What's On 23 February 2024?

Bryan Burt Club Scribe • February 22, 2024

Saturday 24th February;  Card draw 11.30am Three tee start this week, as there is a wedding behind number 9 at 3.30pm, so we won't use number 10 as a starting hole. Start only on 1,5 and 16. The front nine will close at 1pm please. Match Committee duty, Joe and Stephen


Downstairs Bar;  Saturdays prize giving will be in the Downstairs bar, as the wedding is upstairs. It is Rainier & Marks wedding Saturday, with several members involved. Our best wishes to the happy couple. 


Sunday 25th February, Golf HB Pennants Round 1. We have four teams playing this year, with Championship 1 at home (11.30am tee off. No 1 tee is booked for 6 start times, number 10 for 3 start times. Pennants has right of way) Championship 3 are away at Hastings GC, Handicap 2 at Hawkes Bay, and Handicap 4 at Onga Onga.


Monday 26th February;  President Peter and his staff will be pouring the concrete at the entrance way. For safety reasons the entrance will be closed between 10am and 2pm. If you want to play golf, thats ok, but you need to be through the entrance before 10am, and cannot come out until 2pm. There will be concrete trucks and a pump on site, so please keep clear.


Marae Golf Tournament;    A very good day on Saturday with a field of 80 players. The Dave Barber Memorial Cup was won by Johnny Edwards who shot an 83, not bad for someone turning 86 next month. He was a hugely popular winner. The Marae trophy was won by the Makirikiri team of Johnny Edwards, Rhea Hazners, Jamie Hazners, Tony Peeti, Chappy Maniapoto and Stephen Paewai.


I’d just like to acknowledge the Dannevirke Golf Club, the Greens staff, our hosts from Whiti Te Ra Marae and all the Club members who supported the tournament.

Over $3,000.00 was raised for the Whiti Te Ra Marae.

Subscriptions; (From Miranda)   Annual Subs will be charged out on 1 March. Might be a good time for everyone that pays by installment to update the amount they are paying:

weekly payment is now $12.00

fortnightly payment $24.00

monthly payment $52.00


There are still some members paying $10.00 per week - this amount is two years out of date. Can members please check to make sure that we have a current email or postal address on file. A member list with address and email details will be available in the shop from Wednesday 21 Feb – please make any changes on this list and I will amended the records in Club Manager. Thanks Miranda


Club Shop;  We ask members please to purchase drinks and food required during their round of golf before they tee off. The shop will be locked when unmanned, for security reasons.


Trundler Shed; A further reminder to members who use the trundler shed. The code pad opens the shed, but when leaving the lock button needs to be pushed, otherwise the lock is still on open, and the door can just be used without the code. Again for security reasons. 


Championships; A final reminder, draws will be done next week for our matchplay to commence on Saturday 2nd March. If you don't wish to be included in the all in for Intermediate and Junior grades, please contact Captain Mike urgently. on  mikematthews058@gmail.com The Open Championship qualifying rounds have concluded, and the seeding has been finalized.


Farm and Drive way;  Our thanks to farm Committee member Roger Ransom (and helpers) for organising and executing the removal of water from under and beside the driveway. The water will now head to the large open drain under the fence on the eastern side. An open drain goes through the paddock on the right as you come in the drive, which will be fenced to keep stock out. Two lines of novaflo have extended into the paddock on the left, to drain a couple of springs, into the culverts under the road. In the next week or so, the ground that has been leveled between the road and the fence will be sown into grass, so please slow down and pass oncoming traffic on the road, rather than running over the newly sown areas. Fences will be reinstated as soon as possible. 

Much of this work has been made possible with proceeds from the house on Tamaki River Road. Some of it maintenance, and some long overdue improvements around the farm and course. 


Plenty of opportunity to get some golf in this weekend, with Club day and Pennants. Please show respect for our wedding couple and their guests, (give them space) Have a great weekend. 


Good Golfing👍

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.

(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
