, 4.45 pm Gillian, Angela and Norm, 5.30 pm Tony and Drum, 6.15 pm Stephen and Depak We’re expecting a full field on Saturday, and committee members will be playing and would like to enjoy the evening with their fellow members so we would like your assistance, please. Ask if you can help, for example, if you are heading downstairs,s take a box of empties and put in the recycling, ask if the chiller needs restocking, pick up empty bottles. These little things would be really appreciated, and we can all enjoy the occasion. With large numbers, we quickly run out of $2 coins, so if you have a pocket full of coins, go to the bar and exchange them for notes. Ma pango ma whero ka oti ai te mahi – many hands make light work! Thanks, Stephen. Annual General Meeting; Last Monday saw a muster of around 40 members attend our AGM. A sign of the times, perhaps, but members don't appear to see the significance of this once-a-year meeting. Decisions are made that carry the Club forward and report on the previous year. The committee nominations all went through, and Bernie Williams has been nominated as a Vice President, following Vaughan Hales' resignation earlier in the year. An increase in Subscriptions was approved, and I will report next week for those paying monthly, fortnightly, and weekly, what changes need to be made to keep you up to date. Carts: The last two of our replacement carts arrived on course today. That gives us a fleet now of 8 new and one older cart. These carts are part of our business growth strategy, as a great deal of visiting green fee players request carts at the same time as they book to play, especially group bookings. This forms part of the package we can offer travelling players. Secondly, for various reasons, younger members who have joined clubs since Covid prefer to play in carts. Greenfees & carts this year brought 87k into our club, compared to 62k the previous year. Having Patrick (Harold Golf) on course potentially captures more green fees and cart hire. Cart for Sale; We have one of our original carts for Sale at $500. Batteries may need replacing. Call Captain Zane or ask Patrick for an inspection when he is on course. Next week's What's On will be the last for the year. Looking forward to Christmas Cheer! Good Golfing'👍 Bryan Burt Club Scribe

What's On 4 December 2025?

By Bryan Burt - club scribe • December 4, 2025
Saturday 6th December; Club day 11.30 am. Card draw at 11.15 am, Match committee on duty, House committee, anyone available?, as your roster expired on 29th November. Monday 8th December; Annual General Meeting; 7.30 pm at the Clubhouse. The booklet was emailed to you all by Bailey last Monday evening. Saturday 13th December; Shires Fruit & Vege Market sponsored Christmas Cheer Tournament. Our biggest event of the year. If you haven't done so already, please enter your fours on the Entry sheet in the foyer, so a draw can be produced and sent out next Thursday night. Sorry folks, all of our carts have been booked, so no more carts are available. Result : Interclub with Feilding Golf Club last Saturday. For the 7th year in a row, Feilding were the winners on the day. Thank you to the 19 players from Dannevirke who participated. Congratulations to Jacob Stephenson, 75 off the stick and 45 stablefords. Even Jacobs score couldn't lift our average! The rain over the past two days has possibly taken the sting out of the ground, so we may miss the run for a couple of days. Never mind it will be back. Have a great weekend, and see you all on Monday at the AGM. Bryan Burt Club Scribe

What's On 28 November 2025?

By Bryan Burt - club scribe • November 27, 2025
Saturday 29th November; Feilding interclub at Feilding. 11.30 am tee off. Tony Peeti & Eru Hauiti are both taking vans, so there may be rides available. Contact these gentlemen directly, please. Tony's van leaves the golf club at 9.50 am. Saturday 29th November; Club day, 11.30 am card draw. Duty Richie House Basil Sunday 30th November; Pongaroa are hosting their Prize Giving and Christmas Cheer Tournament. I believe it is a 12 noon start for anyone interested in attending Saturday 13th December : Shires Fruit & Vege Market sponsored Christmas Cheer. 12 noon shotgun start, entry sheet in the foyer at the Clubhouse. All carts are booked. Once again, our haggle hole (no. 14) will be manned by the formidable team of Glen McClelland & Marcus Ransom. This team of two has given up their time for the past 7 or 8 years to man the haggle hole and donate their proceeds to worthy causes around our community or club. Thanks also to the ham sponsors for the haggle hole. Originally, Vet Services and PGG Wrightson. Vet Services have continued, and I took over the PGG Wrightson sponsorship some years ago. Maybe a bit damp tomorrow, but the forecast for the weekend is good. We are bearing down on 100 years of inter-club fixtures with Feilding (next couple of years I believe). Maybe we can turn the clock back 100 years and go to Feilding by train or horseback and stay for a week!, Watch this space. Happy 40th for yesterday Captain Zane. Good Golfing👍 Bryan Burt Club Scribe
