Dad is a golfer, but his son is getting valuable skills from the programme which may one day produce a next generation member. 


Twilight Golf;  Up an running again for another season Thursday nights from 3.30pm onwards


Results;  Greenwood Cup.  Our team went through 4 rounds last weekend unbeaten, with 3 wins against Central, Karamu, Napier and a half with Hastings. At the completion of the event we were in 4th place with 9 match points. The overall winners being Onga Onga with back to back titles. Rhys Harold went through all 7 matches over two weekends undefeated, which is a great result. A very credible placing for our young team, with the potential to go better, and one day claim the title. Thanks to the team and reserves for giving up two weekends to compete in this high level event, and to the management crew, and on course supporters/ caddies, again thank you for your efforts 


Results Ladies;  Congratulations to the ladies team for winning the Ashcott Cup against Karamu at Waipukurau on Wednesday.

Annual General Meeting;  Monday 9th December, 7.30 pm at the Club House. Full notice will be in next weeks Bush Telegraph and reprinted here for the next two weeks. Reports will be emailed to everyone who receives What's On, plus copies will be available at the Meeting.

Spring will end one day, and we will get some summer weather.  The course is in great condition with plenty of grass, so straying into the rough is not advised. Come on out and have a round, the walk and golf is great for the mind and soul.


Good Golfing👍

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 .
