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.

 

Management Committee Meeting Wednesday 19th May;

 

A request please for those members who hire carts. With the club shop no longer manned, could we request that when you get a cart out, that you shut and lock the roller door. There has been situations of non members helping themselves to carts, and we want to put a stop to this. Apologies for the inconvenience, but it only hirage that will assist to replace our carts, not free use to all and sundry.

 

Subscriptions; Members who pay annually or by installment, should have done so by now. Anyone wanting to change to monthly or Direct debit payments, please contact our Secretary / Treasurer Miranda 

 

Best of luck to all involved in Championship matches this weekend. If any players have difficulty with their time slot, please contact your respective Club Captain.

 

Good Golfing

What's On 11 August 2025?

By Bryan Burt - club scribe • September 11, 2025
Coring; Kierane and his team had a good run early in the week and got the course open for golfing today. Thanks to our staff and all who helped out. Friday 12th September; (3 options) 1 Our course is open, so weather permitting, there will be golf at Dannevirke 2 Cape Turnagain are hosting the Annual Firms Day. 18 holes 10 am Morning tea, 11 am Tee off. $30 entry fee; 3 Onga Onga, Our very own Jim Hickey (aka Doug) thinks the weather here tomorrow is going to be horrid, but a bit further away from the ranges at Onga Onga, things look better with rain not predicted until later in the day. Anyone wanting to go north, leave from the Mangatera Hotel car park at 10.45 am, Tee off at Onga at 11.30 am. Saturday 13th September; Kitt, Kerr, Hape, Simpson foursomes. Duty Zane, House Johnny. Zane has a copy of the rules for those who are not sure on them. 11.30am tee off Green Staff: There is a rule that states "Greens Staff have the right of way". There is only so many hours in a week, and the staff have lots to do to get everything groomed. If a tractor is heading towards you, please wait for them to get out of your range before hitting your ball. You wouldn't hit a ball at someone walking towards you, so don't do so to someone on a tractor. They can't jump out of the way of an oncoming ball if that were to happen. If a green is being mowed, wave the green staff to carry on; it only takes a few minutes to mow a green. A couple of minutes' delay for your round of golf is nothing compared to consistent stopping and starting for the staff. Common sense should prevail. If in doubt, " Wait, thank you. Spring weather is really upon us at present. Tomorrow looks ugly, but who knows? If you wish to brave the conditions, there are plenty of options this weekend. Good Golfing👍 Bryan Burt Club Scribe

Evening all, Saturday 6th September; Card draw at 11.30 am, Duty? House Tony Saturday 13th September; Kitt, Kerr, Hape, Simpson 4somes over 18 holes. This has been mentioned previously, so make up a pair and come along for an 11.30 am start. Takapau 18 Hole Strokeplay Tournament. Thanks for the support from the 20 members who went through to Takapau last Saturday. We made up close to a quarter of the field, so great support for our friends at Takapau. The gross winner was J McGillicuddy. Pongaroa were the 2025 winners of the Ruahine Rosebowl.  That's it for tonight, folks. Have a good weekend. Good Golfing👍 Bryan Burt Club Scribe

What's On 29 August 2025?

By Bryan Burt - Club Scribe • August 28, 2025
A few bits and pieces to mention. Friday 29th August; Course Closed. The course is closed tomorrow for a Master Builders Ambrose Tournament. There is 90-something players in the field starting on multiple tees, so best we keep clear for them . Friday Boys Mid-Day Competition: Doug has suggested playing in Takapau tomorrow. Gather at the Mangatera Hotel car park for an 11 am departure, 11.30 am tee off at Takapau. Saturday 30th August; Takapau 18-hole Stroke play tournament. (Final Ruahine Rosebowl). The draw for this event is attached (click) . Please ignore the numbers down the left side . The top part of the draw is teeing of Dardanelles with the junior field going off Westwood Ho. It looks like a late start but given they have allowed 11-minute gaps, I am sure the field will start quicker than written. I would suggest being early as I can't see 11-minute times being adhered to. For those interested, a van is leaving Drums at 9.15am. Saturday 30th August; At home, Duty Richie House Angela. Seniors, because of the impending visit by Central and Southern to Cape Turnagain on Tuesday, September 2 nd , we will have a full Club day on Thursday, 4 th , complete with raffles, approaches, etc. On the 9 th September, we are unable to play because of coring. We are looking at a visit to Fielding or Eketahuna on that day. We shall advise next week as to where we are going, and see who are interested. Monday 8th September; Coring. The course will be closed until this job is complete. Kierane will advise when the course is reopened Hole In One; Congratulations Jolanda Van Viliet for holing out on number 14 yesterday. Great effort, Jolanda. Plenty happening as we head into spring golf. Good luck to the 22 heading to Takapau on Saturday. Hopefully, this isn't their last Tournament, but that is a matter for the members to sort. Good Golfing👍 Bryan Burt Club Scribe
