Championships; Last Saturday both ladies and men held their Championship Finals, The day dawned fine but cool, the greens were freshly mowed, thank you AG. A great time of the year, and the course was in perfect condition for the finals. Winners Ladies Senior Angela Farrell, Intermediate Jad Suttor, Junior Chris Riddell. Men's Senior Syd Hikawai, Intermediate A Stan Truesdale, Intermediate B Shane Evans, Junior A Max Charmley, Junior B Kevin Jameson. Congratulations one and all. To the runners up, congratulations for getting to the finals, and providing the high level of competition that was seen on the day. Well done.


Saturday 29th May; Sattrup & Brannigan. 4bbb Matchplay. 11am Tee off. Captain Mike wants to get on with this competition, so is doing a draw Saturday at 10.45am. For those pairings present, if your opponents are also on course, please play your match Saturday. If this is not possible, please have this round completed before July 3rd, to keep the competition flowing.


Sunday 30th May;  Onga Onga 27 hole classic.


Tuesday 1st June Seniors ; Tuesday is the next round of the Spinley and Pukenui trays at Waipukurau at 10.30am. The clubhouse will be open from about 9.45am for a cuppa .The weather looks promising with a fine day 13 degrees and moderate westerlies. Gus


Saturday 5th Sunday 6th June; Sisters Club visit to Rarangi (Blenheim) A group of 19 golfers and three wives are travelling for this years tournament. We will again join members from Rarangi, Weedons (Christchurch) and Patea for a weekend of golf and socialising. A great weekend, will be had by all, and we know which trophies we don't want to bring home. 


The abundance of matchplay competition over the last couple of months, with Pennants, Club Champs, Coronation Cup etc, has been a feast for those who enjoy matchplay. It can also be damaging to handicaps, because matchplay can really bring the best out of some golfers. The dry autumn has also kept the course in summer condition with additional run, to the benefit of the shorter hitters. I hope you have taken advantage of these conditions and played plenty of golf. Long may it continue.


Promising to see new faces turning up and joining our Club. Sad on Saturday to farewell Margi & Dean Robinson, who have headed off to the Naki.  Margi played the finals of the Intermediate ladies competition as her swan song at Dannevirke.


Obituary; Carne Berry.. Carne has been a member at Dannevirke since moving into town from Pongaroa.  Well known for his years as a Coronation Cup player for Pongaroa, frequent tournament attendee, as well as a Past President of HB Eagles Association. To Annie and family, our thoughts are with you.


Note convinced of another fine week end at this stage, but we will see how Saturday dawns.

Good golfing.
