Twilight Golf;  Thursday 28th March will see twilight golf conclude for the 2024 season. A BBQ will follow golf. Tee off no later than 5.30pm please


Coronation Cup;  With the new zones in place, we will be hosting on the weekend of Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th April. The zone clubs for the next 4 years are Dannevirke, Cape Turnagain, Takapau, and Porangahau.  Team to be anounced this weekend, and in next weeks W.O. One change in format is that we will play two rounds Saturday and one Sunday. Reason being, if the weather turns bad Saturday, we have the option of playing 27 holes, then completing the second round Sunday morning before the third round. Not necessarily ideal, but an option all the same. 


DANNEVIRKE HIGH SCHOOL AMBROSE GOLF TOURNAMENT, 2024

This year we had 41 teams (123 players) participating in our annual fundraiser golf tournament. The hole-in-one for $20,000 was not struct. Hopefully someone is lucky next year. This helped us raise about $4500.00 on the day apart from the donations from the sponsors.


A special thanks to all the sponsors who sponsored a hole, gave us prizes and contributed in one way or the other to make this a success. A big thanks to Scanpower Limited for being the main sponsor and Dannevirke Golf Club for letting us use the golf course free of charge. Thanks, Mike Matthews, for helping on the day.


I would like to thank all those people who played in this tournament and all the teachers and students/prefects who helped to make this tournament a huge success.

(Amrit Prasad – teacher in-charge for golf)


Membership cards and bag tags,   Miranda will be in the shop Saturday between 10am and 12 noon to distribute membership envelopes. Anyone wanting to pay their sub while Miranda is on site, are welcome to do so.


Club is not a bank;  If possible can members please arrive at the Golf Club with cash for the competition. It has become very time consuming processing cash outs and eftpos payments for shop sales etc while trying to sort the groups for the day. For obvious reasons we don't hold much cash, so getting it from town before arrival will assist the Match Committee starters. 


Another weekend with members spread far and wide to compete in competition golf, either at Pennants or the Pongaora Strokeplay Tournament. Good luck to you all, and travel safely.
