Coronation Cup; A very fine week end at Cape Turnagain last week end for the zone play of Coronation Cup. Played between Pongaroa, Cape Turnagain Norsewood and Dannevirke, we finished up with four points, having had team wins against Norsewood and the Cape, Pongaroa also had four points, with wins against ourselves and the Cape, The count back again proved our failing, with 17 individual wins against Pongaroas 23. Norsewood and Cape Turnagain both tied with 2 points, with Norsewood taking our the individual games count back. Our match scores were Dannevirke 8 v Cape 4, Dannevirke 7 v Norsewood 5 and Dannevirke 2 v Pongaroa 10. Best player from Dannevirke was Chappy Maniapoto with two wins and a half. Thankyou to the team for putting up a valiant effort, to Zane our team Captain / manager for getting everything and everyone organised. Caddies and supporters. A big thank you to The Cape Turnagain Golf Club, who as a smaller country club turned on a great couple of days, with their normal very high standard of hospitality. 


Sisters Club, Blenheim Queens Birthday weekend;  On Friday 4 June 21 members of the Dannevirke Golf Club will be travelling to Blenheim for the 49th playing of the quadrangular tournament. It’s not too late, there is room for others to join with us, so give me a call. Alternatively there is a meeting of the Sisters Club at the back bar of the Saigon (Tonka’s Turf) at 7 pm on Wednesday 26 May to provide all the details of the trip.

We’re meeting at the Citizens and Services Club at 9 am to catch the 1.30 pm ferry to Picton. We’re staying at the Grove Motor Lodge, Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, golf at Rarangi Golf Club on Saturday and Sunday, tee off at 10.30 am, then leaving Picton at 10.45 am on Monday 7 June arriving in Wellington at approx 2 pm. Regards Stephen


Seniors;            A shout out to those who ventured to Takapau today having left the horizontal rain in Dannevirke in search of good golfing weather. We were not disappointed. Fine weather with light winds greeted us. So with 21 players present away we went. However the gods decided that 9 holes was enough golf for the day and the gale force winds arrived. We called it a day. Some good scores were had with 21 points winning followed by a 19 and two at 17.
 On Thursday we have 18 golfers from Marton coming over so we are treating this as a normal club day with tee off at 10.00am so a good attendance would be nice. A fine day with light winds and 16 degrees is forecast.

Regards Gus


Request;   This is a very special request. I am trying to find a 45rpm record of Dean Martin singing “Little Old Winedrinker Me”. 

If anyone has this record stored away in a cupboard, or packed in a ‘For the Grandchildren’ Treasure Chest, and you

know you will never listen to it any time soon, I would love to have it – firstly because most of the grandchildren out

there have probably never heard of Dean Martin, and secondly it is very likely they would only use it as a Frisbee which

could prove to be rather dangerous – ACC and OSH would not be happy!!!!! I assure you it is going to a very good

home, so here’s hoping someone, somewhere, will be able to help. I can also confirm I’m not and I don’t drink wine.

Please phone or txt 027 233 9933.

 

Cheers, Gail B.

What's On 16th June 2025?

By Bryan Burt - club scribe • June 12, 2025
Saturday June 14th; Wiffin Cup Round 2 matchplay. Duty, Match Bernie, House Basil A subtle reminder from our captains, that some round 1 Wiffin Cup matches are still outstanding. Please get these completed as soon as possible. Please let the person waiting to play the winner know what is happening, so they are aware. Sattrup & Brannigan; The draw is up in the club house. The weather was not that great last Saturday for first round matches, but again please keep in contact with your opponents, and get these games played before round 2 on June 28th. Given we are now in winter conditions, please use metal tracks etc where possible, especially if you are in a cart or on a bike. Skid marks take forever to grow grass in the winter, and your fellow golfers won't be happy playing off the bare dirt. Not a lot to report tonight, so I'll sign off. Good Golfing👍 Bryan Burt Club Scribe

Dannevirke South School is having a major reunion, and as such we have four groups of 4 playing nine holes at 9am. Please extend a warm welcome to our visitors. Saturday 31st / Sunday 1st June; Sisters Club Inter Club being played at Rarangi (Blenheim) We have a team of 20 heading south for this annual event, which is being played for about the 53rd time? Pine Trees; The Club has 6 plantations of pines which have been there for many years. The original intention being to plant these for harvest, and time has come for this process to begin. In the very near future, there will be felling carried out in three areas. Firstly some pines that need to come down at the back of number 11 green, by the railway, the plantation to the right of 13 (Lands End,) and a couple of pines to the left of number 13, which shade the green during winter. This work will have minimal effect on fairways, as the trees at the back of 11 will be trucked out via the farm, the lands end plantation will go out through the former Ministry of Works yard, the ones to the left of Lands end will go out along the river bank again to the MOW yard. The question of replanting, particularly the right of Lands End will be considered and proposals put to the December 2025 Annual General Meeting. All tree felling will be done early in the morning, and only trimming and log removal will carry on during the day. Please, If any area is fenced off, and No Entry signs are in place, then they are there for yours and the contractors safety. Such areas are not a recommendation, they are a rule, and any members seen entering these areas will be severely spoken too ! Another big weekend for Dannevirke mens golf. On behalf of our members, best wishes to our Coronation Cup team. Good Golfing,👍 Bryan Burt Club Scribe
