Clubhouse Booking; On Saturday 3 July the Golf Club has been hired out for a private function. Therefore the upstairs lounge will be closed on Friday 2 July and Saturday 3 July. Could members please drink downstairs on those two days. Thanks for your co operation. Regards Stephen
Seniors; Tuesday July 6th we pay our final visit for the year to Waipawa. As usual the clubhouse will be open and the log fire probably roaring by 9.30am and tee off time is 10.30. Cheers Gus.
Course rating; Vaughan Hales took the opportunity to go the the presentation form NZ Golfs Phil Aitken, about how a course is rated. The second day was a practical day rating the Napier Course. An interesting day and a half. Have a chat with Vaughan sometime.
Staff request; following the recent rain, our Course staff ask, that members refrain from taking trundlers and carts onto the concrete area outside the clubhouse after they have been on the course. If going from the 9th green to number 10 tee, please use the metal track behind the clubhouse, and when you come off the 18th, please stay on the grass until you need to cross to the car park. This will keep the mud and wet grass of the concrete area, Thank you
On Course; a lesson I learned early in my early golfing days. Only take your trundler between a bunker and the green if your ball is there to be played, otherwise please take your trundler behind the bunker
Membership fees; to the members who don't pay weekly or monthly, your subscriptions are now overdue please. Any issues please contact our Secretary / Treasurer Miranda.. For nest years subs, if you want to pay weekly or monthly. if you commence the payments in October, your subscription will always be up to date. Please also occasionally check your account that the payment is still happening. (Some stop for unknown reasons) Members who move house, please email Miranda at dannevirkegolf@xtra.co.nz, so that accounts and membership cards etc are going to the correct address. Likewise, if you are stopping playing golf for any reason, you remain liable for your fees until a letter or email of resignation is received. Thank you
Gum Trees; The future of the gum trees on the right of number 16 are a concern. The greens committee are looking at having them removed. There are still sufficient trees there that protrude out towards the fairway, thus the final effect on the hole will be minimal at least. One of the gums can be heard cracking , but which one is hard to identify. The concern being that nobody wants staff or players hit by a falling limb, given the size of them .
Cart Shed; a reminder please that if you are taking a cart out from the shed, please lock the door before you go play golf, as we are still having the odd cart used and not paid for. President Tony and Captain Mike, and our staff can be contacted mid week to get carts for visitors.
Lets hope this week end is better than last so we can get back on the course .
Good golfing .
