Report; Management Committee Meeting Wednesday 20th July:


We currently have three funding applications in with the various charities


Thanks to Captain Mike, Bung Lilo, and President Tony for all the work removing the tree on number 6, and cleaning up number 3, while Kierane and AG were off with Covid.

 

Tony also wanted to acknowledge the offers of assistance received during the above week. If you helped in any way then a big thank you


Thanks Peter Drummond (Drum) for the repair work on our older carts. Replacing bushes, updating key tumblers and fitting the new batteries


Left of number 2 green; Peter Greatbatch has moved some of the mulch between the existing trees. If anyone wants to head down there with a barrow and rake, all the mulch needs to be spread out back toward the mound. Ladies Captain Glenys will look into natives to be planted between the existing shrubs and the mound.


House; The house on Tamaki River Road, is now empty, and our thanks to Peter Greatbatch for all his work, getting this closer to go to market. The toilet, vanity etc have been replaced, a couple of new doors hung, plus other maintenance work. Next will be clearing the section of various rubbish items. Any member with the time and willingness are welcome to get a key from President Tony or Peter, to do a thorough clean of the house. You may need to take an old jug with you as the hot water is off at present, but the power is on, switched off at the mains


The tree on number 12; Thank you for the two emails received, plus the various comments, either positive or negative. The greens committee and staff with discuss this at their next meeting.


It's been a long time since we have had a wet and cooler winter like this one. Rainfall recorded in George Street is 800mm year to date. Last year at the end of November we were at 745mm, so yes it has been wet. Our course seems to be holding up under the circumstances. Please be considerate where you take trundlers and carts, to keep lush grass areas to play off rather than warn mud areas.


Have a great week end, Here's hoping that includes a round of golf.


Good Golfing

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.

(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
