Sister’s Club
23 golfers will be representing the Club at the 50th celebrations of our annual quadrangular tournament at Patea over Queens Birthday Weekend, a very good effort. Just a reminder we are leaving from the Citizens and Services Club at 8.00am sharp on Friday 3 June, as we’re booked in at the Belmont Golf Club at 9.45am. That means be at the Club at 7.45am please or there may not be 23 representing the Dannevirke Golf Club at Patea. Stephen
Obituaries; Sadly the club has lost two of our Senior members during the past two weeks. Funerals were held yesterday for Mrs Edith Martin (Life Member) and today for Alex (Harpo) McLean. Speeches at both funerals mentioned their love of golf, and their contribution to the Club. Interesting that both Mrs Martin and Harpo reverted to 4 wheels in their later years to keep playing the game. Shear grit and determination.
Rest in Peace.
Best wishes to all involved in this week ends Club Champs. Thank you for getting through all matches to get to this point, given some very wet week ends, and the effects of Covid on members. A club house presentation for all champions will be held Saturday at the conclusion of play.
Good Golfing,
Bryan Burt
