What's On 23 July 2021
Saturday 24th July: Card draw 11am We have three competitions on the go currently, Wiffin Cup, Sattrup & Brannigan, and Presidents Cup. Please keep these matches going when the weather permits.
Last chance to vote; With many members put off by the weather last Saturday, you have a chance this week to cast your vote on the "Tee Off Time" as below. Decision announced after golf Saturday.
"Tee Off Time", Captain Mike has been asked if the Match Committee would consider moving tee time back to 11.30am on Saturdays. This Saturday when you enter the Competition, you will be asked, Do you personally prefer 11am or 11.30 tee off. Please participate with an answer, " it doesn't worry me" is not an option! If you can't be there Saturday and want to participate in the vote, please contact Mike, mikematthews058@gmail.com "
Coming events;
Sunday August 1st; Inter Club v Pahiatua Mixed field 11am Tee Off following welcoming morning tea.
Saturday August 7th; SHB 27 Hole Strokeplay Tournament (Rosebowl Tournament). Our very own men's Tournament, so a good muster of Dannevirke members would be appreciated. A ladies field is also encouraged. Captain Mike has requested all Greenwood Cup hopefuls participate in this event, as a trial for the 2021 team.
Management Committee; from last night meeting;
Charity Grant; We have received our first grant this year from the Merrylees Hotel Charity for wages amounting too $12000.00. Applications are also in for a replacement Glass washer for the bar, plus one for the replacement of our main tractor. An application for the installation of a card machine at the club will follow.
Our eft-pos system has approval to add a second machine, to be used downstairs, and made available to Green fee players and campers.
Save your change for club days; Miranda reported with the BNZ bank now closed, the only option for banking is going into their machine, (when access is available) . Changing banks was discussed, but who knows when the two remaining banks will withdraw their services. If you can bring your small change and notes to golf instead of $50 notes fresh from the ATM, would be a great help. Options are being looked into.
Down stairs bar; Work is nearly complete in the lower bar. The wall seats are to be put back on the eastern and northern walls,. The club in indebted to our Vice President Peter Greatbatch and his staff at Greatbatch Builders for the building work carried out over the past few months. Many others have plied their trade on this project as well, and Scribe will get the information to thank them in this forum in the near future.
Irrigation / water security; The greens committee have meetings coming up with various parties, to put together a plan to sure up our water supply, which is failing us currently.. Kierane and AG provided a written report to the greens committee, which they wish to do monthly, to keep their committee and the Management Committee informed on what has happened on course, and any concerns they foresee
GHB / Poverty Bay Ladies Golf Association AGM; The AGM of our association is to be held next Thursday evening at the Maraenui Golf Club.
That's it tonight folk. Looking forward to a game Saturday, as I wimped out last week.
Good golfing
