Saturday 5th February;  We have a wedding reception at the Golf Club on Saturday 5 February. Therefore the upstairs lounge will be closed from Thursday. Can players please use the new downstairs bar. Thanks Stephen. 


Events Coming Up; On Monday 7th February Dannevirke will host the third round of the Tararua Open, Motor Home Association Tournament. Players will have already played Eketahuna and Pahiatua, so the camping area, and car park will have plenty of motor homes parked up. Captain Mike advises, we will be providing a roast meal for all players on the Monday evening. Mike is looking for members or partners who can assist during the afternoon to prepare, serve and clean up after the meal. If we have to break up into cooks servers and washing up duties, then so be it. Please indicate to Mike if you can and will assist. Captain Mike has other duties with this event, so please members lend him a hand, so that he and his good wife Barbara are not lumbered with doing the lot.


Sisters Club; The 50th playing of the Sisters Club Quadrangular Tournament will be played in Patea on 4 and 5 June this year. One of the original Clubs Greymouth, have been invited to attend. As accommodation will be at a premium I’m keen to get definite numbers for the tournament so our booking can be confirmed. Please contact me if you are keen to come to Patea. A commemorative shirt has been designed and I enclose a picture, the cost is $40.00 I need numbers and sizes by the 20th of February. (Hmm how do I attach that) Stephen Paewai <steveandmoira@xtra.co.nz>


Championships; These are due to get started in early March. For any new members in the past year, please advise Stephen Paewai <steveandmoira@xtra.co.nz> if you Do Not wish to be included in the draw.

Secondly there has been discussion recently regarding the Senior Championship being an Open Championship. If you wish to qualify for the Open Championship there will be a qualifying round on Saturday February 19th. Note; if you play in this round and do not qualify, you are not eligible to then be included in your usual grade. Please advise Captain Mike in the next week or so if you wish to play the qualifying round.


Coronation Cup; On Tuesday at the GHB Association Mens Committee Meeting, date for this years Coronation Cup were finalized.  Our zone play will be at Norsewood April 2nd and 3rd, with finals week end in Zone three on May 21/22. Fact. Interesting that the Association has 17 clubs, and they all participate in Coronation Cup. For nearly fifty years the zone play has been in May, finals June. There was a definite call to move play from the shortest day, to earlier in the season, and to move zone play away from Duck Shooting. Unfortunately the draft programme went too far, and had zone play in March before some of the nine hole clubs opened.  Discussions were frank but calm, and a resolution was found. In future years I beleive a finals date in mid to late May will be set, and the zones will be left to discuss and set their own zone play date.


GHB Pennants;  Confirmed dates are Round one 27th February, Round two 13th March, Round three 10th April, Round four 23/24 April (Anzac Week end), Round five May 1st, and Finals May 15.  April 23rd Karamu hosts Champ 2 and Handicap 1 grades, all other grades play Sunday 24th . April this year is difficult to programme, with two long week ends two weeks apart. 


I think I've covered everything I was asked to tonight, If not there's always next week, or the reply to all button.


Good Golfing

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.
