Greens Staff.  A message from Kierane. Can members please stay clear of the areas where new turf has been laid on numbers 4 and 15. Walking over these areas is not going to help with establishment!


Score Card Sponsor; After many years as our card sponsor, Aon Insurance Brokers wish to discontinue. We produce a three panel card. The front panel of 15cm has a club house photo and club details, with a 4cm advertisement at the bottom. 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👍

Unfortunately, no one was able to ‘sink a hole in one’ and win the money. A big thank you to Mr Amrit Pasad and all the staff and students who helped to make this event a success. 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." Special General Meeting; Thank you to the 55 members who turned out Monday night for the purpose of " Setting the annual member subscription fees for the 2026 / 2027 year.
