Bryan Burt - Club Scribe • February 2, 2023

Thanks Mike for the last few weeks updates. I've had a break so back into it.


Saturday 4th February; Summer cup Round 1 Matchplay, the full draw is attached,


Match Committee; Captain Mike requests a Meeting at 10.15am Saturday


Monday 6th February;  NZMCA motor homes tournament round 3. Tee off 10.30am. Club members, Captain Mike will be manning the shop on and off during the day, please check in at the office before teeing off . Members with some free time Monday, Mike could do with some help during the day with bar, kitchen, starting and results. Let him know over the week end if you can help, and he will give you a time and job.


Postponement; Unfortunately the Clubs NZ Womens North Island Golf Tournament due to be held next week in Whangamata has been postponed, (Pretty obvious when we saw their course on One News last week). Clubs NZ have postponed until 2024 in Whangamata, so our bid to host this tournament will go forward then for 2025.


From Stephen Paewai;


Sisters Club

 

This year’s tournament is being hosted by the Weedons Golf Club and will be the first time it’s been held on the King’s Birthday!! that is the 3rd and 4th of June. Those interested in attending there will be a meeting at the Merrylees Hotel Wednesday 8th February at 7.00pm, if you would like to participate but can’t get to the meeting please let me know. Everyone arranges their own travel, return tickets are available currently at approx $220.00 return. The accommodation and travel will be organised by the committee. In 2024 we will be hosting the tournament so it’d be great to get good numbers for this year.

 

Marae tournament

 

This year’s tournament will be held on Saturday 25 February, there’s a notice in the foyer if you are interested in playing can you please put your names on the sheet.

 

Regards Stephen.


Management Committee; President Tony called a January Meeting, to minute a few matters

 

Farm House; An update from the AGM. Several offers were put forward. A sub Committee reviewed these and made a decision. The house was settled on Wednesday 1st February.

Subscriptions, Secretary Miranda asks that members please update theeir payments following the subscription increase voted in at the AGM. Weekly is now $11 and monthly $47.70

Earth Quake Assessment;  VP Peter Greatbatch was on site when the assessor had a look at the clubhouse. As yet we don't have the report, so no update is available at this stage

Grants; A Pub Charity grant has come through to replace the carpet upstairs


Course Etiquette; As members we should all be very proud of our course. If you see someone doing something wrong, please politely let them know what they were doing and the remedy.



A few notes here for errors seen in the past few weeks. If you are taking bottles on the course (mainly beers bottles) please do not throw the tops on the ground. WHY. Our mower blades a finely tuned and bottle tops going through them wrecks them. Carts; Only 2 passengers per cart please, maybe 3 if there are small children, ( not 5 adults as seen last Sunday) . I'm sure all your employers have health and safety rules, and unfortunately the Golf Club is no different. If someone gets harmed doing something stupid with a cart, the committee and President Tony will be held responsible. Not something Tony wants, and I know you will be ill advised to get in his bad books. Thirdly carts and trundlers; Carts should never be driven over tee grounds (no exception) Carts and trundlers should be kept to the side of tees, and when approaching the green, if your ball is not between the bunker and the green then please walk around the bunker. If we all take the shortest path, the area gets worn, which looks untidy, and it makes if difficult to play form those worn areas.


The weather looks good, the course is stunning, so enjoy your Waitangi week end and make plenty of use of our course.


Good Golfing

Saturday 25th October; Club day draw 11.15 am, Tee off 11.30 am. Duty, Richie, House, Angela. 2026 Barry Illsley Sponsored 72 Hole Matchplay Open Tournament. Preliminary work is underway for this tournament. Dates yet to be confirmed, but it looks like the Wellington Anniversary Weekend in January, starting on Friday, and concluding on Sunday. Presidents Cup Final: t o be contested between Timmy Bell and Denzil Treacy Junior. Sattrup & Brannigan, 2025 winners Mark Rosocaker & Chappy Maniapoto. Congratulations guys. Ladies Shoot Out; Completed today with Margaret Treacy winning from Margaret Stephenson. Another great day from all accounts. On Course Tee Signs: A big shout-out to our tee sponsors for their continued support of our Club. With business changes, we have 5 tee signs available for advertising your business. If any member wishes to take up one of these signs, please contact our Secretary Bailey Harold at dannevirkegolf@xtra.co.nz. Annual General Meeting; Monday 8th December. Another call please, for members to consider putting themselves forward for nomination to the various committees. Our thanks to Bailey for her work to date on the new constitution. Every Club in NZ has to update their Constitution before the end of April 2026, so we can continue to apply for Charity funding etc. Golf NZ produced a template, and we are just adding the final touches for our Club. This will need to be adopted at the AGM. At this point, we have not had any major damage on our course with the wind, but today is going to be another windy one. Fingers crossed, we get through unscathed, and the wind settles for a fine weekend with ample opportunity to play some golf. Best wishes to all who are traveling this weekend for tournaments or other golfing adventures. Travel safely and play well. Good Golfing👍 Bryan Burt Club Scribe

Greenwood Cup Rounds 1-3; Conditions at Waipukurau Golf Club were very pleasant for two rounds of golf Saturday and one Sunday. The rough at Waipukurau has for years has been dense clover and still is, which can be deceiving, as the ball looks ok, but the clover can be difficult to hit from. Saturday morning the team played Karamu having a 7 to 3 win, followed in the afternoon with an 8.5 to 1.5 win against Central Hawkes Bay. Sunday morning we came up against the first of the city Clubs Napier, and were defeated 7 to 3. Two matches concluded with draws on the 18th, and 3 finished on the 17th, so it wasn't all bad. The current standings are Hastings first on 6 points with 27.5 games, Onga Onga second also on 6 points and 23 games, Napier third with 4 points and 20 games, with Dannevirke fourth on 4 points and 18.5 games. Looking forward to the final four rounds at Hastings Golf Club on November 15th & 16th . Annual General Meeting; Monday 8th December at 7.30pm. A reminder to Committee chairman and others to have your reports to Gail by next weekend (Labour Weekend) for the Annual Report. With daylight saving now in progress, encourage any friends or relatives that are keen to maybe consider a Summer Subscription. (Runs the duration of daylight saving) For membership forms see Patrick at Harold Golf Shop, or email Bailey at dannevirkegolf@xtra.co.nz . If your game is off colour at present, again see Patrick for a lesson. Good Golfing👍 Bryan Burt Club Scribe
