No 10 Tee, (across the road) 

 

At Saturday’s Match Committee meeting it was resolved we consult with members about changing hole 10 from stroke hole 10 to stroke to stroke hole 8 and thus hole 18 will become stroke hole 10. The rationale being, since moving the white tee across the road and based on 3300 cards hole 10 is playing 1.21 over par and as such is the 6th hardest hole on the course. Hole 18 is playing 1.10 over par and is the 10th hardest hole on the course. Prior to the change, when the white tee was in front of the office and based on statistics from over 10,000 cards, hole 10 played 1.07 over par and was the 12th hardest hole on the course, at the same time hole 18 played 1.08 over par and was the 11th hardest hole on the course. Although hole 10 is the 6th hardest hole, the 3 hardest holes on the course are 11, 12 and 16, therefore stroke hole 8 is the lowest number available. The Match Committee would appreciate feedback on the proposal.

 

Ladies v Men NZGA Ruling; 

 

The information I gave at the Match Committee meeting on Saturday was incorrect. This is the advice I received from NZ Golf (WHS World Handicap System)

 

Addition of strokes is different under WHS whereby before WHS, in a Nett competition, any strokes were given to the players who played from the more difficult course calculated in the difference in course ratings, under WHS any additional strokes are given to the players who play the course with the higher par.

Therefore, as the men’s par is 71 and the women’s par is 73, any women playing in the field will add two additional strokes to their Playing Handicaps.

The men and women will each use their own scorecards and relevant stroke holes and compare their nett scores. A nett 4 beats a nett 5, regardless of the par of the hole. On the two holes that are par 5s for the women and 4s for the men, the women may feel disadvantaged, but that is why they receive the extra two strokes.

In a stableford competition no additional shots are given.

What's On 16th June 2025?

Saturday June 14th; Wiffin Cup Round 2 matchplay. Duty, Match Bernie, House Basil A subtle reminder from our captains, that some round 1 Wiffin Cup matches are still outstanding. Please get these completed as soon as possible. Please let the person waiting to play the winner know what is happening, so they are aware. Sattrup & Brannigan; The draw is up in the club house. The weather was not that great last Saturday for first round matches, but again please keep in contact with your opponents, and get these games played before round 2 on June 28th. Given we are now in winter conditions, please use metal tracks etc where possible, especially if you are in a cart or on a bike. Skid marks take forever to grow grass in the winter, and your fellow golfers won't be happy playing off the bare dirt. Not a lot to report tonight, so I'll sign off. Good Golfing👍 Bryan Burt Club Scribe

Dannevirke South School is having a major reunion, and as such we have four groups of 4 playing nine holes at 9am. Please extend a warm welcome to our visitors. Saturday 31st / Sunday 1st June; Sisters Club Inter Club being played at Rarangi (Blenheim) We have a team of 20 heading south for this annual event, which is being played for about the 53rd time? Pine Trees; The Club has 6 plantations of pines which have been there for many years. The original intention being to plant these for harvest, and time has come for this process to begin. In the very near future, there will be felling carried out in three areas. Firstly some pines that need to come down at the back of number 11 green, by the railway, the plantation to the right of 13 (Lands End,) and a couple of pines to the left of number 13, which shade the green during winter. This work will have minimal effect on fairways, as the trees at the back of 11 will be trucked out via the farm, the lands end plantation will go out through the former Ministry of Works yard, the ones to the left of Lands end will go out along the river bank again to the MOW yard. The question of replanting, particularly the right of Lands End will be considered and proposals put to the December 2025 Annual General Meeting. All tree felling will be done early in the morning, and only trimming and log removal will carry on during the day. Please, If any area is fenced off, and No Entry signs are in place, then they are there for yours and the contractors safety. Such areas are not a recommendation, they are a rule, and any members seen entering these areas will be severely spoken too ! Another big weekend for Dannevirke mens golf. On behalf of our members, best wishes to our Coronation Cup team. Good Golfing,👍 Bryan Burt Club Scribe
