Summer Cup;  Draw for the match play rounds will be published next Thursday.  Draw will be in the shop from Friday 17th January (no problem if you wish to play matches this weekend)

Barry Illsley Sponsored 72 hole Match Play 27th / 28th February 1st March,  There are entry forms in the shop for those unable to enter online. An event like this cannot be planned if members wait until the last minute to enter. If you intend playing, please get your entry in ASAP.


Club House / Prize Givings;  Can the duty persons please consider using the bell at the bar to get members attention that you are starting the prize giving. Likewise can members show some respect and finish what they are saying quickly so everyone present can hear what is being said. It is a major misconception that the loader you speak (yell) the more people will hear. Wrong. For members with hearing issues load voices can sound like a stag roaring. A tidy up in this area by all members will make the presentations short, sharp, too the point and heard by all. Thank you


The rain over the Christmas period has sparked our course into growth again. Enjoy it while we have these great conditions.


Good Golfin👍g

The centre panel is a full 15cm advertisement, and panel three remains with the course layout and local rules. Anyone willing to discuss advertising or sponsorship options, please email our Secretary Bailey at dannevirkegolf@xtra.co.nz, in the first instance. A warm welcome to new members who have joined our Club and been added to What's On over the past few weeks. If you are receiving this email, and no longer wish to be on the email list, please flick me a return email and I will delete your details. What's On is also posted on our Facebook page by mid morning every Friday. Here's hoping we get a good day Saturday so we can get plenty of matches played. Good Golfing👍 Bryan Burt Club Scribe
